| Summary |
"Today's strategic environment implies an obligation to preserve innocent life when possible and to rebuild that which war destroys. Urban areas are the keys to nations; people make nations just as, as Thucydides wrote, men make cities. Ongoing operations in the villages, towns, and cities of Afghanistan and Iraq offer the first real test of the United States' first-ever joint urban operations doctrine, which was published in 2002. This executive summary provides a top-line synthesis of joint urban operations observations and insights taken from thousands of pages of hard-copy and online material and from 102 interviews relating to Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom |
|
It should provide rich source material for tailoring the new doctrine, as presented in Joint Publication 3-06, and for the training, acquisition, and force structure initiatives that together must constantly adapt if they are to prepare U.S. forces properly for urban challenges yet to come."--BOOK JACKET |
