Summary, etc. | Considers the meaning of asymmetry noting its long application in violent conflicts, then discusses asymmetric warfare in various contexts: use by terrorists, use in information warfare, in relation to land, sea, and air power. Finally assesses the US military's response to asymmetry noting that the US has by far the most powerful armed forces in the world but still is best prepared for second and third generation warfare. The USMC has made some structural changes but this is the exception rather than the rule and subtlety apparently continues to be an elusive notion in US military thinking. |
