Small Wars & Insurgencies Vol 17 No 4, December 2006, pp.399-420 (97)Summary: History teaches that a successful counterinsurgency campaign requires a combination of police, administrative, economic and military measures as well as high levels of civil military cooperation. Military action alone does not work. In formulating its Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) doctrine in the 1990s NATO is founded on conventional war-fighting and outdated peacekeeping. This article argues that CIMIC is therefore unfit for the main operational challenges currently facing the Alliance.
