Pakistan Defence's Counterinsurgency Expert Irfan Baloch has gained special access to an SSG operator to talk in detail about the battlefield application and utility of Pakistan's COIN doctrine, in regards to the ongoing COIN effort against various asymmetric threats facing Pakistan today. This effort has taken months to put together so please let us know if you liked the interview. We would be pleased to answer any queries.

Incase anyone wondering, This was the Op which is being discussed in interview

Pakistani military kills local Taliban leader, captures al Qaeda bomb expert

By BILL ROGGIOJune 28, 2014

The Pakistani military said it killed the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan's commander for the town of Miramshah in North Waziristan and captured an al Qaeda explosives expert during its ongoing offensive in the tribal agency.

The Inter-Services Public Relations, the Pakistani military's public affairs branch, claimed that the "TTP [Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan or Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan] commander of Miramshah, Commander Umer has been killed by security forces last night on the outskirts of Miranshah."

The Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan has not announced the death of its commander in Miramshah. An email sent to the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan's media department has not been answered at this time.

Additionally, security forces claimed to have captured "one prominent al Qaeda commander" who was "trying to flee from surrounded area in NWA [North Waziristan Agency]." The Pakistani military identified him as "an explosive, IED, [and] suicide belt expert," but did not name him.

I was respectful not to probe more than needed and not to record the interview also avoided any sensitive questions like base locations, flight times .. tribe names that helped us etc.
