Warfighters at brigade, battalion, and company level in a counterinsurgency (COIN) environment employ money as a weapons system to win the hearts and minds of the indigenous population to facilitate defeating the insurgents. Money is one of the primary weapons used by warfighters to achieve successful mission results in COIN and humanitarian operations. This handbook provides a synopsis of types of money that may be available to fund warfighters at brigade level and below and information on managing and using funds. It is a user’s guide. Current funding information is available from the resource manager supporting operations. Leaders who work directly with local leaders and governmental entities (including coalition government agencies) should meet with their supporting resource manager to become aware of all funding sources available to maximize their use to achieve the coalition’s COIN goals.
