In order to control the role of military forces in making the elements of efforts put by civilian and military inputs so that the root cause of insurgency can be assessed, there is structuring of counterinsurgency which is also called as COIN. By using such kind of non-military means, there has been effective utilization of existing elements for playing the appropriate role of the forces. The undertaking by
COIN was not effective in the sense that it is quite complex to provide the specialized feature of the economy in a sequential format. The demand of the makers of the comprehensive policy is to provide the broad base knowledge for establishing the disciplinary features of the society. The adaptability of the movement under COIN primarily focuses over the streamlining of the population needs and requirements. That is why; it mainly provides the understanding of the activities for the provision of the specialist in the field of defense and adequacy of disciplinary forms.
