This study investigates the aspects and nature of unconventional
warfare operations from pre-Cold War, Cold War, and post-Cold War
environments. The case studies examined are: unconventional warfare
operations in the Philippines (World War II), unconventional
warfare operations with the Contra Rebels, and unconventional
operations during Operation Uphold Democracy. Critical factors are
identified for each operation. By analyzing the critical aspects of
case studies spanning a full range of periods and operational
environments, parallels and trends are established. The threat
trends expected in the post-Cold War environment are established
and parallel aspects of unconventional warfare are evaluated
against them. The post-Cold War environment promises to be one of
ambiguity and asymmetry, with Special Forces soldiers working
through and with indigenous forces. To be successful in this
environment, Special Forces soldiers must be technically and
tactically proficient, with an emphasis on indirect skills.
Indirect skills enable SF soldiers to be flexible and adaptive to
fluid changes in the operational and political environment.
Primarily, the human element must be amplified. By focusing on
cross-cultural communications, linguistics, interpersonal, human
intelligence, and training skills, SF training will produce
competent and versatile unconventional warriors capable of meeting
the diverse threats expected in the post-Cold War environment.
