Subversive War
The subversive war , also called revolutionary war , is doctrines and a theory of combat and repression of paramilitary and civil forces based on the information, and encouraging the use of the Torture.
Genesis of the theory
The subversive war indicates in the beginning the First War of Indo-China of independence of Vietnam, opposing the French military forces to the forces Vietnameses. In spite of the superiority of number of the first and their industrial and military power, the last gained the victory thanks to an active support of the civil population. It is the planetary model and the prototype of the Psychological warfare. The staff of the French forces, under the action of the colonel Lacheroy and after reading of the red book of Mao Zedong, stated the concept of subversive war.
First passage to the practice
The first application of these military doctrines was carried out during the Guerre of Algeria. Vis-a-vis the recrudescence of the attacks of FLN to Algiers, the general Massu then in load of the forces parachutists of the city lives himself to entrust the mission of the police service. The techniques of squaring of the city and the systematic use of torture on the civil population were fully applied during the Bataille of Algiers. Algerian terrorism was then based on autonomous cells made up of civilians of reduced number.
Diffusion of the doctrines
The France appears innovating and proposes a solution to fight against the diffusion of Communism and its perception threatening in the Occident. Very quickly, the theory is taught with the officers of the South American military forces to ENM of Paris. Many a attached diplomatic , for the majority French officers having taken part in the war of Algeria, is sent in the countries of the Latin America to form the contingent troops.The success of the French in this sub-continent very quickly causes the jealousy of the the United States, which receive shortly after number cultural attaches , of which the Aussaresses general, to the Military academy of Americas to the Panama. The passage to the practice is carried out initially on alive prisoners of right common imprisoned to Panama.
Use with large scales
The many coups d'etat in Latin America, in particular in Argentinian, to the Chile, in Uruguay and to the Paraguay gave the opportunity to the officers of the juntas to the capacity to practice with large scales the doctrines of the subversive war. During the Operation Condor, the drives out with the Communisme led to an intense civil purification campaign, and to many always irresolute dispartions. If the death squads the practiced these acts in public in the stages and the streets in Chile, the operations of purifications were carried out in the greatest secrecy in Argentina.France is then in prey with the terror of OAS. The majority of the lieutenants of this paramilitary formation made up ex-officers of the war of Algeria are expatriates in the South American dictatorships to accelerate there the diffusion of the doctrines of the subversive war, under cover of a total immunity. These operations, with the whole approval of the French governments of the time and the participation of the Direction of the monitoring of the territory (DST) and the Head office of the exterior security (DGSE). The application of these doctrines caused several thousands of dead among the populations of Latin America and central, like in Algeria and in other countries.
Principles of the subversive war
The doctrines of the subversive war reside on the information: it is a question of sapping the supports and the contacts of the civil population with the belligerents as a practitioner of intense operations of repression, interrogations and torture to dismantle the active or dormant cells. These doctrines also envisage a squaring of the sectors under control in zones and subfields entrusted to sections, or “ death squads the ”, meetings between staffs and elements and a perfect coordination of the services. Finally these doctrines envisage the discrete elimination of all the suspects, having acknowledged or not, in order to exert a psychological pressure on the civil populations and to force them to stop their support for the belligerents.
