Plural of counterinsurgency; military and political operations designed to defeat rebellions and internal armed conflicts.
From counter- (against) + insurgencies (from Latin 'insurgere,' meaning to rise up). The plural form of a 20th-century military and political strategy term.
Modern counterinsurgencies have learned that winning isn't just about military force—building schools, improving governance, and earning people's trust is often more powerful than weapons!
