    10. Vulnerable population. For whatever the reasons — social, political, or economic the population is generally open to change. The insurgents will offer hope for change and exploit dissatisfaction with the current government. Leadership available for direction. A vulnerable population alone will “not support an insurgent movement. There must be a leadership element that can direct the frustrations of a dissatisfied populace along the lines delineated by the overall insurgent strategy. 3) Lack of government control. Lack of government control may be real or perceived. The greater the control the government has over the situation, the less likely are the chances for insurgent success The opposite is also true: the less control the government has, the greater is the chance for insurgent success Popular support. Support can be passive or active. It is not necessary that the entire population actively support an insurgency, but the majority of the population must passively support it. Unity of effort. The overall thrust of an insurgent movement must provide a strength of unity that dedicates those involved to achieving the same goal. Will to resist. It is not enough for the population to resist their government passively; at least a portion must be willing to resist actively. Leadership. The activities and effort of the insurgent movement must be properly directed through the exercise of effective leadership. Discipline. The aspect of the movement must be strongly maintained to ensure security and obedience. Vulnerable population.

    11. Insurgents: gain and maintain active and passive support from the population by addressing and/or exploiting the root causes. Example: If the Vulnerability is lack of jobs the insurgents can bribe and pay for support; if the Government is ineffective in providing security and rule of law the insurgents can kill, kidnap, and threaten the population to maintain support. Population: Root Causes are vacuums that predate the insurgency and Prerequisites and lay markers or paths for insurgents and counterinsurgents to fill this vacuum. Example of Root Causes predating the Prerequisites: Lack of Leadership predate the insurgents Leadership for Direction Counterinsurgents: use the root causes to identify where the insurgents are (even if no activity) such as safehouses, underground elements, leaders, caches, smuggling routes, transfer stations for foreign fighters and resources. Root causes mark locations where insurgents may (are able to) migrate or form – “anticipate and cover the other holes before the mole is whacked”, where to prioritize resources, and site selection for combat outposts.Insurgents: gain and maintain active and passive support from the population by addressing and/or exploiting the root causes.

    20. "We do even more than what the government should do," said Fartoosi, 21, as he recalled the eight grueling hours after a barrage of car bombs, mortars and missiles killed more than 200 people in Baghdad's Shiite heartland. The militiamen were heroes that day, Sadr City residents said in interviews. They did everything that Iraq's fragile unity government did not, or could not, do. In the days since, their actions have boosted Sadr's popularity and emboldened him.
