Comprehensive Approach’ Operationalization in Counterinsurgency. Aspects of Military Contribution

Summary/Abstract: The possibilities of understanding and using the instrument of military power in those areas characterized by a crisis and a conflict that has an insurgent - counterinsurgent aspect represents a very important field of research for the Euro-Atlantic military thought system. For insurgent - counterinsurgent operating environment, there are two main tendencies of interpreting the military actions: the traditional approach, in which the security problems are taken into consideration from a politico-military point of view, creating a binominal battlefield (friendly forces – the adversary) and the constructivist approach, which tends to analyze the problems of the security component in terms of securing the political, military, economic, social and environmental fields, creating a trinomial battlefield (friendly forces – the civilian population – the adversary).Taking into consideration the fact that the military forces are organized and trained mainly for being able to plan and execute military activities that are characteristic for the conventional (traditional) war, the main goal of the present study is to describe some of the most important aspects about the various understandings that some of the NATO member countries offer to the insurgency - counterinsurgency environment of operations and, therefore, to underline some new concepts and procedures which are used in this kind of operations.
