Counterinsurgency (COIN) is a complex subset of warfare that encompasses all military, paramilitary, political, economic, psychological, and civic actions taken by a government to defeat an insurgency at the company, battalion, and brigade levels. ATP 3-24.2 provides the U.S. Army with a common language, concept, and purpose to fight and achieve success in a COIN. To accomplish this, the manual merges traditional approaches to COIN with the realities of the current operational environment. ATP 3-24.2 replaces FM 3-24.2 (2009, obsolete). ATP 3-24.2 covers doctrinal guidance; techniques; organizational roles and functions; capabilities; limitations; and responsibilities for planning, preparing, executing, and assessing COIN operations.
