HARDWARE AND TACTICS OF POTENTIAL VALUE TO MILITARY FORCES ASSIGNED TO HELP CONTROL CIVIL DISTURBANCES.
Abstract
THE COMPREHENSIVE LAW AND ORDER ASSISTANCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, CLOARAD, PROGRAM WAS A SMALL-SCALE ATTEMPT TO EVALUATE SPECIFIC TACTICAL PROBLEMS AND REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED ON MILITARY FORCES IN DISTURBANCES. THIS REPORT DELINEATES THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED DURING THE PROGRAM AND PRESENTS GUIDELINES FOR THE SOLUTION OF THESE PROBLEMS. TWO RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE IN THE REPORT - (1) THERE SHOULD BE COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMS ANALYSES TO DETERMINE THE BEST FEASIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR THE PROBLEMS STATED IN THE REPORT; AND (2) THERE SHOULD BE A LARGER-SCALE, INTENSIVE EFFORT TO ASSEMBLE AND ANALYZE PRE-DEFINED DATA ON CIVIL DISTURBANCES.
