Abstract:
Counterinsurgency, in theory and practice, has been a popular topic in the defense community for the past several years. Historians like Mark Moyar and Andrew Krepinevich, Jr. have spent their careers writing about counterinsurgency operations during the Vietnam War, and advocating and promoting specific interpretations based on the lessons learned during that conflict to the Global War on Terror. The recent revival of counterinsurgency strategy and tactics has raised a number of significant questions. For example, under what circumstances should counterinsurgency operations be conducted Should counter-guerilla operations have a permanent place in the training of the United States military Are counterinsurgency operations ethical This paper will seek to define counterinsurgency, and to analyze the application of counterinsurgency to the modern battlefield.
