During a decade of global counterterrorism operations and two
extended counterinsurgency campaigns, the United States was
confronted with a new kind of adversary. Without uniforms, flags,
and formations, the task of identifying and targeting these
combatants represented an unprecedented operational challenge. The
existing, Cold War-era doctrinal methods were largely unsuited to
the cyber-warfare and terrorism that have evolved today. Rise of
iWar examines the doctrinal, technical, and bureaucratic
innovations that evolved in response to these new operational
challenges. It discusses the transition from a conventionally
focused, Cold War-era military approach to one optimized for the
internet age, focused on combating insurgency networks and
conducting identity-based targeting. It also analyzes the policy
decisions and strategic choices that caused these changes. This
study concludes with an in-depth examination of emerging
technologies that are likely to shape how this mode of warfare will
be waged in the future, and provides recommendations for how the US
military should continue to adapt to be combat its foes in the
digital age.
