  8-114. Newly trained units should enter their first combat operation in support of more experienced HN,
  US, or multinational forces. Partner units and advisor teams need to closely monitor the situation
  and support each other and the Host Nation. It is paramount that the Host Nation security force not be
  defeated in the initial stage of their operations. Host nation units can be broken down into smaller elements
  and paired with US forces in order to put a Host National “face” on the operation and provide the Host
  Nation with support and training experience.
  SUMMARY
  A successful COIN effort establishes HN institutions that can sustain government legitimacy. Developing
  effective HN security forces—including military, police, and paramilitary forces—is one of the highest
  priority COIN tasks. Soldiers and Marines can make vital contributions to this mission by training
  and advising the HN security forces. Effective tactical commanders must understand the importance
  of this mission and select the right personnel as trainers and advisors. Using the MORTEAM framework
  may enable tactical leaders to successfully train, mentor and conduct operations with Host Nation security
  force.
