| Summary |
"The 2018 U.S. National Defense Strategy made headlines by officially downgrading terrorism as a national security priority in favor of 'inter-state strategic competition.' Many interpreted the statement as signifying a return to 'conventional combat,' yet a closer reading suggests that even state-based competition is likely to be 'irregular.'...The United Sates, and the West, struggle to understand and respond to irregular warfare, whether by states or nonstate actors. Attempts to master the art have generated much new jargon, ranging from 'hybrid war' to 'the gray zone,' and most recently 'integrated deterrence.' The terminology belies a struggle to overcome entrenched presumptions about war--a confusion that generates cognitive friction with implications for strategy. To inform a better approach, this monograph presents an analytical framework to assess and respond to irregular threats"--Page 3 |
