 | This study offers a way of thinking about counterinsurgency tactics. Five salient propositions bind the paper. 1) Tactical success in a Phase II insurgency (such is the nature of the Salvadoran insurgency) is defined as the destruction of the guerrilla infrastructure among the populace. 2) The nature of an insurgent war charges the tactical military unit with performing political, economic, psychological and military tasks along the path to success. 3) ... |

| The Army cannot be sure whether it has enough prime power generators to provide electricity during wartime. It has reason to believe it may not. The uncertainty - the possible deficiency - should not be tolerated. Prime power is essential. The alternatives will not suffice. Commercial utilities are not available everywhere and are too vulnerable in wartime. Tactical generators consume too much fuel, demand too much maintenance, and wear out ... |

| Two of NATO's greatest concerns are that the Warsaw Pact could achieve a decisive military advantage over NATO by attacking out of a standing start without mobilizing and thus catching NATO completely unprepared, or by attacking after a short mobilization and taking advantage of NATO's failure to respond promptly to warning of Warsaw Pact preparations for war. These concerns are at the heart of NATO planning. They lead to policies ... |
