Opprørsbekjempelse

Opprørsbekjempelse (engelsk counterinsurgency, COIN) er definert av USAs utenriksdepartement som "omfattende sivil og militær innsats mot insurreksjon eller opprør - i den hensikt å slå ned opprøret samtidig som man retter fokus mot opprørets årsak eller røtter.

En Insurreksjon er et opprør mot en konstitusjonell myndighet, og de som tar del i opprøret er ikke anerkjente som krigførende parter. 
Det er organisert bruk av subversjon og vold i den hensikt å overta, hindre eller utfordre politisk kontroll av et område.

"De tre pilarene i Kontrainsurreksjon", Dr. David Kilcullen, Sjefstrategist og koordinator for kontraterrorisme i U.S. State Department i 2006, beskrevet som et rammeverk for tverrfaglig samarbeid i Kontrainsurreksjonoperasjoner. Stolpene – Sikkerhet, Politisk og Økonomisk – støtte - overordnede mål for kontroll, men basert på sikker informasjon.
