Improving Capabilities for Irregular Warfare. Volume 2. Capabilities Analysis

Abstract

The range of actions required of the Blue team in irregular warfare (IW) is broad and diverse, more so than with regular. In support of this study's efforts to explore the nature of IW and US capability shortfalls, this volume maps out the mission landscape, addressing both the missions involved and the capabilities that support those missions. The supporting capabilities listed for each mission are not meant to denote every capability needed for a given mission, but rather those that are unique to, or uniquely applied in IW. The study team from the Institute for Defense Analyses describes in broad term the resulting twenty-three missions.
