Drug Interdiction and Defense of the Strategic Rear: Why Not a Fit?
Abstract
An overview of the national strategy in drug interdiction and the wartime strategy of protection of coastal border areas in the strategic rear is presented. An analysis of the similarities and basic underlying principles appropriate to both strategies follow to complete the background for the author's proposition that the present drug interdiction strategy should be merged into the wartime defense zone concepts. This aggregation of strategies will provide the advantage of performing the peacetime operations similar to the way we will fight in wartime and provide 'shakedown' of our methods of protecting the strategic rear. An analysis of the validity of this combined strategy is provided through the prism of Crowl's questions.
