Description

Foreword From the development of amphibious warfare to the creation of the air-ground task force, the U.S. Marine Corps has a long history of innovation. Marines have also made a significant number of advances in the field of irregular warfare. During the early twentieth century, Marines fought small wars in Central America and the Caribbean and published one of the first detailed treatises on the subject, The Small Wars Manual, in 1940. Over the course of the last decade, the Marine Corps rediscovered its small wars heritage and once again demonstrated its adaptable and innovative character as it fought insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq. Before the start of those wars, the Marine Corps’ principal focus was on conducting contingency operations of limited duration. While most planners believed that the most likely places Marines would conduct these operations were in the volatile and populated areas of Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia, there was little attention paid to learning about the cultures and societies of these regions. Both the Iraq War and Afghanistan War forced Marines to conduct counterinsurgency operations in densely populated areas where knowledge of the local social geography was as critical to achieving success as defeating insurgent forces in open battle. Marines quickly adapted both in the field and at the Corps’ training installations and schools. This book recounts the remarkable story of how the Marine Corps instituted new programs and new courses of study to train and educate Marines in counterinsurgency and irregular warfare. Nicholas J. Schlosser received his doctorate in history from the University of Maryland in 2008. He has been a historian at the Marine Corps History Division since 2009 and is the author of U.S. Marines in Battle: Al-Qaim, September 2005–March 2006 and the editor of U.S. Marines in Iraq 2004–2008: Anthology and Annotated Bibliography. He is also coeditor of Counterinsurgency Leadership in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Beyond, a publication of the Marine Corps University Press. His research focuses on irregular warfare, the Cold War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
