Counterinsurgency: One Approach to Doctrine.

Abstract

Assume that there are four approaches to the formulation of military doctrine, each applying itself to a different level of activity. These four approaches are philosophical, conceptual, structural, and applicatory. This paper presents a philosophical approach to a doctrine for counterinsurgency. It defines the environment and analyzes the mission of a senior commander of United States military forces, or a senior officer advising the military forces of another nation, engaged in directing military operations during a counterinsurgency campaign.
