Combat Policing: The Application of Selected Law Enforcement Techniques to Enhance Infantry Operations
Abstract
The widespread adoption of selected civilian law enforcement policing techniques into infantry combat operations will allow Marines in IW to dramatically improve their ability to identify the modern hybrid-threat enemy, who often hides within civilian populations. Identification will limit the ability of the enemy to maneuver and enabling the full kinetic and non-kinetic combat power of the unit to be brought to bear to accomplish the mission. Combat Policing is a system of refined observation and investigation skills used by U.S. combat forces, which is based on a historical body of knowledge drawn from civilian police techniques against gangs in large U.S. cities. It aims to disrupt enemy action by creating a superior understanding of how enemy networks are organized and how they function, to facilitate identification and destruction of the enemy.
