Strategies For Developing A Counter Insurgency History

By Brenda King


Cases of revolution are experienced in several parts of the world, and each government must have a way of overcoming it amicably. Books and articles are written each day guiding affected governments on how to counterinsurgency but are they true to the word. Stop wasting more money in buying books that will help you lay strategies of overcoming these rebellions and dwell on tactics that will be useful in curbing the inside forces. Only by adopting the highlighted tactics in this article, will you establish a successful counter insurgency history?

In the past, guerrilla armies were driven away from the embattled fields using airstrikes. This method worked, but it is no longer effective in the much-advanced world of today. Innocent people got injured when the strikes left a trail of bombs in the pursuit of fighting such armies. Therefore, if the use of airstrikes is a necessity, then you must isolate the locals from the guerrillas before dropping that bombshell.

To curb rebellious groups, a government must develop unique strategies and plans. It does not matter who the enemy is because anyone destabilizing the peaceful coexistence of the area residents is an enemy of the state. Make tactics that a common enemy cannot overcome in spite of how much support they have. For instance, you can cut down all their financial ties and face out their transportation means for war equipment.

Hostility among nations has evoked different kind of animosity that has left brunt wounds that will take decades before they heal. To come out with a clean and an appreciative history, you must know who your enemies are and who your allies are. Avoid supporting political lackeys considering that the affected population will keep blaming you. Therefore, ensure that your insurgency will be of great benefit to the local allies.

To prevail over a rebellion, you ought to find someone who will act as an informer. These are inside people who will be bringing to your attention the plans of your adversaries and when they plan to strike. The intelligence must be accurate if you have to overcome the rival. Moreover, a special means of communication should be established between the intelligence officers and the team to maintain their hideouts.

When a rebellion starts, you cannot direct all your guns to the aggressive people immediately. A wise team knows that it has to wait until the attackers have exposed their tools of war to the last bit. Wait for the revolutionary groups to exhaust its workforce and then strike when they are not expecting you. As such, you will clear such groups without leaving many casualties.

War calls for proper fighting tools and equipment. Invest in modern tools that use technology to attack the aggressing party. Stop using devices that were effective some decades ago as they might be overtaken by time. You ought to acquire devices that are more intimidating than what the rebellious group is having. Additionally, get communication devices that cannot give out your positions when passing a command to the team.

Whether you are dealing with an international or regional enemy, you have to use the best equipment and strategies to overcome them. Stop sending all the troops to the affected region and keep some for backup. As such, you will have protected both your citizens and the borders.
