What are some tactics and strategies used by the United States to hunt down terrorist in Afghanistan?
Im looking for specific strategies such as house to house searches or spy satellites. Not sure if thats is something the US uses its just an example. the more information the better. Also if you know of any good websites that contain such information that would be very helpful.
Spy satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles can only give you so much intel. That’s why human intelligence is still the top priority. Human intelligence gave us Saddam, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and plenty others (including the dude that looked like Ron Jeremy–can’t remember his name tho).
The most effective way of finding the terrorists is to rely on the people to tell you what’s going on. The way the US is doing that is by rebuilding the country, ensuring safe passage for civilians through the country, and giving them equipment and training for jobs to support their families.
Currently their is alot of use of unmanned vehicles and airstrikes against terrorist leadership but the generals on station have been requesting more troops to change up their strategy.
