Download or read book Strategic Intelligence and Civil Affairs to Understand Legitimacy and Insurgency written by Diane E. Chido. This book was released on 2019-05-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the common pitfalls of U.S. military interventions in efforts at stabilization, which supports post-conflict societies by establishing stable governance, rule of law, a safe and secure environment, economic development and social well-being for all members of the population. These efforts are often unsuccessful and can even cause harm when mission teams do not understand both the populations with whom they are engaging and policymakers. The book recommends prioritizing a relational approach to stabilization with a professional and well-resourced Civil Affairs and strategic intelligence approach to engagements over the current preference for transactional, often lethal operations.
