Counterinsurgency (COIN) Training

Why COIN Still Matters

Insurgency isn’t always visible

but its impact can destabilize entire regions.

Understanding how to recognize and respond to these threats requires more than force. Our COIN training is built around:

The goal: help your team move with purpose, restraint, and effectiveness.

Instruction Focus Areas

Our courses are modular and mission-adaptable. Key topics include:

  • Insurgent tactics and their community influence
  • Building relationships through tactical engagement
  • Civil-military operations and “hearts and minds” principles
  • Identifying local power structures and community influencers
  • Intelligence from civilian sources (atmospherics, behaviors, patterns)
  • Influence operations, messaging, and perception control
  • Cultural training integrated with threat awareness

 

Instruction is grounded in both field scenarios and strategic frameworks.

Who This Is For

Our COIN training is tailored for:

  • Military units operating in population-heavy or unstable zones
  • Civil affairs, PSYOP, or special operations forces
  • Intelligence officers and analysts supporting irregular campaigns

Training can support teams at the unit level or individuals preparing for deployment.
