In August 2005, the
United States (US) Army Training and Doctrine Command, Assistant Deputy Chief of
Staff for Intelligence-Threats released the Military Guide to Terrorism in the
Twenty-First Century. The Guide was designed primarily for US military forces,

The Guide provides information on the
nature of terrorism, terrorist groups and terrorist method of operations.
Complied from open source materials, the Guide includes a main handbook and four
