The first stage for counterinsurgency is to "stop the bleeding" which means do what's needed to protect the population. The second stage is to get things stabilized and the final stage is to implement stability operations across contested regions so they can become self-sufficient.

The focus of counterinsurgency (COIN) operations generally progresses through three stages. Which stage tries to achieve stability with efforts aimed at assisting the patient through long-term recovery or restoration of health?

Counterinsurgency in Northern Afghanistan happened in 2011.
The three stages in the focus of counterinsurgency are: 1) Security - establishing a stable environment by protecting the population and countering insurgent threats; 2) Political - promoting effective governance and addressing the grievances that fuel insurgency to gain the support of the local populace; and 3) Economic Development - fostering economic growth and providing essential services to create conditions that undermine insurgent influence and build resilience in communities. These stages work together to achieve long-term stability and reduce the appeal of insurgent movements.
Basically fighting against a rebellion.
The stage of counterinsurgency (COIN) operations that focuses on protecting the population and breaking the insurgents' initiative and momentum is often referred to as the "clear" phase. In this stage, military forces work to secure areas, establish a presence, and ensure the safety of civilians, thereby undermining the insurgents' influence and support. By prioritizing population protection, COIN aims to create a secure environment that allows for subsequent stages of stability and governance to take root.
The operational theme that is comprised of the principle activities of insurgency, counterinsurgency, and unconventional warfare is irregular warfare.
