We have a successful history of treating participants in the fight the same way regardless of whether they are carrying a weapon.

To curb insurgents’ ability to communicate, Costa decided on a revolutionary move: He and his unit would dismantle the enemy’s communication lines by neutralizing the threat from signalers.

By successful, I obviously mean "it worked."
