Download or read book The Military s Role in Drug Interdiction is Headed for Failure written by Robert W. Wade and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study takes on both the tasks of analyzing the drug war on the grand scale and the military's role in interdiction. The study begins with the nature of the drug problem and the history of military involvement in the drug war. On the grand scale, the pros and cons of various drug-war strategies are discussed. A strategy which would target the user and potential user seems to offer the most hope for success. However, such a strategy would require much time, patience, and money to win. In regard to military involvement, four potential problems are discussed: the problems with interdiction, the lack of training, organizational problems, and the lack of a meaningful measurement of merit. The author believes that these problems will not be sufficiently solved; therefore, the military's role in the drug war will not succeed. The last chapter offers recommendations for a grand strategy and for the military's role in the drug war. Among those recommendations is the wild-card strategy, which is a search for a cocaine substitute to be used for drug-abuse treatment.

Download or read book A Modified Drug Interdiction Role for the Military written by Eric S. Gartner and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public disappointment over the perceived failure of the United States Government to Win the 'War on drugs' has led to speculation that the immense resources and capabilities of the military could be utilized to effect a victory against the scourge of drugs. The Department of Defense was subsequently named in 1989 as the lead agency for detection and monitoring of air and maritime transport of illegal drugs into the United States. This role already had international ramifications, as military assets has been deployed in order to support the counter-drug capabilities of drug-producing nations. However, this role for the military has repercussions which were problematical. A traditional, analytical methodology was utilized in examining the results and consequences of the international role of the U.S. military in drug interdiction. The results showed that the present utilization of military resources, though successful in accomplishing their detection and monitoring mission, was largely ineffective in stemming the flow of drugs into the United States. jg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anytime the use of US Armed Forces in support of civil authorities is considered, government and military leaders, pundits, and citizens reflexively turn to the Posse Comitatus Act for guidance. Since 9/11, the US Armed Forces face an increased likelihood that they will be called on to participate in actions typically viewed as civil matters. Many have also called for an increased role for the US Armed Forces in responding to natural disasters. Though many constitutional provisions, laws, and legal rulings govern this question, in the minds of many, the Posse Comitatus Act has prominence. Most individuals think they know what the Posse Comitatus Act allows and disallows; most of them are wrong.

Download or read book Shooting Up written by Vanda Felbab-Brown and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most policymakers see counterinsurgency and counternarcotics policy as two sides of the same coin. Stop the flow of drug money, the logic goes, and the insurgency will wither away. But the conventional wisdom is dangerously wrongheaded, as Vanda Felbab-Brown argues in Shooting Up. Counternarcotics campaigns, particularly those focused on eradication, typically fail to bankrupt belligerent groups that rely on the drug trade for financing. Worse, they actually strengthen insurgents by increasing their legitimacy and popular support. Felbab-Brown, a leading expert on drug interdiction efforts and counterinsurgency, draws on interviews and fieldwork in some of the world's most dangerous regions to explain how belligerent groups have become involved in drug trafficking and related activities, including kidnapping, extortion, and smuggling. Shooting Up shows vividly how powerful guerrilla and terrorist organizations — including Peru's Shining Path, the FARC and the paramilitaries in Colombia, and the Taliban in Afghanistan — have learned to exploit illicit markets. In addition, the author explores the interaction between insurgent groups and illicit economies in frequently overlooked settings, such as Northern Ireland, Turkey, and Burma. While aggressive efforts to suppress the drug trade typically backfire, Shooting Up shows that a laissez-faire policy toward illicit crop cultivation can reduce support for the belligerents and, critically, increase cooperation with government intelligence gathering. When combined with interdiction targeting major traffickers, this strategy gives policymakers a better chance of winning both the war against the insurgents and the war on drugs.
Download or read book The Military s Entry Into Air Interdiction of Drug Trafficking from South America written by John Ahart and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note examines the military's participation in the air interdiction of international drug traffic. On the larger question of the effectiveness of drug interdiction efforts, the research indicates that interdiction efforts are having an impact on the drug market by diverting drug smugglers from the easier routes. The research also indicates that although the interfaces between the agencies involved in the civilian interdiction forces are highly complicated and not clearly defined, the effort is well established, experienced, and (apparently) working. Finally, the research indicates that the military's contributions to the air interdiction of drug traffic are significant, are providing positive benefits to the overall effort, and are growing in importance. Nonetheless, inserting the military forces into the established domain of civilian law enforcement agencies has produced problems, such as the inherent tension between the military philosophy of action and the civilian need for building evidence and the precise observance of procedures; civilian/military equipment mismatches; turf wars; and realization that increasing civilian/military integration could undercut the effort if the military has to pull out to deal with a national defense need.
