Joint unconventional warfare is the inter-agency, or international implementation of an unconventional warfare strategy, comprising elements of asymmetric warfare, irregular warfare, urban warfare and various forms of psychological operations deployed by non-traditional means. Joint unconventional warfare would fall under the COIN theory of military operations, generally used in Counter-insurgency operations. The form of military activity has come very much into popular usage under the aegis of General David Petraeus and the former General General Stanley McCrystal. == Definitions == The U.S. Naval definition of unconventional warfare comprises: "military and paramilitary operations, predominantly conducted through, with, or by indigenous or surrogate forces organized, trained, equipped, supported, and directed in varying degrees by an external source. Unconventional warfare includes, but is not limited to, guerrilla warfare, sabotage, subversion, intelligence activities, and unconventional assisted recovery".〔(USAWC STRATEGY RESEARCH PROJECT: A JOINT AND INTERAGENCY UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE TRAINING STRATEGY FOR SPECIAL FORCES IN THE 21ST CENTURY ), Colonel David G. Fox, United States Army, U.S. Army War College, CARLISLE BARRACKS, PENNSYLVANIA 17013〕 The U.S. Army field manual describes unconventional warfare as “intent of United States unconventional warfare operations is to exploit a hostile power’s political, military, economic, and psychological vulnerability by developing and sustaining resistance forces to accomplish U.S. strategic objectives.”〔(Department of the Army, Special Forces Unconventional Warfare Operations, Field Manual 3-05.201 ) (Washington D.C.: U.S. Department of the Army, 30 April 2003), 1-1.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joint Unconventional Warfare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
