【 摘 要 】

The local population is the center of gravity in counterinsurgency, and the first step toward winning the population is to understand it. To acquire more knowledge regarding the lives of the people in Iraq's Anbar Province, once one of the most violent areas in the country, RAND carried out surveys of living conditions in the province in 2008 and 2009, conducting face-to-face interviews with a random sample of 1,200 heads of Anbari households. This report summarizes the findings of the May–June 2009 survey.
