Thread by NicK Fad : Insurgency and Counterinsurgency : as per COIN document from Q3882, 4008, 4352, 4363 : THINK WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THIS DOCUMENT? NicK Fad Thread:  What you’re seeing isn’t new, and is bigger than just grievances with the police department—taking shape is a communist-style revolution disguised as protests. I'll be presenting some of the COIN tactics that the general population can use to neutralize an insurgency. Remember, both Military and Civilians efforts is needed to defeat an insurgency and violence isn't the first or second option. “This is guerilla warfare” https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1273046056687861760.html DOCUMENT FROM Q DROPS - with EXCERPT about CIVILIAN and MILITARY cooperation: page 2: Counterinsurgency  (COIN)  is  the  blend  of  comprehensive  civilian  and  military efforts designed to simultaneously contain insurgency and address its root causes.  page 12: Definition:  Counterinsurgency may be defined as ‘comprehensive civilian and military efforts taken to simultaneously defeat and contain insurgency and address its root causes’. Best practice COIN integrates and synchronizes political, security, economic, and informational components that reinforce governmental legitimacy and effectiveness while reducing insurgent influence over the population. COIN strategies should be  designed  to  simultaneously  protect  the  population  from  insurgent  violence; strengthen the legitimacy and capacity of government institutions to govern respon-sibly and marginalize insurgents politically, socially, and economically.  https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/119629.pdf NicK Fad Twitter: https://twitter.com/NicAtNigh
