This handbook is a reference guide prepared under the direction of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. Understanding terrorism spans foreign and domestic threats of nation-states, rogue states with international or transnational agent demonstrations, and actors with specific strategies, tactics, and targets. A central aspect of this terrorism handbook is foreign and domestic threats against the United States of America in a contemporary operational environment (COE). This informational handbook supports operational missions, institutional training, and professional military education for U.S. military forces in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). This capstone document provides an introduction to the nature of terrorism and recognition of terrorist threats to U.S. military forces. A common situational awareness by U.S. military forces considers three principal venues: forces that are deployed, forces that are in transit to or from an operational mission, and forces that are primarily installation or institution support. Compiled from open source materials, this handbook promotes a 'Threats' perspective and enemy situational awareness of U.S. strategies and operations in combating terrorism. Neither a counterterrorism directive nor anti-terrorism manual, the handbook complements but does not replace training and intelligence products on terrorism. The handbook exists primarily for U.S. military forces, however, other applicable groups include interdepartmental, interagency, and intergovernmental personnel; civilian contractors; nongovernmental personnel; private volunteers; and humanitarian relief organizations. Appendixes address Terrorist Threats to Combatant Commands, The Terrorist Planning Cycle, Terrorist Operations and Tactics, Firearms, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Conventional Military Munitions, and Weapons of Mass Destruction. The last four appendixes on terrorist weapons include descriptions and photographs.
