Sean Gourle’s list of the characteristics that define open source warfare. These are some points I found particularly interesting:
7. Tall poppy: The strongest groups are the predominant targets for opposition forces Internal competition: There is direct competition amongst insurgent groups for both resources and media exposure. They are competing with each other in addition to fighting the stronger counterinsurgent forces.
8. Independent co-ordination: Autonomous groups act in a coordinated fashion as a result of the competition that exists between them.
9. Emergent structure: Attacks in both Iraq and Colombia become ‘less random’ and more coordinated over time
