KW  - COUNTERINSURGENCY
N2  - The US has long faced problems fighting insurgencies, many of the problems concern the performance of local allies, who typically play a leading role in the counterinsurgency effort. This paer considers the problems common to security forces of allies who have or may soon be involved in dealing with Al-Qaeda. The problems are said to stem from deep structural weaknesses such as perceived regime illegitimacy, poor civil military relations, undeveloped economies, and discriminatory societies. Together these can severely hamper counterinsurgency program effectiveness
