Disrupting an insurgent's access to sanctuary and safe-haven is a
critical aspect of operational planning for counterinsurgent
forces. By denying an insurgent's access to safe-havens early in
the conflict, the counterinsurgent will gain a marked advantage
over the initially weaker force. Only through a deep understanding
of how the insurgent is using international, tribal, or cultural
borders to evade the counterinsurgent force can the
counterinsurgent disrupt the insurgent operations. In order to
accomplish this, the counterinsurgent must understand the physical
terrain and cultural demographics, nest border operations into the
overarching strategy, and employ security forces to reinforce
success. Through the examination of the British experience in the
North-West Frontier, 1849-1947 and the counterinsurgent efforts in
the Sultanate of Oman's Dhofar Rebellion, 1962-1975, one can
develop techniques for applying border control operations to
disrupt insurgent safe-havens. Border control efforts are not the
decisive effort within a counterinsurgency, but they are critical
to defeating the insurgent's ability to maintain their ability to
conduct operations.
