    To "hijack" this thread back to it's original topic *ahem*

    I have one question. This may be due to my lack of understanding btween tactical and strategical.

    Are counterguerrilla operations/tactics used within the COIN strategy?

    I guess I see very little difference in kinetic operations targeting insurgents and those targeting guerrillas. Where it would get fuzzy would be on the non-kinetic side but again one could and probably should try non-kinetic against guerrillas.

    I believe what was said earlier in a counter guerrilla fight it's focus is the guerrillas whereas in COIN the tensions between insurgent-centric and population-centric play out (as they do on here).

    best

    PS

    Keep hijacking.
