An assessment of the maritime component of a series of historical and ongoing operations reveals that current notions of irregular warfare would benefit from increased recognition of potential maritime contributions.Naval art and scienceIrregular warfareUnited StatesCase studiesRiverine operationsUnited StatesCase studiesPiracyPreventionCase studiesMaritime terrorismPreventionCase studiesNaval art and science.Irregular warfareRiverine operationsPiracyPreventionMaritime terrorismPrevention359.4/2Dunigan Molly904725National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910219978003321Characterizing and exploring the implications of maritime irregular warfare2023204UNINA
