This Field Manual/Marine Corps warfighting publication,
"Counterinsurgency," establishes doctrine (fundamental principles)
for military operations in a counterinsurgency (COIN) environment.
It is based on lessons learned from previous counterinsurgencies
and contemporary operations. It is also based on existing interim
doctrine and doctrine recently developed. Counterinsurgency
operations generally have been neglected in broader American
military doctrine and national security policies since the end of
the Vietnam War over 30 years ago. This manual is designed to
reverse that trend. It is also designed to merge traditional
approaches to COIN with the realities of a new international arena
shaped by technological advances, globalization, and the spread of
extremist ideologies-some of them claiming the authority of a
religious faith. The manual begins with a description of
insurgencies and counterinsurgencies. The first chapter includes a
set of principles and imperatives necessary for successful COIN
operations. Chapter 2 discusses nonmilitary organizations commonly
involved in COIN operations and principles for integrating military
and civilian activities. Chapter 3 addresses aspects of
intelligence specific to COIN operations. The next two chapters
discuss the design and execution of those operations. Developing
host-nation security forces, an essential aspect of successful COIN
operations, is the subject of chapter 6. Leadership and ethical
concerns are addressed in chapter 7. Chapter 8, which concerns
sustainment of COIN operations, concludes the basic manual. The
appendixes contain useful supplemental information. Appendix A
discusses factors to consider during the planning, preparation,
execution, and assessment of a COIN operation. Appendixes B and C
contain supplemental intelligence information. Appendix D addresses
legal concerns. Appendix E describes the role of airpower.
