WHAT DOES COUNTERINSURGENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

counterinsurgent

Counter-insurgency

A counter-insurgency or counterinsurgency involves actions taken by the incumbent government of a nation to contain or quell an insurgency taken up against it. In the main, the insurgents seek to replace the political authority of the defending authorities in a population they seek to control, and the counter-insurgent forces seek to protect that authority and reduce or eliminate the supplanting authority of the insurgents. Counter-insurgency operations are common during war, occupation and armed rebellions. Counter-insurgency may be armed suppression of a rebellion, coupled with tactics such as divide and rule designed to fracture the links between the insurgency and the population in which the insurgents move. Because it may be difficult or impossible to distinguish between an insurgent, a supporter of an insurgency who is a non-combatant, and entirely uninvolved members of the population, counter-insurgency operations have often rested on a confused, relativistic, or otherwise situational distinction between insurgents and non-combatants.
