"This paper was written for an ongoing project entitled "An Army for Full Spectrum Operations: Lessons from Irregular Wars." The project aims to assess recent "irregular" and "hybrid" conflicts and their implications for U.S. Army force mix and capabilities, and the forces that support or operate with ground forces. The paper summarizes the research still in progress and is meant to provide perspectives on initial insights from the hybrid warfare experiences of the Israel Defense Forces in Lebanon and Gaza. Insights from those operations could be informative as the structure and capabilities for forces facing hybrid threats are debated."--P. iii.
