Underkill scalable capabilities for military operations amid populations
Underkill scalable capabilities for military operations amid populations electronic resource David C. Gompert ... - Santa Monica, CA RAND 2009 - 1 PDF-file (xxx, 134 p.) - RAND MG-848 .
The U.S. military is ill-equipped to strike at extremists who hide in populations. Using deadly force against them can harm and alienate the very people whose cooperation U.S. forces are trying to earn. To solve this problem, this compelling new book proposes a "continuum of force"--a suite of capabilities that includes sound, light, lasers, cell phones, and video cameras. These technologies are available but have received insufficient attention.
