This Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) handbook assists company, battalion, and brigade-level officers and noncommissioned officers to effectively use money as a weapons system on the counterinsurgency (COIN) battlefield. Coalition money is defeating COIN targets without creating collateral damage, by motivating antigovernment forces to cease lethal and nonlethal operations, by creating and providing jobs along with other forms of financial assistance to the indigenous population, and by restoring or creating vital infrastructure. Money also funds other tools of war. Key lessons: Money is a valuable weapons system. Money and contracting in a COIN environment are vital elements of combat power. Leaders must leverage money and contracting in operations. Leaders must understand funding programs and contracting. Brigades often lack internal resource management expertise and knowledge of funding.
