Mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles offer a case study
for investigating the current debate over the Pentagon's approach
to developing and fielding irregular warfare capabilities. Yet some
analysts now argue that MRAPs are not really useful for irregular
warfare and are prohibitively expensive. The authors conclude that
MRAPs are a valid irregular warfare requirement and that the
Pentagon should have been better prepared to field them, albeit not
on the scale demanded by events in Iraq. Also, the failure to
quickly field MRAPs lies not with the Pentagon's acquisition system
but rather the requirements process, reinforced by more fundamental
organizational factors. These findings suggest that improving
irregular warfare capabilities will require more extensive reforms
than many realize. Originally published by the National Defense
