The concept of low-level warfare is tested empirically by a factor analysis of 37 attributes on 309 politically significant violent conflicts, 1944-1966. Data on U. S. Navy operations in 94 conflicts, indexed by 52 attributes, were also factor analyzed. Major power interaction with less-developed countries (76 attributes, 90 countries) was also studied for the years 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965. The results of these three analyses provide: (1) major orthogonal dimensions of variation, indexing variables, and factor scores of conflicts, Navy operations and great power influence. Conclusions are drawn on the concept of 'low-level' warfare and Navy roles and missions in it. Also included are essays on national security planning for low-level warfare, U.S. Navy civic action, and quantitative research on politically significant violent conflict. Data-making procedures and technical details on the factor analyses are in Volume II. (Author)
