• sever local support for outside insurgents (scortched earth policy removes and resources the insurgents can use)
• improve govenrment's ability to protect the group (move them near a road)
• concentration improve government's ability to monitor the group
• relocation assumes the insurgents are embedded in the population
• changing the environment makes it easier to trap internal supporters because they are out of their element
• this could trigger a backlash with the local population
• an admission of failure on the governments part

refugees
