  SUMMARY
  The seven counterinsurgency lines of effort (LOEs), establish civil security, establish civil control, support
  Host Nation security forces, support to governance, restore essential services, and support to economic
  and infrastructure development are critical to the success of any stability consideration during a
  counterinsurgency operation. Ultimate success in any counterinsurgency operation requires a
  combination of military and nonmilitary efforts. As President Bush stated in 2007 in reference
  to operations in Iraq:
  “A successful strategy for Iraq goes beyond military operations. Ordinary Iraqi citizens must see that
  military operations are accompanied by visible improvements in their neighborhoods and communities.”
  Stability operations during a counterinsurgency seek to bring about those community improvements
  and create a safe, secure, and productive environment for the populace.
