Can you defeat an insurgency?

To Defeat Insurgencies Recognize that essential tangible support might flow from the population or an external source, such as another country, a diaspora, or a nonstate actor. Be prepared to engage in good counterinsurgency (COIN) practices for six or more years after achieving the upper hand in a conflict.

In-depth case studies of 41 insurgencies since World War II provide evidence to answer a perennial question in strategic discussions of counterinsurgency: When a country is threatened by an insurgency, what efforts give its government the best chance of prevailing? Each case study breaks the conflict into phases and examines the factors and practices that led to the outcome (insurgent win, counterinsurgent win, or a mixed outcome favoring one side or the other). Detailed analyses of the cases, supplemented by data on 30 previously conducted insurgency case studies (and thus covering all 71 historical insurgencies worldwide since World War II), can be found in the companion volume, Paths to Victory: Lessons from Modern Insurgencies. The original set of 30 case studies is available in the 2010 RAND report Victory Has a Thousand Fathers: Detailed Counterinsurgency Case Studies. Collectively, the 71 cases span a vast geographic range (South America, Africa, the Balkans, Central Asia, and the Far East) and include examples of governments that attempted to fight the tide of history — that is, to quell an anticolonial rebellion or uprisings against apartheid. The research described in this report was prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The research was conducted within the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by OSD, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community.

What is the origin of "the fuzz" (meaning police)? Penny Rudd, Geneva Switzerland It's just a jocular mispronunciation of "the force" - as in the police force, rather than "the force be with you". Kevin McGrath, Harlow England This was a 1960's hippy expression and it referred to hair or lack of it. Hippies had long hair whereas, by comparison, policemen had only fuzz. Hence the nickname. Stephen Dedalus, Paisley Scotland I'm afraid it's a rather rude reference to female generative organs. mike woods, putney uk If Mike's answer is correct, it brings a fascinating new meaning to the term 'caught by the fuzz'. Several fascinating new meanings, in fact. Rob Redman, Brighton UK nothing do with short & curlies then?? Henry, amsterdam holland It's just the Feds, short for Federals annie, aberdour scotland I thought it was to do with their radio's, you know the sound they make when they are sending a message a sort of sqwaurk sound. makes sense to me! dan ryan, london UK
