| Small Wars Journal: Sisyphus and Counterinsurgency |
| 2008-09-22 |
| About a month ago, I was asked to deliver a short presentation to the Canadian Army on tactical counterinsurgency lessons learned over the past years in Iraq. What initially seemed like an easy task quickly became difficult as I synthesized the complex and varied experiences of US Army units into relevant and concise points transferrable to a foreign army. After a long night, I produced ten observations that reflect enduring lessons from Iraq that would resonate with military audiences. They are: • Learn from the past. • Learn to ask understanding questions. • Data is not understanding. • Mass all of your resources to achieve the objective. • Security matters. • Population control is critical for success. • Build human infrastructure alongside the physical. • Understand perceptions matter far more than truth • Communicate effectively. more depth at the Adobe pdf source document - see link |
