This monograph is the final supplement to a special series stemming from a major conference entitled "Implementing Plan Colombia: Strategic and Operational Imperatives." The Dante B. Fascell North-South Center of the University of Miami and the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College cosponsored the conference. The conference clarified issues relating to Plan Colombia, focused the debate, and provided a forum for mutual learning. In this monograph, the author outlines the history of U.S. counterinsurgency policy and the recommendations made by U.S. Special Survey Teams in Colombia from 1958-66. The monograph comes at a time when the United States seriously is considering broadening its policy toward Colombia and addressing Colombia's continuing internal war in a global and regional context. Thus, this report provides a point of departure from which policymakers in the United States and Colombia can review where we have been, where we are, and where we need to go.
