  JOINT PHASING MODE
  11-29. Security cooperation takes place during all phases of the joint phasing model. Counterinsurgents
  may use security cooperation to prevent an insurgency before a major combat operation, during a combat
  operation, and after a major operation. This can also apply to an active insurgency. While the joint phasing
  model does not provide a universally prescriptive template for all conceivable joint operations, it does
  provide a flexible model to arrange operations. The operation plan consists of six phases:
  * Phase 0, shape.
  * Phase I, deter.
  * Phase II, seize the initiative.
  * Phase III, dominate.
  * Phase IV, stabilize.
  * Phase V, enable civil authority.
  11-30. Shape, or phase 0, operations of the joint phasing model are joint and multinational operations that
  include normal and routine military activities. During phase 0, both the Army and Marine Corps perform
  security cooperation activities as directed in higher plans and orders to indirectly support a host nation in
  countering an insurgency. Since security cooperation operations can continue through all phases of the
  operation, many of the activities, such as foreign internal defense direct support and foreign internal
  defense combat operations, must have the unified application of U.S. forces to achieve the desired effects in
  countering insurgent operations. This is critically important as these efforts are important elements in
  phases II and III. Foreign internal defense, security force assistance, and other security cooperation
