Counter-insurgency operations are a messy affair. There are no definite, lines, modes and structures that determine the scope and specificity of scales of operations by the military in dealing with them. Every situation has its own peculiarities and operating environment. Therefore, no same set of rules and methods can be applied in every case, though caution and restraint should be a constant factor in such operations. What needs to be borne in mind is that the overall environments in which these operations are conducted are generally hostile towards the security forces and people's sympathy is invariably with the insurgents.
