Description: Through the lens of the Multi-National Forces-Iraq Force Strategic Engagement Cell (FSEC), the author illustrates how KLEs (Key Leader Engagements) can be incorporated as targets in the U.S. military's targeting process to counter insurgent organizations. FSEC's mission to reach out to Iraq-based insurgent organizations who sought reconciliation with the Iraqi government was entirely based in KLE-related targeting. This Letort Paper explores how including KLE as "targets" within the targeting process can maximize the utility of the relationships commanders and diplomats alike establish during counterinsurgency and nation-building operations.--
