CASE NOTES FROM THE FIELD
We’ve compiled some case studies on non-state terrorist activities and their outcomes. We hope the articles and links that we’ve compiled will prove of use to our readers, in their professional development. As with “Notes From the Field”, we’re still soliciting your thoughts and lessons learned, so that other law enforcement and military professionals can consider the ideas and actions that made you successful on the non-state battlefield.
Your "Case Note" should be no less than one paragraph, no more than one page and written professionally. Your "Case Note" must be verifiable. If your "Case Note" gets placed in U.S.Cavalry OnPoint, you’ll receive a $75 gift certificate, good for purchases in one of our stores or from our catalog.
If you’d like to submit a “Case Note”, simply select the tab below and begin the process. It’s that simple. You’ll hear something back from us within five working days.

by: Dr. Douglas Macdonald |
|
6/2/2006 |
The controversies over the Bush administration’s “doctrine” of promoting democracy as a long-term goal of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) have raised once again that hardy perennial in the debate over American foreign policy: value projection. The debate juxtaposes two basic positions: the Jeffersonian idea that the United States should, when possible, serve as an active agent for the spread of democratic values in the world, and the Washingtonian idea that we should serve as a model for the rest

The ongoing controversy surrounding the debate over illegal immigration and border security issues in the United States, specifically as it applies to the porous U.S.-Mexico frontier and the status of millions of undocumented workers and other migrants that enter the country each year from Mexico, continues to dominate headlines. Although the overwhelming majority of those entering the United States from Mexico each day are in search of opportunity, many observers worry that it is only a matter

The foundation stones of European and Eurasian security are the series of treaties beginning with the Helsinki treaty of 1975 and its extension at Moscow in 1991; the 1987 Washington Treaty on Intermediate Nuclear forces in Europe (INF); the 1990 Paris Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE), extended in 1999; and the Paris and Rome treaties between NATO and Russia in 1997 and 2002. However, some, if not all, of these treaties are apparently at risk.

Examples of Cyber-terrorism |
|
by: Jimmy Sproles and Will Byars |
|
4/25/2006 |
Why would a terrorist decide to use the Internet, rather than using the usual methods of assassination, hostage taking and guerrilla warfare? Part of the problem is that terrorist may come to realize that removing one official from office only causes another to take the officials place, which may not cause the result the terrorist wished to achieve.
