military has problems in sorting out all the data available oninsurgency for strategic purposes. To be effective in their strategic plans, themilitary needs a way to ask questions of insurgency information and receiveimmediate responses.The Engineering and Psychology departments at Morgan State University (MSU)in collaboration have developed an Insurgency Information Framework (IIF). AnIIF is a logical structure for organizing, classifying and presenting complexinsurgency information for military decision making. The IIF is developed byanalyzing and modeling the answers to questions such as: 1) How areinsurgencies planned for and what is the process? 2) Does insurgent behaviorprovide any insight into their future plans or actions (i.e., are
