3D Vulnerability Analysis Solution to the Problem of Military Energy Security and Interposing Tactics

摘要

Military energy security is defined in the same terms as its civil counterpart, energy security. Conventionally focused on policy, technology, and programmatic initiatives, it is aimed at increasing the security and sustainability of energy resources (for defence or otherwise). This remains valid if military energy security is defined in purely economic terms. In terms of alternative strategies or terrorist 'tactics, techniques, and procedures', a new set of operational problems arise. This article examines an attack scenario based on 'interposing tactics'. This involves attacking and defending energy supply. The '3D vulnerability analysis' tool/model is proposed as a solution.
