Militarized Maneuver Terrorism
"Militarized Maneuver Terrorism (MMT) is an evolving tactic posing a direct threat to the perception of security in the United States. Militarized Maneuver Terrorists (MMTs) are multiple (more than two) highly trained individuals, well-armed and capable of executing planned and coordinated attacks. Using case studies from Beslan, Russia, Mumbai, India, and Nairobi, Kenya, MMTs were found to be substantively different than active shooters and current response protocols likely ineffective. Examining a means, opportunity and intent framework, the thesis concludes deterrence is preferred over response to avoid physical, economic and psychological harm from such an attack. MMT deterrence may be achieved through five lines of effort using both covert and overt approaches. Disrupting foreign terrorist safe havens, enhancing Border Security, training law enforcement in infantry tactics, and widespread and legal citizenry possession of concealed firearms, combined with information operations could make the United States a less attractive target for MMT."

Infiltrating to Win: The Conduct of Border Denial Operations
From the thesis abstract: "Covert cross border infiltration plays a critical role in modern warfare. The methods counter US military technical and firepower advantages by hiding behind the international understanding about the sanctity of borders. Cross-border infiltration enables enemies to seize and maintain the offensive initiative from bases in adjacent safe haven countries. Covert cross-border infiltration allows states such as Russia to pursue aggressive geopolitical policies while maintaining plausible deniability to the international community. For non-state actors, cross border infiltration provides a survivable and practical way to achieve their political goals This study examined how US Special Forces and First Field Forces conducted border denial operations in the Central Highland 'tri-border' region during the Vietnam War. Despite the development of cross-border operations doctrine during the Vietnam War, this study concludes the US Army discarded and discounted their lessons learned. The US Army today may achieve strategic border denial by arranging tactical actions causing the adversary to suffer the cost of infiltration without gaining any benefits. Using the deep-closesupport operational framework, interdiction, barrier emplacement, and a learning border security system, the US Army can disrupt enemy safe havens, neutralize infiltrators, and build capable host nation border security forces."
