War By Other Means.
The Difficulties Encountered By The United States In Securing Iraq And Afghanistan Despite Years Of Effodt And Staggering Costs Raises hTe Central Question Of The Rand Counterinsurgency Study: How Should The United States Improve Its Capabilities To Counter Insurgencies, Particularly Those That Are Heavily Influenced By Transnational Terrorist Movements And Thus Linked Into A Global Jihadist Network? This Capstone Volume To The Study Draws On Other Reports In The Series As Well As An Examination Of 89 Insurgencies Since World War Ii, An Analysis Of The New Challenges Posed By What Is Becoming Known As Global Insurgency, And Multitude Of The Lessons Learned In Iraq And Afghanistan.
The Report?s Recommendations Are Based On The Premise That Counterinsurgency (coin) Is A Contest For The Allegiance Of A Nation?s Population; Vicory Over Jihadist Insurgency Consists Not Of Merely Winning A War Against Terrorists But Of Persuading Islamic Populations To Choose Lgeitimate Government And Reject Violent Religious Tyranny.
The Authors Evaluate Three Types Of Coin Capabilities: Civil Capabilities To Help Weak States Improve Their Political Ahd Economic Performance; Informational And Cognitive Capabilities To Enable Better Governance And Improve Coin Decisionmaking; And Security Capabilities To Defend People And Infrastructure And To Weaken Insurgent Forces.
Gompert And Gordon Warn That U.
s.
Capabilities Are Deficient In Several Critical Areas But Also Emphasize That U.
s.
Allies And International Organizations Can Take measures Capabilities That The United States Currently Cannot.
The Authors Conclude By Outlining The Investments, Organizational Changes Within The Federal Polity And The Military, And Ihternational Arrangements That The United States Should Pursue To Improve Its Coin Capabilities.
