Goalie Without A Mask? The Effect Of The Anti- Personnel Landmine Ban On U. S. Army Countermobility Operations
Abstract
This monograph examines whether the United States' unilateral ban on conventional anti-personnel mines will significantly impair the effectiveness of U.S. Army countermobility operation. Land mines and mine warfare play critical roles in US countermobility doctrine, and the loss of one entire category of mines could constrain the Army's ability to successfully perform countermobility missions. The prospect of such failure is alarming since successful mine warfare has often been the difference between life and death for hard pressed defenders. This monograph attempts to anticipate both the nature and severity of such consequences.
