  IDENTIFY, SEPARATE, ISOLATE, INFLUENCE, AND
  REINTEGRATE
  10-25. Identify, separate, isolate, influence, and reintegrate is a method that combines several activities
  that affect relevant population groups. This can be done in both high threat situations and situations where
  the insurgency is at its infancy and combat is less intense. This method works by, with, and through the
  host nation; however, it may have some elements which Soldiers and Marines are directly interacting with a
  local population.
  10-26. Identify, separate, isolate, influence, and reintegrate is a proactive method of addressing root
  causes before a full blown armed insurgency can develop. Its purpose is to identify and separate the
  insurgents from the population. This is a primary requirement for forces conducting counterinsurgency. By
  identifying who is an insurgent and who is not, and then applying resources to separate insurgents from the
  population, commanders and planners can more effectively focus their efforts on making the insurgency
  feel isolated. Insurgents may then believe that their causes for conflict are not supported by the population.
  Once the insurgent leaders and members feel isolated from the population, peaceful efforts can be made to
  influence insurgents to surrender, return, and be reintegrated into society.
  10-27. Commanders conduct a detailed assessment of the insurgent and population networks before
  executing the identify, separate, isolate, influence, and reintegrate method. This assessment guides the
  application of individual means to disassemble the insurgent network. Joint forces and other actors may
  enter the process at many different stages; therefore, assessment is a continuous process used to guide
  decisionmaking throughout operations.
  IDENTIFY
  10-28. The identify, separate, isolate, influence, and reintegrate method is used to divide and conquer the
  insurgency, including all elements of the insurgency listed in chapter 4. The U.S. Marine Corps refers to
  these as identity operations (See Marine Corps order [MCO] 5530.17), while the Army uses identity
  activities. The elements of an insurgency are the leadership (including the political cadre), guerilla units,
  auxiliary forces, and the underground elements. Although all elements of the insurgent network should be
  identified, the main target of the identify, separate, isolate, influence, and reintegrate effort is to identify the
  guerillas and eventually neutralize them, since they are the main source of the violence. Military operations
  should support the host nation in any thorough population screening to identify and eliminate insurgents
  and to identify any lingering insurgent support structures.
  10-29. Operations that support identity activities include—
  * Raids and cordon operations.
  * Base access, checkpoints, and protection of critical sites.
  * Area security operations.
  * Border control and ports of entry.
  * Site exploitation.
  * Population census using biometric data collection devices and mapping the human environment
  and patterns of life
  * Medical capacity and tracking medical records.
  10-30. Tools to support identity activities include—
  * Biometrics and biometrically enabled intelligence collection.
  * Tip lines.
  * Civil records (land documents and registration databases).
  * Reward programs (paying civilians to identify insurgents and their networks).
  * Forensics and forensics-enabled intelligence collection.
  * Document and media exploitation.
