Red Elements. Country C. • Objective. Maintain regime control and defeat the insurgency. • Concept. Government forces will attempt to infiltrate and defeat insurgent organizations and can be expected to conduct mass punishment against insurgent supporters. They will support both internal and external terrorist activities. Brown Elements. Transnational terrorist elements. • Objective. Prevent defeat of the Country C regime. • Concept. They can be expected to use surrogates to attack US regional and global targets. Green Elements. Country C insurgent irregular forces. • Objective. Overthrow the Country C government and establish a new government. • Concept. Employ UW to attack Country C security forces and erode political support for the ruling regime. The insurgents can be expected to accept US training and material support and leverage selected US military capabilities. Blue Elements. • Mission. Execute joint and combined operations throughout the area of responsibility to create conditions that assist Country C in establishing a stable government friendly to the US interests in the region. Be prepared to execute stability operations, as requested, to assist the US-backed insurgents and/or reformist government with stabilization of liberated areas. • Objectives. Set the conditions to remove the current Country C regime and ensure transition to self-sufficient civil authority in a stable Country C by: o Defeating the current regime and establish a stable, effective government. o Establishing legitimate, local civil governance throughout the country. o Establishing safe and secure environment and provide essential services, emergency infrastructure reconstruction, and humanitarian relief. o Reforming Country C military, political, and economic institutions. • Intent/Planning Guidance. Purpose. The overall purpose of this operation is to create conditions that assist Country C in establishing a stable, effective government friendly to US and coalition interests in the region. Method. Appendix E E-7
Appendix E • Foment a massive popular movement resulting in a peaceful change of regime through Country C’s political process. • Degrade and disrupt the current regime’s support to internal and external terrorism organizations. • Discredit the current regime and bolster popular domestic and regional discontent with the current regime. • Assist Country C rebels with intelligence, communications, selected IO capabilities, logistics support, and force protection. • Expand the resistance by employing more combat operations if the regime refuses to step down despite a massive popular movement. • After removal of the regime and when requested by the new government, vet, reform, and employ existing Country C military and security forces to provide domestic security and national defense. End State. The end state is a self-sufficient civil authority in a stable Country C that is not hostile to US interests and does not provide support to terrorism. CONOPS. The operation will be conducted in three phases (note: activities within phases may overlap): • Phase I: Assessment and Preparation. Conduct OPE in nations adjacent to Country C to set the conditions for the next phase of UW activities in Country C. UW capability development goals include the creation of a synchronized, overt, clandestine and, if appropriate and authorized, covert network of capabilities sustainable for the duration of the campaign. • Phase II: Operational Employment. Continue coordinated UW activities and begin operations. SOF teams will make contact with indigenous opposition groups and attempt to develop them into an organized resistance force. Cadres are trained and preparations are made to expand and build up the resistance force. Intelligence nets are established or further developed. As the buildup proceeds, the membership of the resistance force is expanded and its activities broadened, to include infiltration or interim procurement of equipment and supplies to support subsequent combat operations. Previously trained cadres continue to recruit and train new members, and additional units are formed. Limited operations are conducted to build confidence in the guerrillas and confuse and harass the Country C government. UW will focus on identifying, training, and equipping resistance elements and assisting in identifying and securing a replacement regime. • Phase III: Stability Operations. After the present Country C regime is deposed and a reformist government declared, US forces will transition to stability operations. E-8
