Adding to speculation about US involvement in calling the shots in post-regime change Ukraine, Germany’s Bild newspaper is reporting dozens of FBI and CIA agents on the ground in the capital of Kiev “advising” the government.
The move was initially presented as focusing on organized crime, with the FBI team sent specifically to track down ousted President Viktor Yanukovych’s hidden accounts. Now, however, they are said to also be advising them on the ongoing offensive against eastern protesters.
That would explain why the Obama Administration has been so unabashedly supportive of the eastern offensive as a “law and order” measure, though the reports are quick to insist that the agents are not “directly involved” in the fighting.
These are not the first reports of US involvement in the Ukraine interim government, and rumors began circulating almost immediately after the takeover of Blackwater troops on the ground in Ukraine, while CIA head John Brennan’s high profile visit only added to the speculation.
The FBI is supposed to investigate US domestic criminal activity, not be involved in foreign intrigues which has, until now, been the province of the CIA. Perhaps the CIA needs FBI's extensive experience in framing gullible and feeble minded individuals as terrorists after supplying them with bombs, weapons, and plans for destruction.

Summary
US Army Field Manual FM 31-20-3, Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and Procedures for Special Forces; 2004 edition. Made US Army doctrine (policy) on 20 September 1994; 219 printed pages. Written at the sensitive but unclassified level.
This sensitive US military counterinsurgency manual could be critically described as "What we learned about running death squads and propping up corrupt government in Latin America and how to apply it to other places". Its contents are both history defining for Latin America and, given the continued role of US Special Forces in the suppression of insurgencies and guerilla movements world wide, history making.
The document, which is official US Special Forces policy, directly advocates training paramilitaries, pervasive surveillance, censorship, press control, restrictions on labor unions & political parties, suspending habeas corpus, warrantless searches, detainment without charge, bribery, employing terrorists, false flag operations, concealing human rights abuses from journalists, and extensive use of "psychological operations" (propaganda) to make these and other "population & resource control" measures palatable.
Verified by Wikileaks editorial board. Since the manual is US Army doctrine there are also public references to the title and tables of content elsewhere.
The 1994 version of this document is available, perhaps by mistake, on the Leaven Worth Army site: http://calldp.leavenworth.army.mil/mhi/2005051007…
The 2007 version of this document (renamed to FM 3-05.202, Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Operations): http://www.army.mil/usapa/doctrine/31_Series_Coll… (needs US Army username/password for access). Of additional interest is TC 31-73 SPECIAL FORCES ADVISOR GUIDE (2008, also restricted).
Selected extracts follow. Note that the manual is 219 pages and contains substantial material throughout. These extracts should merely be considered representative.
This is not a new tacit. There were CIA officers and US military "peace Keepers" in Vietnam several years before our the war that never was. I call it that because the US government claimed we were not having a war. It was termed police action.
History will prove that the CIA worked to destabilize the region when France was losing control over the whole area and communists were standing by to move in and take over. Its been the trend for a lot longer than 1994.

The summary makes it plain that it predates 1994. The manual itself references FID in South Vietnam. BTW, the word is "tactic," and in any case FID is an operational concept, not a tactical one. Torching a building and murdering 40 people is a tactical concept.
Thanks for the info above, though it's rather depressing to see what they've been doing with our tax money. I wonder how many people it took to put together the "What we learned about running death squads and propping up corrupt government in Latin America and how to apply it to other places" manual, and what their pay grades were. Worse yet to contemplate is how many more similar manuals exist that we don't know about.
A corrupt government is sending a corrupt agency to teach another corrupt government how to find and avoid corruption.
From another pov, fascists are sending fascists to teach fascists how to be better fascists.
Does anyone else think that they're all insane? …or is it just me?
Well said, Warren.
Another fitting word is, evil.
So, an evil country sends evil people to teach other evil people to be more evil against their own citizens.

Advising or inciting ?
as Lehmann said:
“…….the US and UK would not hesitate in creating a new European war if the situation ever arose that Europe and Russia, then the USSR, were to develop close relations.”
The Russians, having exhausted peaceful options for keeping Ukraine from becoming a NATO member and staging ground, will likely turn the FedGov's Syria strategy back on it and use partisan warfare to keep Eastern Ukraine destabilized. The Russian population there will become a military border, modeled on the Cossacks. Eventually, the Russians will move to destabilize Western Ukraine, so that the FedGov/NATO/EU will be forced to dump endless sums of money into propping up the regime in Kiev. The FedGov clearly anticipates this, thus the implementation of a "foreign internal defense" effort (see my post above for more on that), as signaled by the visits of CIA Director Brennan and Vice President Biden. This is merely reactive, however; the FedGov was not expecting to acquire its own failed state. Therefore, NATO will seek to create new crises, trying to keep the strategic initiative. If the Russians manage these crises well, they could also become running ulcers for the FedGov. Putin and his advisors clearly recognize the financial Achilles Heel of the FedGov, and seek to exploit it with indirect warfare waged by partisans, coupled with an accelerated withdrawal from the dollar reserve currency system.

The Russian population there will become a military border, modeled on the Cossacks. In fact, it is highly likely that they have always been regarded as such since 1991 – hence the weapons and equipment so readily available.

The Russians, moreover, have an excellent incentive to cut off the natural gas to Europe this autumn: freezing Europeans will not be so willing to be used as pawns by the FedGov, and even if are willing, their capabilities will be severely degraded.
It would be simpler for Russia just to join NATO! It is already a member of the Partnership for Peace, as is Ukraine, and it tried to become a full member some years ago. The European members were all in favour but the US vetoed it, which, of course, is where the present problem all began. If Russia objects to a NATO which excludes it, then the obvious, common sense solution is to let Russia join.
If slavery is your cup of tea, then drink up, dude.
'Advising' they call it. If they don't take the 'advice' then the assassination teams go to work.
Nothing surprising in this. The Ukrainains want NATO to defend them and the US dominates NATO.
Of course this is Bild, which is often making random salacious stuff up to , err…"help sales". But it certainly is in the domain of the "rather possible".
America`s policy is to destabilize everything and everyone even if they cause the deaths of millions.
