Summary, etc. Between 1964 and 1975 with the help of a small group of British military officers, advisors, and trainers the Sultanate of Oman successfully overcame a Marxist insurgency. This paper considers the geographical and political situation in Oman, gives an overview of the insurgents, describes Oman's armed forces and their limitations, the assistance provided by Britain, the importance of using mainly Omani troops, the counterinsurgency campaign, and concludes with an assessment of the British effort. Notes that political development within Oman was the most important factor in the success of the counterinsurgency. Suggests that the experience of Dhofar could prove instructive in today's smaller scale conflicts as part of America's "long war" strategy.
