Galula and Trinquier on Insurgency and Counterinsurgency (from a longer paper for Bruce Hoffman's SEST-520 Counterinsurgency class) David Galula and Roger Trinquier: both French officers, both warriors through the Second World War, the French Indochinese War, and the Algerian War for Independence. In 1964, each wrote a manual on the lessons he had learned about the new form of war fought in the last two of these conflicts. Called “revolutionary warfare” by Galula and “modern warfare” by Trinquier, it spanned the spectrum from a Maoist-inspired, mostly rural insurgency in Indochina, to a mixed urban and rural insurgency in Algeria. Each author strived to abstract his experience in order to transform the conventional military and the political establishment and to meet the demands of counterinsurgency warfare and to achieve victory. While the two mostly agreed on definitions and implications, they began to diverge on the question of strategy and tactics. Trinquier tends to focus on the tactical and operational level, and although he acknowledges the importance of politics in counterinsurgency, he tends to address military issues. Galula examines larger strategic issues, and describes both military and political actions that are necessary for a successful counterinsurgency campaign. Yet whatever their differences, both have effective advice for the counterinsurgent, and both of the books should be used in conjunction when planning and preparing for counterinsurgency operations.
