Summary/Abstract: As the saying goes, ‘this ain’t your father’s war.’ Tomorrow’s battles will be won or lost against a techsavvy enemy fighting in the mean streets of poverty ridden cities and lawless states, where the rules of conventional warfare no longer apply. While many challenges loom on the horizon, several key aspects of the security environment will be critical to United States and allied military successes in the next decade and beyond. What follows is a short exposition describing some of these aspects. The intent is to enlighten and better position people to inform and advise senior leadership concerning projected security increments. The parts inform the whole, and ultimately culminate into military campaign outcomes.
