This capstone reference guide was prepared under the direction of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence - Threats. The handbook is supported by a supplemental handbook, DCSINT Handbook No. 1.01, "Terror Operations: Case Studies in Terrorism."

The central foci of the handbook are foreign and domestic threats against the United States in a contemporary operational environment (COE). The handbook supports operational missions, institutional training, and professional military education for U.S. military forces in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). It promotes an improved understanding of terrorist goals and objectives; motivation; planning strategy; behavior; conduct of operations; and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). The primary audiences for the handbook are U.S. military forces that are deployed, that are in transit to or from an operational mission, and that are primarily nondeployable as installation or institution support. Other applicable groups may include interdepartmental, interagency, intergovernmental, nongovernmental, private volunteer, and humanitarian relief organizations. Compiled from source materials, the handbook promotes a "threats" perspective and enemy situational awareness in combating terrorism. The chapters are titled as follows: Nature and History of Terror; Terrorist Behaviors, Motivations, and Characteristics; Terrorist Group Organization; Assessing Terrorist Capabilities and Intentions; Terrorist Targeting of U.S. Military Forces; and the Future of Terrorism. Appendixes focus on the following topics: Terrorist Threat to Combatant Commands, Terrorist Planning Cycle, Terrorist Operations and Tactics, Firearms, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Conventional Military Munitions, and WMD.

This document is intended as a resource to inform U.S. military personnel of the nature and characteristics of the terrorist threat in the current operational environment. Its purpose is to provide unit leaders, planners and commanders with a tool for understanding the nature of the terrorism and identifying the threat of terrorism to their units. It provides information for leaders to conduct realistic evaluations of risk and vulnerability to their units, and details probable circumstances in which U.S. military units can expect terrorist operations against them and likely motivations for such operations. This document is not intended to be a counter-terrorism "how-to" manual, or to replace current training and intelligence products dealing with terrorism.
