TERRORISM AND LOW ORDER WARFARE:
Future Threats and Implications for
Defense Policy and Force Structure
Recent events in the Third World highlight the serious consequences of terrorism and "low-
order" warfare for U.S. policy and personnel. Although U.S. national security policy is directed
primarily toward meeting the political and military threat posed by the Soviet Union. terrorism and
"low-order" warfare threaten important U.S. interests--including substantial operations of American
corporations--in crisis-prone regions of the Third World.
What insights can be provided to national security professionals and corporate planning decision-
makers about these threats? What is the evolution of U.S. military doctrine, force structure and
weapons systems in coping with these threats?
