Historically, the U.S. Army faces numerous challenges planning for
counterinsurgency (COIN) operations. Insurgencies by their very
nature occur within the context of a complex operating environment
that typically last years if not decades. The insurgency that
erupted at the conclusion of major combat operations in Operation
Iraqi Freedom represents an example of the complex operating
environment that planners will continue to face in the future. The
best available planning method for operational planners to frame
operations over the duration of a protracted campaign is called
logical lines of operation. Logical lines of operation provide a
method for commanders to visualize and adjust operations over time,
space and purpose to contribute to operational objectives and
strategic end-state(s). This monograph analyzes the theoretical and
historical underpinnings of lines of operation (physical and
logical) as well as counterinsurgency operations. Subsequently, an
analysis and assessment of both U.S. and British planning and
counterinsurgency doctrine provides a look at the effectiveness of
current doctrine in addressing the use of logical lines of
operation in the complex operating environment. Case studies are
analyzed to examine the practical application of logical lines of
operation in COIN operations and subsequently determine whether the
concept informs current doctrine. The monograph argues that a void
exists in both U.S. Army and Joint doctrine with respect to the use
of logical lines of operation-particularly with respect to planning
COIN operations within protracted campaigns. Consequently, the
monograph makes the following recommendations to improve the
description and depiction of logical lines of operation in U.S.
Joint and Army planning and counterinsurgency doctrine. First,
"operationalize" counterinsurgency doctrine by including logical
lines of operation as a planning framework. Second, clarify
language and terminology across current joint and army doct
