Primes

• Reaction-Channel Back-Action
  • Counter-insurgency — civilian casualties feed insurgent recruitment and erode consent, metabolizing through recruitment and political-consent channels into force-protection cost.

    This sourceFoundational statement of population-centric counterinsurgency, in which civilian harm erodes the consent and recruitment base the counterinsurgent depends on, returning as operational cost.

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    Galula supports the population-centric frame (antagonizing civilians undermines the counterinsurgent) but never ties civilian casualties to insurgent recruitment or force-protection cost.

    “Since antagonizing the population will not help, it is imperative that hardships for it and rash actions on the part of the forces be kept to a minimum.”

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

• Sanctuary Effect
  • In counterinsurgency and conventional war it appears as cross-border safe havens from which insurgents recover capability between operations; sanctuary denial is treated as a structural prerequisite for elimination rather than mere containment.

    This sourceArgues that denying the insurgent external sanctuary and a secure base is a structural prerequisite for defeating, not merely containing, an insurgency.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's ISBN resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
