Although the United States plays a leading role in the development
of technology, particularly that used by militaries around the
world, the U.S. military nonetheless continues to find itself
struggling against lower-tech foes that conduct warfare on a
different scale. Emerging technology is indeed available and is
regularly engaged in American counterinsurgency efforts; since it
is also constantly in flux, however, strategies for its use must
continually evolve to ensure that available resources are put to
best use against disparate enemies. Counterinsurgency operations
are inherently political conflicts, and in The Role and Limitations
of Technology in U.S. Counterinsurgency, Richard W. Rubright
addresses the limits of technology in enhancing American military
capability. Analyzing the limitations and self-imposed restrictions
on the use of technology as well as current military doctrine, he
develops a new rubric for guiding the military in modern warfare.
Drawing on textual analysis, personal interviews with international
military professionals, and firsthand experience on the ground in
Iraq, this book is the first to address the role of technology in
counterinsurgency operations within operational, tactical, and
strategic contexts.
