US Special Operations Forces in Action: The Challenge of Unconventional WarfareUS Special Operations Forces in Action examines the composition of the SOF and their varying roles, discussing their evolution, strengths and weaknesses, and gives a history of US involvement in nonconventional warfare from the American Revolution to the present day. What is needed, Adams proposes, is a change in strategic thinking together with investment in training and a usable military doctrine to guide development. A shift in expectations is required, with a greater willingness to accept lengthy commitments and incremental progress. |
