  SECURING THE POPULACE
  3-137. To secure the populace, security forces should continuously conduct patrols and use measured
  force against insurgent targets of opportunity. Just like in the hold phase, if the HN security forces are
  inadequate, units should consider hiring a paramilitary force to secure the village or neighborhood. Contact
  with the people is critical to the local counterinsurgency effort’s success. Actions to eliminate the
  remaining covert insurgent support infrastructure, such as the underground, auxiliary, and mass base, must
  be continued, because any insurgent presence will continue to threaten and influence people.
  END STATE
  3-138. During the build phase, Host Nation government representatives reestablish government offices
  and normal administrative procedures. National and international development agencies rebuild
  infrastructure and key facilities. Local leaders are developed and given authority. Life for the area’s
  inhabitants begins the return to normal.
  LINES OF EFFORT
  3-139. Although the build phase continues to secure the population and separate them from the
  insurgents, the focus will shift to the other LOEs. Examples of complimentary actions along multiple LOEs
  include—
  Establish Civil Security
  3-140. Conduct targeted raids on insurgent leaders and the underground, led by HN security forces.
  Provide a US Quick Reaction Force (QRF) to HN security forces.
  Establish Civil Control
  3-141. Continue to patrol the area and control the population while improving HN police training
  and equipment. Police forces may continue to expand their role.
  Support HN Security Forces
  3-142. Increase the number of patrols by HN security forces; US forces begin reducing their roles.
  Support to Governance
  3-143. Continue to support and enhance the local government.
  Restore Essential Services
  3-144. Continue projects to restore SWEAT-MSO services such as building roads, digging wells,
  building schools and establishing emergency services.
  Support to Economic and Infrastructure Development
  3-145. Continue to stimulate the local economy through projects such as market repairs.
  Conduct Information Engagement
  3-146. Information engagements should affirm that security forces supporting the Host Nation
  government are in the area for the long term and are eliminating insurgent leaders, organizations
  and infrastructure and improving essential services.
