Effective Utilization of Indigenous Forces in Irregular Warfare
Abstract
As global conflicts grow ever increasingly complex, nations involved find themselves expending increasing amounts of national blood and treasure to attain strategic goals. The use of indigenous forces to augment an intervening nations forces is a viable option especially when conducting irregular warfare. Training, equipping, and advising indigenous forces with a small team of advisors can make an effective force through which national strategic objectives are obtained while maintaining a small footprint and reducing the financial cost and risk of increased casualties for the intervening nation.
