Starting Point
GUERRA DE CUARTA O QUINTA GENERACION :
NO PENSAR EN PAISES. NI ETNIAS NI IDEOLOGIAS. NI GRUPOS POLITICOS
TODAS SE CONVIERTEN EN INSTRUMENTOS DE ESTAS ESTRATEGIAS
<< We live in a world of "fourth generation warfare (4GW)" where the tactics of the weak confound the tactics of the strong>>
Nation-states confront criminal enterprises, fanatical opportunists, terrorists whose gang-like networks transcend national boundaries.
638 × 479
These bad actors often slip through the cracks of our own security, military, and legal bureaucracies.

What Is Fourth Generation Warfare ?What Is Fourth Generation Warfare ?
•
Formless and most deadly kind of war
•
4GW ops are intelligence driven (i.e. WTC attack; China’s hacker attacks on US.) Countering the threat requires an intensive intelligence effort to drive counter-4GW ops.
•
Requires constant preparation and resourcefulness
•
Distinguishing a combatant from a non-combatant can be extremely difficult (i.e. use of mosques or churches to plan terrorist attacks -Levant/Asia; refugees/displaced persons infiltrated w/ agent provocateurs -Balkans; exploitation of fragmented cultures w/in a country for purposes of breaking downa society -al-Qa’ida vsUS; exploitation of rules of engagement as in Somalia)
