Each region is prefaced with a descriptive account of major military events of the previous year.

Past 1 chapter 9 lists UN and other deployments in 2006-2007, comparative defence expenditures and military manpower, and arms deliveries. Chapter 10 is a stand alone article entitled Complex irregular warfare - the psychological component.

A separate poster-sized chart of conflict gives details of past and on-going conflicts with supporting data e.g. fatalities, peace support operations, top U.N. troop contributing countries, and selected foreign military interventions.
