5.0 out of 5 stars
Better than U.S. Army Doctrine,
This review is from: Street Smart: Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield for Urban Operations (Paperback)
Should be in the library of every tactical intelligence officer. Although the title suggests it is for urban warfare, this text is perfectly written for the counterinsurgency fight we are currently engaged in. The sad part is that this book discusses and teaches IPB better than the recent editions of U.S. Army doctrinal manuals that are intended to focus on COIN IPB.
My only complaint is that this book (as does Army doctrine) does not go far enough in showing how to develop a course of action that will influence a commander's decision. It discusses some good points, but never moves to the next step and show how to actually display and describe the enemy COA.
