This film is part of that ongoing discussion and highlights some of the most basic and important parts of current IW doctrine that should remain in place, while suggesting some needed changes as well. The character and form of war are constantly changing, yet its fundamental nature remains the same. Though Great Power Competition is now our primary national security challenge – a departure from conducting almost two decades of continuous irregular war against violent extremist organizations worldwide – the requirement for mastery of irregular warfare persists. Far from abandoning these critical competencies, we will sharpen these capabilities for application against peer competitor, nation-state adversaries. – 2020 Irregular Warfare Annex to the National Defense Strategy IW Reality: Conventional forces have, and always will have, a role in IW across a variety of missions, and a range of military activities IW Myth: Irregular Warfare (IW) is Counterterrorism (CT), CT is Special Operations Forces (SOF), therefore IW is SOF. 00:17: Introduction 01:44: Definitions of Irregular & Regular Warfare 07:26: Strategic Competition 10:12: Application of Irregular Warfare 13:51: Irregular Warfare and People 18:25: Needed Training & Changes 21:42: Conclusion 24:44: Credits </video> <video> Dr. Pierre Asselin and Rambo Description: Dr. Pierre Asselin chats about how a film got him interested in the Vietnam War. </video> <video> Desert Storm #cavalry #history #usarmy #army #tank #Abrams #Apaches #Bradleys Description: For almost four hundred years, the possibility of tactical decisiveness hinged upon the commander's use of their most mobile arm, the cavalry. </video> <video> Battle of Ortona #history #ww2 #army Description: The Army University Films Team is proud to present, The Battle of Ortona, as told by Major Jayson Geroux of the Canadian Armed Forces. </video> <video> Trailer - Huế: Battle for the Heart of Vietnam Description: Huế: Battle for the Heart of Vietnam premieres this Friday, 22 November, at 0700 CST. https://youtu.be/9_rBDTD5RXM?feature=shared The Battle of Hue is known for urban combat, destruction, and anguish.
