Galula in Algeria
by Mathias, Gr�egor,

, Title from title screen (viewed on September 14, 2011). | During the Algerian War, in 1956-57, Captain David Galula was ordered to pacify the subdistrict Djebel Aissa Mimoun. Galula's pacification operations in Kabylia were completely forgotten until rediscovered by U.S. general Petraeus. Petraeus and Lieutenant Colonel Nagl consider him "the Clausewitz of counterinsurgency" and speak of his book, Counterinsurgency warfare, as "the greatest book written on unconventional warfare." This work served as the basis for the new counterguerilla doctrine represented by U.S. Field Manual 3-24. Petraeus encouraged officers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan to read Galula's book. Since January 2007, Petraeus has successfully applied Galula's ideas in Iraq and, since October 2008, at U.S. Central Command in the Middle East. To understand Galula's operations, it is necessary to retrace the atypical career of this officer before his time in Algeria and to explain the administrative, geographical, human, and security contexts of Djebel Aissa Mimoun, especially as he was not alone in wanting to resolve the population's problems. In Counterinsurgency warfare, Galula describes a sequence of eight operations necessary to pacify insurgent activity within a region. This study takes up the eight steps and compares them to methods used by Galula at Djebel Aissa Mimoun that are described in his account Pacification in Algeria, his journalism, as well as in the SAS archives and unit histories. Galula also pays a great deal of attention to the media, the importance of whose influence on the French and Algerian population he knew well. It is worthwhile analyzing the manner in which Galula tries to wrong foot the media or use it to his advantage. Galula's time in the Djebel Aissa Mimoun sector lasted a little over a year. Studying the evolution of the sector after his departure reveals how long the effects of his operations lasted.
