This manual is about IEW support to LIC operations. The purpose of this chapter is to provide framework for the subsequent discussion of how IEW supports LIC in each of the four operational categories: support for insurgency and counterinsurgency, combatting terrorism, peacekeeping operations (PKO), and peacetime contingency operations (PCO). This chapter also defines LIC, describes the LIC environment and its critical elements, the operational continuum, and the LIC imperatives. The level of detail is structured to assist you in understanding the doctrine and TTP described in this manual. For more information on military operations in LIC, see FM 100-20. DEFINITION LIC is a political-military confrontation between contending states or groups below conventional war and above the routine, peaceful competition among states.
