Formulating prevention strategies in countering armed security operations

 Most security experts consider various dimensions, including political, economic, social, and military, for national security, while a few have gone beyond the national domain to address collective and shared security and international security. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of achieving preventive strategies to counter armed security operations by utilizing the experiences of commanders and officials. The main research question is: What are the preventive strategies to counter armed security operations using the experiences of commanders and officials? Data were collected through library studies and reviewing upstream national documents, using note-taking tools, and analyzed via qualitative content analysis. Fifteen interviews from previous research conducted by other researchers were gathered up to the point of data saturation and analyzed using qualitative content analysis, leading to conclusions. Five preventive strategies for countering armed security operations, based on the experiences of commanders and officials, were identified.
