Understanding the Form, Function, and Logic of Clandestine Cellular Networks: The First Step in Effective Counternetwork Operations

Más información sobre el libro

The book critically examines the shortcomings in U.S. military counternetwork operations post-September 11, 2001, particularly regarding clandestine cellular networks utilized by insurgencies. It argues that targeting key individuals within these networks has proven ineffective due to the resilient nature of such structures. The analysis reveals that removing prominent figures does not significantly disrupt operations, as these networks can tolerate individual losses. The work employs a modified process-trace methodology to deepen the understanding of these networks' dynamics, highlighting crucial errors in current military strategies.
