| Abstract

The problem to be addressed by this study was that of the low success rate in counterinsurgency operations and the need to determine if, through the application of risk management, an increase in success rate was possible. The purpose of the study, therefore, was to explore how the application of risk management as a strategy will help to achieve a competitive advantage in counterinsurgency operations of the Nigerian Army. The study was a qualitative case study design that elicited the lived experiences of 17 military commanders of the Nigerian Army operating in the Northeast of the country. The approach involved a combination of data collection methods, such as interviews, review of manuals and journals, and visiting combat zones to understand the participants' own perspectives. The method used had many advantages but particularly, it enabled the researcher to explore the many experiences of the participants who were key figures in counterinsurgency planning in the Nigerian Army. Themes were extrapolated from the data, and from these themes, commonalities and differences were discerned, leading to further analysis of the data using Nvivo 12. The analysis of the interview data showed that risk management was presently not well understood and applied in the Nigerian Army as education constituted a barrier. Further analysis revealed that the use of the risk management process would increase the competitive advantage of the Nigerian Army troops when implemented. When these findings were triangulated with data from other established researches on risk management in military operations, there was a relationship. The main finding from the study was that risk management would give a competitive advantage. It was recommended that the risk management process be taught and implemented in the Nigerian Army counterinsurgency operations.
