A National Military Strategy for Low Intensity Warfare

Abstract

The continuing constraint imposed by the thermonuclear weapons, combined with the Communist strategy of indirect aggression, indicates that the most likely military threat to the United States in the next fifteen years will be low intensity war arising from Communist-generated insurgency in the developing nations. The purpose of this paper is to propose a United States national military strategy to cope with that threat. Conclusions drawn from the analysis of insurgency warfare form the basis of the proposed United States national military strategy to meet the threat of low intensity war.
