Topics included the relationship between urbanization and revolutions in military affairs; the challenges of urban combat, based on personal experiences during the fighting in 1968 Hue, Republic of Vietnam; lessons learned from a 2001 operational and strategic-level war game; the development of theoretical constructs and decisionmaking aids for urban operations; a consideration of the operational-level challenges of coordinating urban internal security operations; the combat stress reaction that confronts individuals in the conduct of urban operations; the intricate and complex activities involved in maintaining peace and establishing stability in Brcko, Bosnia-Herzegovina; and the training essential to success in environments where much is demanded of the most junior-level leaders.
