OK, forgive us for the bad video quality, but you can SEE what's going on.
One of the things the British Army has learned the hard way (losing an empire) and Americans have not--is that in Sub-National Conflicts (SNCs) that are taking place non-linearly inside nation-states you first have to SEAL THE LEAKS and stop outside interference by creating a LINE at the border that works. The French realized this in Algeria after their failure in IndoChina; creating the famous Morice Line. Failure to CONTROL THE TERRAIN is still the main lesson from Vietnam that the U.S. full of light and heavy egomaniac gunslingers bent on peer/self-validating firefights do not get--in SNCs the goal is to SMOTHER VIOLENCE with COMBAT ENGINEERING. Walls work. Cool off a generation and make the people pursue civilian lives not fun gun-toting an AK47 (AKM) or button-pushing command detonated land mines.

Do not let the enemy inhabit the non-linear battlefield (NLB) AKA--public areas subject to attacks--to lay land mines and make more rebels in the first place.
One of the whines the weak ego types will use--and this is not a debating point--is that "boo hoo! its too hard to patrol all those border fencelines!" as the whining USMC back-stabbed the entire Vietnam war effort by refusing to build the McNamara DMZ line because they wanted to M16 vs AK47/RPG gun play the NVA. They got their wish all right, their asses kicked surrounded at Khe Sanh and they had to be pulled out---not just from there--but Vietnam in general as fast as possible by 1970 because they were suffering too many casualties playing right into the enemy's hands of bleeding us. Read Sheehan's "A Bright Shining Lie". As non-adaptive narcissists, the USM continually wants-to- do-what-it-wants-to-do instead of what is required by reality and whenever these life-snobs mix it up with impoverished local civilians, inevitably their "zippos" came out to burn down villages in angry retaliation for what some long-gone rebels had done to bleed them--long before Calley's My Lai in 1970. Watch CBS Morely Safer's video of marines burning huts in 1965. Switch zippo to uncontrolled, too fast, fighter-bomber "air strike" and you have today's weak ego man over-reacting to rebel hit & run attacks that kills innocent civilians and makes--MORE REBELS! Publish a COIN manual FM 3-24 isn't going to do squat if you lack observation/attack fixed-wing aircraft, fences/walls, ie the MEANS to prevail in SNCs because lazy, smug racketeers think their linear nation-state war big platform, budgetary cash cows can get by doing things they are not designed to do; which is use maneuver & firepower discriminately in CLOSED TERRAINS

Another practice shunned by the selfish egomaniac is a logical help for security patrols as well as solving the Soldier's load--which takes HUMILITY to admit that we are not supermen---is BICYCLES.

The bicycle gives mobility to the infantrymen so he can cover more ground, faster to swarm against invaders of the security fence/wall so we can economize our forces elsewhere so we have quick-reaction air-mech-strike forces (QRFs) able to move to where the troubles are away from the line(s) we are holding.
