This showed up in my email today, thought some here may be interested. http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/ArtOfWarPapers_OperationsAtTheBorder.pdf CSI has just published a new book, "Operations at the Border" by Eric Hunter Haas, as a new edition of the Art of War Papers series. Disrupting an insurgent’s access to sanctuary and safe-haven is a critical aspect of operational planning for counterinsurgent forces. By denying an insurgent’s access to safe-havens early in the conflict, the counterinsurgent will gain a marked advantage over the initially weaker force. Through the examination of the British experience in the North-West Frontier, 1849-1947 and the counterinsurgent efforts in the Sultanate of Oman’s Dhofar Rebellion, 1962-1975, one can develop techniques for applying border control operations to disrupt insurgent safe-havens.
