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.

• To start a task, either join a group if you intend to fly with others, or select Begin Solo Flight.
• Choose Select Tasking from the same menu and pick the one you want.

Please Note: [TRANSPORT HELO TASKS] are made specifically for lift aircraft such as the Mi-8, UH-1H, and UH-60L. You must have at least 1 of those airframes in your group for them to work.

• Once you have selected your tasking, you will be given a short briefing explaining your tasking and goals. You can now work to complete it. Review the tasking at any time by selecting REPLAY TASK DETAILS

Some taskings have radio commands such as Halt/Resume for the convoy escort. These can be found under [TASK COMMANDS] If you need to cancel the tasking, you may do so at any time using the Cancel Tasking option.
