COUNTER INSURGENCY

Counter insurgency (COIN) operations refer to military, paramilitary, political, economic, psychological, and civic actions taken by a government to defeat insurgency. Insurgency is a form of armed rebellion against an established authority, often characterized by guerrilla tactics and aiming to weaken and destabilize the government. COIN operations are complex and multifaceted, involving not just combat operations, but also efforts to win the “hearts and minds” of the local population. This includes building local governance structures, providing services, and improving economic conditions, all aimed at reducing the appeal of the insurgent cause.
The strategic focus of COIN is typically on the population rather than the enemy, seeking to isolate insurgents from their base of support which involves both direct and indirect methods to address the root causes of the insurgency, and foster stability and security.

The COIN Ops system at BSD is a mission generator that is designed to handle single pilots, as well as up to 4 groups of multiple pilots, with no limit to how many pilots can be in a single group. The system tracks pilots aircraft, the state of the pilot/group, and the ongoing task. It has automatic resume functions to keep your tasking active if you crash your aircraft or your game crashes to desktop, and has automated cleanup functions for taskings that have been abandoned for more than 15 minutes.
To access the COIN Ops system, you must be in an aircraft eligible for the taskings. This may vary based on server/location, so be sure to review the server specific briefing to find out where you can spawn to use this system. You can find all the control in your radio menu under F10 (Other) > COIN Dispatcher
