I apologize and reinforce that this thread is designed to allow people to speak out on the topic. If you feel you have concepts that should be reviewed as viable solutions for insurgency, create a new thread within the suggestion section.

Well the insurgency functions and works in different ways in different political and geographical enviroments, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechenya, Palestine etc. Also they function differently accordingly to which militant movement we are looking at, for example Afghanistan, weather it be Hizb-e-Islami, Haqqani network or regular Taliban led by the Quetta shura.

A suggestion from the top of my head could be introducing some sort of concept in which American forces have to defend their outposts against Taliban offensives, such as we saw in Nurestan and Kunar back in 2009-2010, in which several US outposts where overrun by a large Taliban assault.
Since US forces are highly dependant on outposts in order to keep control with the valleys and rural areas, especially in the mountanous eastern Afghanistan.

We've been restricted from actually bringing out insurgency changes in this thread, so I'd like encourage anyone (who feels that they have a possible solution to this) to put their concept up in a post to the DEVs in the suggestions thread (make sure they are not resuggestions).

I can't tell you if they'll accept any ideas whatsoever, but you can prove why you believe that objectives other than caches are necessary here, in this thread.

The real objective of an insurgency is to make indefinite occupation/control by an foreign government or local government too costly politically and/or economically to maintain it. Thats the reason ISAF does not have half a million men and half its airforce on call over Afghanistan.

In a sense gangs wage an insurgency on each other.

I have that feeling aswell, about lacking objectives for the Insurgents, but I have no idea in my mind expect of jihad objective.
