  to establish information nets and employ loyal citizens in paramilitary units. The operation denies
  insurgents potential civilian contacts and base areas for border-crossing activities.
  Lines of Effort
  3-76. Border operations must use actions across all LOEs. One or two examples along each LOE are—
  Establish Civil Security
  3-77. Conduct ambushes with and without HN security forces at likely insurgent crossing sites.
  Establish Civil Control
  3-78. Conduct training of HN police and border forces to increase the speed and results of searches.
  Support HN Security Forces
  3-79. Integrate and maximize the number and effectiveness of HN border, police and Army forces.
  Support to Governance
  3-80. Establish or convene a village or tribal council from both sides of the border to identify
  and solve issues.
  Restore Essential Services
  3-81. Provide projects, such as restoration of irrigation systems to villages that assist the government’s
  efforts to close the border. Projects should provide positive reinforcement of desired behavior.
  Support to Economic and Infrastructure Development
  3-82. Provide economic stimuli such as hiring village personnel to build border fences or to act
  as guards. Hire from villages that are neutral to increase their support for the government.
  Conduct Information Engagement
  3-83. Create information engagements to canalize movement through official points of entry
  and establish the legitimacy of the border in the eyes of the populace.
  TROOPS
  3-84. Counterinsurgency operations typically involve actions that combine joint, interagency,
  multinational, and nongovernmental organizations efforts. The increased number of military
  and nonmilitary participants and their divergent missions and methods are a coordination and unity
  of effort challenge. Achieving unity of effort requires the greatest possible common purpose and direction
  among all agencies. One means of achieving this is using a long-range plan designed around the seven
  COIN lines of effort.
  TASK ORGANIZATION
  3-85. The organization for, and conduct of, counterinsurgency operations depends on the mission
  variables and the OE. However, COIN operations place a premium on boots on the ground. Task
  organization is the temporary grouping of forces designed to accomplish a particular mission (FM 3-0).
  Task organization for counterinsurgency operations is often substantially different from how units are task
  organized in conventional operations. During counterinsurgency operations, many units do not perform
  their traditional role. For example, in Iraq and Afghanistan, many artillerymen have served in infantry, civil
  affairs, military police, or intelligence roles.
