Author Description

A capstone reference guide, this is the official study of the motivations and behaviors of contemporary terrorists of both domestic and foreign origin, of terrorist goals and objectives, and of terrorist tactics, techniques, and procedures. It describes the scope of the terrorism problem facing the United States, explores the face of terrorism today, discusses the types of organizational models terrorist groups utilize, and extrapolates future trends in terrorism. An intelligence support document that, while openly available for public consumption, is typically ignored by even engaged citizens, this will fascinate and enlighten readers interested in the armed forces, global geopolitics, and modern asymmetrical warfare. The U.S. ARMY TRAINING AND DOCTRINE COMMAND, also known as TRADOC, was founded in 1973, to train the soldiers and civilian leaders of the U.S. Army, to develop operational policy, and to anticipate future operational needs of the Army.
