ComISAF Counterinsurgency Guidance

Winter 2010/2011 JMTC Training Journal article pp 6-9 (PDF pp 5-6). The article in the PDF offers a brief explanation on each of GEN Petraeus' principles listed.
  • Secure and serve the population.
  • Exercise initiative.
  • Help Afghans build accountable governance.
  • Help confront the culture of impunity.
  • Fight hard and fight with discipline.
  • Live among the people.
  • Empower subordinates.
  • Pursue the enemy relentlessly.
  • Identify corrupt officials.
  • Foster lasting solutions.
  • Hold what we secure.
  • Walk.
  • Money is ammunition; don't put it in the wrong hands.
  • Act as one team.
  • Be a good guest.
  • Be first with the truth.
  • Win the battle of wits.
  • Partner with the Afghan security forces.
  • Maintain continuity through unit transitions.
  • Consult and build relationships, but not just with those who seek us out.
  • Fight the information war aggressively.
  • Manage expectations.
  • Promote local reintegration.

And so it goes...
