MOUT Doctrine and the Third World Threat in 2005-2010: Will It Work

Abstract

This monograph addresses the critical window of vulnerability for U.S. forces operating in a MOUT environment of the Third World during 2005-2010. Current MOUT doctrine does not adequately address an opponent using asymmetrical tactics with advanced technologies nor the sprawl of the urban environment in which they operate. Ongoing experimentation with MOUT technology is focused on an extant threat and does not look beyond the next two or three years. Joint Venture 2010 Doctrine and Technology is focused on 2010 and beyond.
