Corralling the Trojan Horse. A Proposal for Improving U.S. Urban Operations Preparedness in the Period 2000-2025
Abstract
The challenges of today's urban operations arise from the vast expanses of man-made structures, the tens of thousands of innocent civilians, and the need to preserve friendly force and noncombatant lives as well as physical infrastructure. Successfully addressing these challenges requires moving away from a reliance on the predominantly firepower-based doctrines of the past. This document provides one such alternative. This research was sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology and was conducted in RAND Arroyo Center's Force Development and Technology Program. The Arroyo Center is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the United States Army. This document will be of interest to individuals in government and commercial sectors whose responsibilities include doctrine, policy design, funding, planning, preparation, or the development of technologies in support of civil or military operations involving urban environments in both the immediate future and longer term.
