Sommario/riassunto

"The US military returned to the Philippines in 2001 to help repel internationally linked terrorist groups. For the next decade-plus of Operation Enduring Freedom-Philippines, US troops concentrated on improving the Philippine security forces and fostering a healthy relationship between the government and local population. Denied permission to conduct direct action and with a force cap of 500, they succeeded in turning a strategic threat in a small, overlooked Global War on Terrorism theater into a manageable law enforcement problem"--Provided by publisher.
