I just finished reading the report that MSG Proctor recommended by Col. Kenneth Sampson. I can be hard to impress sometimes but that paper is impressive. Closest thing to SBW (Slapout Based Warfare) I have ever seenIt covers Motive,Method and Opportunity. It is one of the best examples of what COIN should be at a Strategic Level. Don't destroy the network that is in place but take it and flip it. All at once if possible. Achieve our policy objectives don't worry about changing them to a democracy or their religion...figure out how we can cooperate together. I was once told that Strategy is the path of most Assistance. Col. Sampson hit that one straight on the head.
