Abstract

Abstract : This paper examines how to measure progress and effects in irregular warfare. The paper establishes a context by describing what exactly irregular warfare is and then explores current U.S. military doctrine to see what guidance it provides to measure progress and effects. It then examines several methods and models that one could use to measure progress and effects, and recommends the most appropriate. It explores how Special Operations Forces (S.O.F.) could measure the progress and effects of their conduct of counterinsurgency-related irregular warfare operations in environments other than Iraq and Afghanistan, and explores the applicability of such measures in other irregular warfare activities.
