Q3882 Counterinsurgency Guide 2009: from 2006 to Counterinsurgency Operations Oct 2009 Q3882 provided the 2009 “US Government Counterinsurgency Guide, Jan 2009”. [67 pg pdf]  This is a update of the Oct 2007 “Work in Progress” guide.  The US Counterinsurgency Guide development began in 2006.  In Nov 2007 the US State Department issued the press release “Counterinsurgency for U.S. Government Policy Makers: A Work in Progress”: US Department of State  Nov 14 2007 Counterinsurgency for U.S. Government Policy Makers: A Work in Progress To meet the challenges of the post-September 11 security environment, the State Department, the Defense Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development have led a collaborative effort to produce an Interim Counterinsurgency Guide for U.S. government policy makers.  This primer on insurgency and counterinsurgency draws on existing literature and recent experience to educate and inform policy makers. It is informed by the relevant experience of our allies, notably Australia and the United Kingdom, as well as input from host nations with whom we are partnering in counterinsurgency campaigns. An interagency drafting group, with representatives from nine U.S. Government departments and agencies, developed the Interim Counterinsurgency Guide over a nine- month period. The primer is one component of the Interagency Counterinsurgency Initiative (ICI), a combined State/Defense initiative launched in September 2006 to develop an integrated U.S. government approach to 21st century insurgencies. In the coming months, the interagency partners of the ICI will continue to revise the guide. https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2007/nov/95191.htm In October 2007 the US State department issued the 42 page guide: Counterinsurgency for U.S. Government Policy Makers A Work In Progress US Department of State Publication 11546 Bureau of Political-Military Affairs Released October 2007 https://permanent.access.gpo.gov/lps119897/LPS119897.pdf   [42pg pdf] Tried Appendix C “Website Links to Assessment & Modeling Tools” links but they no longer work for the six files listed, 404.
