    http://irregular-threats.usefedora.com/

  • Intro: 

    Irregular Threats is an advanced level, non-classified, online, course-ware set that provides accurate information about the vast array of irregular threats that our society is faced with today. Terrorism is of course the number one issue, but with terrorism sometimes insurgency, instability, unconventional warfare, corruption, and crime accompanying terrorism.

     

    Indirect approaches, as compared to direct approaches, are the best means to mitigate irregular threats. Indirect activities include stability operations, foreign internal defense (FID), counterinsurgency (COIN), counter-terrorism (CT), counter threat financing, and counter unconventional warfare (C-UW). Indirect approaches are more effective and last longer. Direct approaches are forceful or kinetic approaches.
