Philippine Insurrection and Operation Iraqi Freedom

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the U.S. counter-insurgency operations in the Philippine Insurrection (1898-1902) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003 -Present). The military operations, problem sets, and style of warfare encountered during Operation Iraqi Freedom are not new. In fact, the American Soldier has faced these same elements and obstacles in many previous conflicts to include the conflicts in Vietnam, Korea and the Philippines.
