Modern guerrilla campaign
Essence
Capitalize
on corruption, injustice, incompetence, etc., (or their appearances) as basis
to generate atmosphere of mistrust and discord
in order to sever moral bonds that bind people to existing regime.
Simultaneously,
Share existing burdens with people and work with them to
root out and punish corruption, remove injustice,
eliminate grievances, etc., as basis to form moral bonds between people and
guerrillas in order to bind people to guerrilla
philosophy and ideals.
Intent
Shape and
exploit crises environment that permits guerrilla vanguards or cadres
to pure-up guerrilla resolve, attract the uncommitted,
and drain-away adversary resolve as foundation to replace existing regime
with guerrilla regime.
Implication
Guerrillas,
by being able to penetrate the very essence of their
adversarys moral-mental-physical being, generate many
moral-mental-physical non-cooperative (or isolated) centers of gravity, as
well as subvert or seize those centers of gravity that
adversary regime must depend upon, in order to magnify
friction, produce paralysis, and bring about collapse.
Yet,
Guerrillas
shape or influence moral-mental-physical atmosphere so that potential
adversaries, as well as the uncommitted, are drawn
toward guerrilla philosophy and are empathetic toward guerrilla success.
