text: Indirect Methods for Countering Insurgencies
  10-55. The effective integration and synchronization of many capabilities, organizations, and functions
  that support the collection, analysis, exploitation and sharing of identity information leads to the
  identification of threat personnel, groups, and networks. These capabilities include biometric data, forensic
  data, document and media exploitation, intelligence, and other information exchanges. Identification of
  personnel allows multinational partners to prevent or mitigate insurgents or counterinsurgents from
  conducting operations among the innocent population. U.S. forces must comply with U.S. Army Forces
  Command predeployment training requirements. These requirements (such as training in personnel
  recovery, mitigation of insider threats, biometrics, languages, and cultural awareness) will further enable
  U.S. forces in a counterinsurgency environment.
  INTEGRATED MONETARY SHAPING OPERATIONS
  10-56. Integrated monetary shaping operations are the use of monetary resources, provided with various
  types of aid (for example, economic, financial, humanitarian, or developmental), involving the voluntary
  transfer of resources (for example, money, equipment, knowledge, or training other than military) from
  U.S. or unified action partners to a host nation, directly or indirectly, for mutual benefit. (See
  ATP 3-07.20/MCRP 3-33.1G for more information on integrated monetary shaping operations.) Integrated
  monetary shaping operations are the coordinated use of money, goods, or services to support the
  commander’s objectives. They are a means to an end. Integrated monetary shaping operations are used to
  attack sources of instability, build partnerships, and provide for economic stabilization and security.
  Integrated monetary shaping operations have two major components:
  * Supporting operations by funding developmental assistance, infrastructure, and governance
  support projects to win the support of an indigenous populace and erode support for the
  adversary.
  * Denying adversaries sanctuary and operational flexibility by hindering their ability to reliably
  fund operations.
  10-57. Integrated monetary shaping operations can be an effective tool to stabilize the security
  environment. However, they can also undermine both the local and national economies. One essential
  consideration of counterinsurgencies is to understand that long-term counterinsurgency efforts have an
  economic impact on the host nation. Additionally, the implementation of funding and projects can have
  negative secondary and tertiary effects. Commanders should recognize decisions over which contractors,
  communities, and individuals are chosen to receive funding could create winners and losers in their area.
  These effects can exacerbate tensions in the area. Finally, a counterinsurgency can last many years, and this
  effort can distort the pricing of goods and services within the local and national economy.
  Counterinsurgents must understand that they can undermine their own efforts by demanding goods in such
  quantities that they fundamentally alters market forces, which results in economic dependence on the
  counterinsurgency. This can result in economic problems that can undermine the host nation’s stability
  when the external counterinsurgent departs.
  10-58. Integrated monetary shaping operations can be effective, but they should be linked into an overall
  development plan. Without that link, the haphazard use of money can be highly destructive to an economy
  because it creates an unsustainable economy once the counterinsurgent leaves. The basic point of integrated
  monetary shaping operations is primarily to be a catalyst for long-term and natural development and only
  secondarily to meet short-term needs or security concerns. Counterinsurgents must understand that
  interactions with the local culture do have far-reaching effects. The host-nation economy is one area where
  counterinsurgents can have both positive and negative effects.
  10-59. Integrated monetary shaping operations can also inform a commander’s situational understanding.
  Property ownership records include census records, deeds, and other means of determining ownership of
  land and buildings. They help counterinsurgents to determine who should or should not be living in a
  specific area and help them secure the population. In some cases, it may be necessary for Soldiers and
  Marines to go door to door and collect census data themselves.
  10-60. Financial records can provide information on sources of insurgent funding. Collection of financial
  records often requires help from agencies like the Department of the Treasury and financial institutions. It
  may require analyzing criminal activities or traditional means of currency transfer.
