Book Description
Recently there has been substantial controversy over the United States military's role in the drug war. Under legislation passed in 1981, the Department of Defense now assists civilian law enforcement agencies in their fight to combat illegal drug trafficking by lending military equipment and facilities, through intelligence sharing, and by providing expert training and advice to civilians. The use of military personnel is also contributing to the anti-drug effort and is probably the most sensitive area of consideration. Clearly, some policymakers see the drug problem as a threat to the economic, social, and national security of our country and look to the military for assistance and cooperation. However, others think that providing military assistance to civil authorities will interfere with the primary mission of the Department of Defense--military preparedness. To assist researchers in a better understanding of how the armed services are involved in the drug war, the US Army War College Library presents NARCOTICS INTERDICTION AND THE MILITARY: A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY. It includes notable publications that were added to the Library's collection since the first edition, entitled THE MILITARY IN THE WAR ON DRUGS. Keywords: Reports; Military publications. (eg).

Book Description
This report analyzes the problems of measuring the effectiveness of military operations in support of drug interdiction from several perspectives: from the military's extensive historical experience with interdiction campaigns, from the military's traditional means for assigning responsibility and granting authority, and from the changing relationship between the military and public through the news media. In sum, these perspectives suggest that any interdiction campaign devoted to controlling illegal drugs will be both difficult to assess and controversial. It will be difficult not just because of the fractionation of tasks and responsibilities or because of restrictive rules of engagement, but mostly because of the complex and dynamic nature of interdiction campaigns. It will be controversial not just because drug control or use of the military is controversial, but mostly because of the changing nature of a society with an abundance of public information. The concerns should not be with the difficulties of assessment or the controversy that may attend assessments, but with ensuring clear lines of military responsibility and authority and with the validity of the overall strategy that has led to military operations in support of drug interdiction.
