text: Support to Host Nation Security Forces
  8-59. Partner units might have to provide limited support or supplies to their Host Nation unit. For
  example, a unit might provide its HN unit JP-8 or Class VIII, or it might help recover a disabled tank.
  It should never create a reliance on partner unit support. The commander allocates partner support,
  considering the realities of the situation.
  8-60. HN security force staffs, when fully capable, should be able to achieve the following:
  Operations
  8-61. Plans are synchronized with consideration given to all Warfighting Functions. They are
  disseminated to appropriate personnel in a timely manner and operate within a short-, mid-, and long-term
  framework.
  Intelligence
  8-62. Intelligence is shared with other units and agencies. It is fully integrated into the planning process,
  is bottom fed, and uses multiple sensors.
  Sustainment
  8-63. Units have synchronized methods for requesting supplies and sustainment assets. Planners
  account for logistical capabilities during the planning process.
  Command and Control
  8-64. The command structure is unified. Leaders empower subordinate leaders within the commander’s
  intent. Commanders visualize, describe, and direct their units.
  Soldiers
  8-65. Training can be divided into individual, unit, and staff training.
  Individual
  8-66. Individual skills training covers marksmanship, first aid, land navigation, and individual
  movement techniques. Host nation security forces do not always have the institutional military instruction
  that US forces have, so much of the individual skills training occurs at the unit. Marksmanship will be
  of particular concern, due to the need for precise fires in COIN.
  Unit
  8-67. Unit training is focused on getting Host Nation battalions, companies, platoons, and squads ready
  to conduct operations. This typically means training focused on three key tasks: checkpoint operations,
  combat patrols (mounted and dismounted), and cordon and search operations.
  Staff
  8-68. Staff training involves training staffs to use and implement systems focused on planning, logistical
  support, intelligence integration, and command and control.
  Police
  8-69. Police training is best conducted as an interagency and multinational operation. Ideally, leaders
  for police training are civilian police officers from the Departments of Justice and State, along with senior
  police officers from multinational partners. Civilian police forces have personnel with extensive experience
  in large city operations and in operating against organized crime groups. Experience countering organized
  crime is especially relevant to COIN; many insurgent groups are more similar to organized crime in their
  organizational structure and relations with the populace than they are to military units. US military police
  units serve best when operating as a support force for the professional civilian police trainers. However,
  military police units may be assigned the primary responsibility for police training, and they must be
  prepared to assume that role if required.
