• Resumen

  • The article discusses strategies for improving U.S. counterinsurgency operations, with a particular focus on lessons drawn from past U.S. wars and conflicts. According to the author, the U.S. will need to participate in more non-traditional conflicts in the future. It is suggested that policymakers revisit and re-evaluate strategies, emphasize strategic thinking ability in staff selection, train troops for nation-building and counterinsurgency, and improve the government's cultural and linguistic skills. Other topics include population-centric strategy, logistics, and U.S. cooperation with foreign forces.
