Using BATs, CATs, and RATs to Defeat Transnational Terrorist and Control Ungoverned Space (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288328840)

The Department of Defense must establish specially trained and selected advisory teams that immerse themselves in the country for 2-3 years, and who work at the regional, country and unit level, provide the cultural understanding and regional coordination that is required to defeat transnational terrorist and control ungoverned space. Many countries around the world lack the resources and experience to control all of their territory and protect its society from subversion, lawlessness, and insurgency. Transnational terrorists capitalize on this weakness and use these ungoverned spaces as sanctuary from which to launch attacks. Poor regional coordination between nations and even within the U.S. interagency hinders efforts to defeat the terrorist and control ungoverned space. Military operations in Malaya, Vietnam, El Salvador have demonstrated the need for a coordinated regional counterinsurgency approach along with the need to understand the nation's language and culture.
