MOBILITY FOR COUNTERINSURGENCY WARFARE IN THAILAND

Abstract

The intent of this paper is to establish an appreciation of the surface mobility requirements for counterinsurgency operations in the environment of Thailand expressed in the form of vehicle characteristics. These characteristics are derived primarily from the results of four years of field tests conducted as a part of the Mobility Program sponsored jointly by the Office of the Secretary of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Thailand's Military Research and Development Center. Communist activities in Thailand and the role of the counterinsurgent forces are also included for consideration from the standpoint of operational requirements.
