Kyle TalbotVIRIN: 160903-M-ZX256-014 Joint Publication (JP) 3-24, Counterinsurgency, provides joint doctrine to plan, execute, and assess counterinsurgency operations. JP 3-24 defines counterinsurgency (COIN) as “comprehensive civilian and military efforts designed to simultaneously defeat and contain insurgency and address its root causes.” Accordingly, JP 3-24 provides the joint force with authoritative doctrine relative to counterinsurgency by discussing approaches to it, describing the nature of an insurgency, discussing COIN tenets, providing considerations for COIN planning, describing the COIN operational environment, and discussing aspects for the conduct of an assessment.The Joint Staff director, Joint Force Development J7, signed a revised JP 3-24 on April 25, 2018. JP 3-24 is a priority joint publication supporting joint force requirements relative to COIN operations and in support of threats identified in the National Defense Strategy and National Military Strategy.The revision was informed by a formal assessment conducted in September 2016 by the Joint Staff J7 Joint Doctrine Analysis Division in Suffolk, Virginia. The assessment represents an analysis of comments received from the Services, combatant commands, Joint Staff directorates, and combat support agencies; search results from joint operations and exercises; lessons learned; and other databases. Many of the changes made to JP 3-24 ensure the publication contains the most current figures, terms, definitions, and references based on changes to other JPs in the joint doctrine library since approval of the 2013 version of JP 3-24. Overall, changes to this revision of JP 3-24:Changes to JP 3-24 are found in each chapter, but the preponderance and most significant changes are found in chapter VII, “Counterinsurgency Operations,” and appendix C, “Counterinsurgency Practices.” Chapter VII has been rewritten, broken into two sections, and includes 12 new paragraphs, many of them information-related that provide additional context for counterinsurgency operations. Significant changes include:JP 3-24 provides current, authoritative doctrine for the joint force conducting COIN operations. It is a more information-enabled JP 3-24, providing joint force commanders and their component commanders with joint doctrine to plan, execute, and assess COIN operations.The revised version of JP 3-24 is available at <>.
