We may well have turned an important corner: in Churchill\rquote s words after the victory at El Alamein: \'93It may not be the beginning of the end, but it }{\fs24\insrsid2823286 may be}{\fs24\insrsid4273199 the end of the beginning.\'94 \par \par }{\b\fs24\insrsid4273199\charrsid5871 On the Four Generations of War: \par }{\fs24\insrsid10688743 \par }{\fs24\insrsid4273199 Briefly put, there have been four generations of warfare practiced since the Thirty Years War of the early 1600s. That saw the rise of the first integrated standing armies and the period from 1620 to the early years of the Napoleonic Wars represent the First Generation of warfare, with states seekin g limited wars to maintain a balance of power. \par \par The Second }{\fs24\insrsid5871 G}{\fs24\insrsid4273199 eneration of mass production frontal warfare rises in the slug fest battles of Napoleon\rquote s latter career and in the trenches of our US Civil War. It reached its peak in World Wars One and Two. \par \par But as early as 1915, the Germans began to explore the Third Generation of Maneuver Warfare in an effort to break the stalemate }{\fs24\insrsid5871 along the western front. They failed due to lack of rapid transport. And in both our Civil War and in the Middle East, Generals such as Sherman & Sheridan, and Allenby were able to practice maneuver warfare with great success. \par \par And in all these wars there was some level of guerrilla warfare practiced. And Guerrilla warfare is an essential component of Fourth Generation or Peoples\rquote Warfare. But the guerrilla (a term coined by the Spanish resistance to Napoleon) element is but a stage in the process of grinding down the target government. Guerrilla warriors can not unseat a well-armed government. Mao himself understood this and wro te of three phases in the campaign, where in Phase One, you build your support base }{\fs24\insrsid3227976 and networks }{\fs24\insrsid5871 in both political and military terms, In Phase Two you build a conventional force while using the guerrillas to grind down the government. In Phase Three your c onventional force topples that weakened government and you consolidate your own governmental control.}{\fs24\insrsid4680388 Importantly Peoples War relies on building human networks that cannot be easily rooted out or broken up: it is \'93 network-centric\'94 by its very nature.}{\fs24\insrsid4273199 \par }{\fs24\insrsid5871 \par Mao took some 18 years to take over China and demonstrated that time is a key factor in favor of the 4GW warrior. He also determined that the political message both inside the country, and internationally, is more important than the tempo of military ope rations themselves. Ho Chi Minh adopted Mao\rquote s strategy to first, grind down the French occupation of Indo-China, and then to grind down US support for the post-colonial government in Saigon. \par \par In fact, we find in our history that 4GW has been the only proven means of defeating the armed forces of the United States and its allies. }{\fs24\insrsid3227976 Our troops were maneuvered out of Vietnam and abandoned Beirut and Somalia, after 4GW disasters. Britain quit Kenya after being ground down by the Mau Mau guerrilla, though Britain had also won a 4}{\fs24\super\insrsid3227976 th }{\fs24\insrsid3227976 Generation campaign in Malaya after World War 2. Serbia, Macedonia and their neighbors are the target of a 4GW campaign mounted by highly vicious Geg Albanian terrorists and Mafiosi, masquerading as a victimized ethnic \'93minority.\'94 And in that case, their political operatives in Washington, deliberately emulating Israel\rquote s mighty lobbying, have developed a very powerful political message and network. }{\fs24\insrsid5871 \par }{\fs24\insrsid3227976 \par }{\b\fs24\insrsid3869980\charrsid3869980 Case Studies in 4GW and Constabulary Duties \par }{\fs24\insrsid3869980 \par }{\fs24\insrsid3227976 In a book due out in October of this year, Marine Colonel Thomas X }{\fs24\insrsid609646 Hamm}{\fs24\insrsid3227976 es has written a clear guide to the principles, doctrine and case studies in 4GW, entitled }{ \i\fs24\insrsid3227976\charrsid4680388 The Sling and the Stone}{\fs24\insrsid3227976 .
