One of the principal tasks of the military men of the International Forces in Support of the Security, deployed in the Southwest of Asia, in the countries menaced by the islamist terrorism, is the motorized patrolling by the dusty ways that interlace the zone of influence of their barracks. These areas almost lacks Tarmac […]

Introducción. Una de las tareas principales de los militares de las Fuerzas Internacionales de Apoyo a la Seguridad, desplegadas en el Suroeste de Asia, es el patrullaje motorizado por los caminos polvorientos que entrecruzan la zona de influencia de sus acuartelamientos. Estas zonas casi carecen de carreteras asfaltadas. Y cuando las hay, no son gran […]

Introduction. After the annihilation of the guerrilla supporting bases of the Islamic State (the dispersion and the loss of the will of defense, not the physical disappearance) in Iraq, and soon in Syria, the political social panorama that the Southwest of Asia presents is distressing, curled and gloomy. The possible “allies” of the global or […]

(CONTINUATION) And this is the gravity center of the fight against the solitary wolves. To preventive and isolately hunt them is very difficult, because they scarcely do not leave tracks. It is necessary to fight against the necessary instigators of their ideas (persons, companions, mass media of all kinds, trips to their foreign centers). For […]

(continuation) 4) The Islamic terrorists are in many places deeply divided ideologically, institutionally and strategically. Though the rivals bands could occasionally offer between them support, refuge, information or supplies. The real reasons are that the chiefs of principal bands want to be always “emirs or sheikhs and interpreters of the Islam” in his place, his […]

The radical fundamentalist Islamic insurgents or jihadistas devoted themselves between the 60s and 80s to attack those that they were qualifying as corrupt and false or socialist or westernized and liberal “Moslem governments”. Their fortune was small for all their commited effort. On one hand, the retreat of the Soviets of Afghanistan. But, possessing the […]

(CONTINUATION)   In France more than 4,5 million Muslims are settled, specially of Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian origin. The European metropolis practised an “asymmetric multiculturalism”, to first accept in his society and to next integrate, their emigrants. But, they cannot direct and regulate the social movements with the compass and the set square. The social […]

Introduction and Thematic Index. The civilization and his vital and social structures, in his interactions with the individuals and their psychology. The failure of the jihadists in joining a “group with shared beliefs and virtues (the permanent values)”. That give to their lives identity, sense and belonging. Why do they behave this way? How to […]

(CONTINUATION)   Operational Characteristics of the Attacks with Elite Ground Forces. Units and small units that attack with limited aims (a deep incursion, the temporal capture of a critical position, an ambush) constitute a military closed “system”. This condition imposes specific characteristics on the “interfaces of action” with the enemy, which are sometimes different to […]

There is taking place in the last months a real “planetary conjunction”. It is about the “temporary coincidence” of a bloody and fierce pursuit of the Christians, whose “green outbreaks” are in the Arabic Islamic countries. That is coincidental with the solvent, quiet and cunning action of the European “trendies”, against the virtues of the […]

Si Plutarco viviera hoy en día, seguramente escribiría una de sus “Vidas Paralelas” (una de las dos colecciones de sus obras), dedicada a tratar y comparar los aviones no tripulados (“death from above”) y los yihadistas suicidas (“Allahu Akbar”). En efecto, ambas son armas cargantes y asiméricas (ACA), dirigidas contra el personal y los factores […]

(continuation) The explosive Taliban: from the Jihad to the Garden of the Houris, without scales. The suicidal mujaidin is a personally advanced weapon (just look for who has nowadays the fearlessness of removing itself from life, defending some ideals and a prize at the Other Side), abundant, nearby and cheap. It possesses the highest “combat […]

If Plutarch was living today, surely he would write one of his “Parallel Lives” (one of two collections of his works), dedicated to trying and comparing the not crewed planes (“death from above”) and the suicidal yihadists (“Allahu Akbar”). In effect, both are annoying and asymmetrical weapon, directed against the personnel and the mental and […]

(CONTINUATION) or The Expert Taliban Military Field Manual The suicidal Taliban. The suicidal fighter is a common weapon of the Taliban. The suicidal militant is for the Taliban a cheap, abundant, effective and highly asymmetric weapon. If the explosive charge, its characteristics and the vector are the suitable ones: the sophisticated enemy sensors and the […]

or The Expert Taliban Military Field Manual In this epoch of scanty dissimulation, of powerful electronic sensors, even installed in the space, of spreads of the “intelligence”, the enemy movements and hostile intentions are difficult to conceal to a military modern army. The means to achieve it are the dispersion, the geography (fogs, rainfalls, forests, […]

On how a passive defense is inoperative and shameful in the counter insurgency war!! (continuation) The Taliban assault at Friday, 14, September, 2012 against Camp Bastion. The British base has been attacked in diverse occasions during his years of existence. The most “media” occasion has been this that we treat. In the assault were dead […]
