#2 FYI - this is the British "Malaysia" tactic at work. (which I and several others talkrd about years ago here at Rantburg U).

Cordon, clear, secure & stabilize, develop.

Worked like a charm then, same thing going now.

#3 That is how you use the locals to beat a insurgency. Give them something worth losing if they don't fight for it.
