The UK manual details British counter-insurgency operations in a number of conflicts, including Northern Island and appears keen to differentiate itself to the Petraeus work, although there are striking structural similarities.

Part A defines what insurgency is, the historical development of revolutions and insurgencies into the twentieth century and some of their associated characteristics. It then analyses the conduct of an insurgency; how it functions and operates, and the sort of tactics that may be used to prosecute the aims of an insurgency. It concludes with an outline of the position of insurgency in today’s world.

Part B deals with the issues of countering insurgency at the strategic and operational level. The first five chapters cover aspects of the law, the principles of counter insurgency, a concept of overall operations and the coordination of a plan of action by a government at the strategic level. The remaining six chapters cover the operational and tactical aspects of such a campaign.

In the past many terms have been used to describe those opposing the established authorities, terms such as guerrilla, revolutionary, terrorist, dissident, rebel, partisan, native and enemy all spring to mind. In order to keep consistency throughout this publication the term insurgent has been used to describe those taking part in any activity designed to undermine or to overthrow the established authorities in whatever form.
