When acts of terrorism occur within a broader insurgency—an activity that some definitions of terrorism include—counterterrorism efforts may incorporate counterinsurgency measures. In United States military doctrine, such activities are often framed as foreign internal defense, a term referring to programs that assist partner nations in suppressing insurgency, lawlessness, or subversion, and in reducing conditions that could give rise to threats to national security.
