САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

The paper discusses the counter-insurgency strategy as a response to the insurgent strategy, which is a form of unconventional warfare. The basic characteristic of modern insurgency is that it rapidly changes and adapts its forms to current conditions. Therefore, it is very important that the counterinsurgency strategy has the ability to quickly and timely adapt to changes and an asymmetric enemy. The basic prerequisite for this is knowledge and understanding of the dynamics, structure and capabilities of an asymmetric enemy.

The paper presents a theoretical contribution through a comprehensive analysis of the success of counterinsurgency strategy implementation in Afghanistan, bearing in mind the fact that mostly counterinsurgency strategies are based on theory. Insurgency is a phenomenon that is experiencing expansion and transformation at the beginning of the 21st century and is very often linked to terrorism as a dominant global threat. Even our country is not immune to the possibility of the emergence and operation of a rebel movement. Afghanistan is certainly an atypical example, but it is certainly possible to transfer certain experiences from the conflict in this country to another geographical area, even to our territory.
