Current Uses
The current U.S. counter-insurgency field manual identifies five different LLOs.
- Combat Operations/Civil Security Operations
- Host Nation Security Forces
- Essential Services
- Governance
- Economic Development
Depending on their appropriateness to the situation, all five should be pursued simultaneously in order to weaken the root causes of insurgency. As many of these tasks exceed the traditional scope of the U.S. military, this concept is tied to the use of Provincial Reconstruction Teams (civilian reconstruction experts embedded with combat troops).
