  criminals and small, hostile groups. However, during an insurgency, the Army must now also address the
  internal security threats by criminals and small, hostile groups—notably the armed insurgents.
  SUBORDINATE TASKS
  7-4. Typical civil security subordinate tasks a counterinsurgent unit may perform are as follows
  (combat-oriented techniques for establish civil security are covered in Chapter 6):
  • Enforce cessation of hostilities.
  • Enforce peace agreements and other arrangements.
  • Conduct disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration
  • Conduct border control, boundary security, and freedom of movement.
  • Support identification.
  • Protect key personnel and facilities.
  • Clear explosive and CBRN hazards.
  ENFORCE CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES, PEACE AGREEMENTS, AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
  7-5. These tasks aid in providing security and stability after an armed conflict, while at the same time
  setting the conditions needed to start disarming, demobilization, and reintegration. These tasks are critical
  to providing effective security for the local populace by reducing their exposure to the threat of violent
  conflict. The tasks help military forces establish a sustained peace by focusing on processes and activities
  fundamental to conflict transformation. In COIN, most efforts focus on identifying and neutralizing
  potential adversaries. For instance, in Iraq from 2003 to 2005, US forces fought a Sunni insurgency
  comprised of many members of the former regime’s security apparatus. The list of essential tasks
  may include—
  • Enforce cease fires.
  • Supervise disengagement of belligerent forces
  • Identify and neutralize potential adversaries.
  • Provide security for negotiations.
  Conduct Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration
  7-6. These tasks are fundamental to establishing stability and lasting peace. It includes physically
  disbanding guerrillas and reintegrating them into society. Other elements do not carry weapons; however,
  they support the guerrilla forces. Their communities and families perceive them as part of the insurgency.
  Together, the tasks of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration reduce a potential resurgence
  of insurgency. These tasks provide a means for these individuals and groups to reenter society
  as contributing members. Some of these tasks could also be used for the demobilization of HN paramilitary
  forces. For more on HN paramilitary forces, see Chapter 8. Essential tasks may include—
  • Negotiate arrangements with insurgents.
  • Establish and enforce weapons control programs, including collection and destruction.
  • Provide reassurances and incentives for disarmed groups.
  • Establish a monitoring program.
  • Ensure adequate health, food, and security for former insurgents.
  • Disarm former insurgents or HN paramilitary forces.
  • Reduce availability of unauthorized weapons.
  • Reintegrate former insurgents and HN paramilitary forces and dislocated civilians into society.
  • Secure, store, and dispose of weapons.
  • Develop HN arms control capacity.
