Military
Last year in August, Marine Corps Lt. General Robert M. Shea (Ret.) reflected on U.S. President Barack Obama’s July 2015 remarks on the Progress in the Fight against ISIL,[1] by criticising the current force limitations in the U.S. Army to conduct joint operations (Shea 2015). The retired general spoke of the current U.S. military force facing hybrid threats, combined conventional and unconventional warfare methods. That the “Army now has a generation of soldiers that has fought tactically in this complex environment” though not at an integrated, joint level means there is much to improve on (Shea 2015). Obama also recognized that “ISIL’s threat of lone wolves or small cells of terrorists is complex”[2] and makes it clear that instability is just as prevalent in Western countries.
