While we didn’t use the term “counterinsurgency,” the Army’s (and Marine Corps’) cyclical interest in the concept dates back all the way to the Civil War and had a huge surge in the Philippines. The CMH has three pretty good studies available, including the two-part “U.S. Army Counterinsurgency and Contingency Operations Doctrine,” pt 1: 1860-1941, and pt 2: 1942-1976.
Well, I checked the Joint Knowledge Inline Courses JKO- and there are 10-15 courses in the Counterinsurgency realm. Any current DoD military, civilian or contractor can go in and take these courses. These courses are updated yearly, and the historical references are outstanding. I am not sure where you are getting your information.
Excellent! As Mark Twain is attributed to have said: "While history doesn't repeat itself, it often rhymes."
