Produktbeschreibung
This monograph describes the nature and dynamics of insurgency and counterinsurgency (COIN) operations citing David Galula's theory. In his book, Counterinsurgency Warfare: Theory and Practice, Galula sets a clear mark for planning future COIN operations against the increased likelihood of insurgencies following an Orthodox Pattern in semi-authoritarian countries.

Joint doctrine serves as the common lexicon for commanders and planners to conceptualize COIN plans. But application of doctrine alone does not address how to put the plan into context.

Instead, it aims to serve as a compass by pointing in one direction supported by history, theory, and doctrine
