DoD’s Definition of

Terrorism

“The calculated use of violence or threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.”

DoD O-2000.12-H

Determine The Threat

• Are there any terrorist groups in my area?• Are they violent?• Do they attack Americans?• How active are they?• How sophisticated are they? • How do they operate—are they predictable• Will the local population warn Americans?• What tactics, weapons, and types of attacks

Eight threat factors to consider when determining the threat

Terrorist Profile

• male• 20s• single• urban• well-educated• middle or upper-class

Terrorist Tactics

• bombings• assassination• kidnapping• hijacking• ambush

• armed assault• incendiary attacks• street actions/tactics• sieges and

occupations• robberies

“We have no greater responsibility than the defense of our people against terrorist attack.”
