520 _aThis paper traces the political, ideological, and structural changes the leaders of the Islamic State movement made to adapt its approach toward the Sunni tribes of Iraq and later Syria, in order to develop a deeper base of popular support for its caliphate project. Recent U.S. experience in counterinsurgency has imparted on military leaders an appreciation for understanding the social, political, and cultural environment and how this environment may enhance or preclude desired policy outcomes.
