..."...Defining Surrogate Warfare
In his paper Implications of Surrogate Warfare, Major Allan E, Day, USAF, offers one possible definition of surrogate warfare. According to Day, “surrogate warfare is a major operation involving an ad hoc relationship between a nation-state and a surrogate force when that
force takes the place of a joint force component.”
Day caveats this definition by specifying that a surrogate force is only “indigenous and non-national.”
One could argue that this definition, while on its own is quite good, the conditions he applies to the definition are somewhat restrictive.
A surrogate force does not necessarily have to be indigenous, nor does it have to be non-national.
Rather, any force, regardless of whether it is indigenous to an area or not, that conducts an operation on behalf of another is probably a more accurate definition of a surrogate.
Obviously, there are many advantages to having a surrogate force that is indigenous to a region.
They have inherent knowledge of the terrain, people and culture.
They also may lend legitimacy to the operation because they are not viewed as outsiders.
In his essay Surrogate Armies: Redefining the Ground Force, Brian L. Thompson defines a surrogate army as “a military arm that is integrated into the joint force requirements, but is not
specifically a part of the joint force.”
He contends that surrogate armies provide the President and Secretary of Defense a force option if they choose not to use a U.S. military force.
The problem with this definition is that sometimes using a surrogate force is the only option available.

"...While many factors contributed to America’s post-9/11 military struggles, one factor was the expectation of quick victory.
Between underestimating the difficulty of stabilization and refusing to ask for material sacrifice by the public, American leaders were unprepared for a long struggle.
This lack of preparation can serve as a lesson for leaders debating whether to fight future conflicts and preparing for difficult fights if they do." - Assessing the Costs of Expecting Easy Victory – Divergent Options [2]
