Cook, Edward M. Selected Principles of Wars As They Apply to Counterdrug Operations. Newport, RI, Naval War College, 1999. 16 p.
The author looks at the Dept. of Defense principles for conducting war and determines that in order to win the "war on drugs" a hybrid set of principles should be applied. These principles include those of unity of command, objective, offensive, surprise, security, and perseverance. This thesis looks at the historical background of the "war on drugs", how it is currently fought and, with the application of this hybrid set of principles, how it can be improved.

Dunlap, Gregory R. Reassessing Drug Control Strategy: A New Opportunity. Carlisle Barracks, PA, Army War College, 2002. 26 p.
"The paper concludes that the source zone supply reduction and interdiction strategy suffers fatally from ignorance of the market relationship between supply and demand; lack of unity of command and effort, no shared vision; and a failure to synchronize drug control strategy with other national security and economic policies."

Fleming, Steven D. The Challenges of Command and Control in 2010 Counterdrug Operations. Newport, RI, Naval War College, 1999. 35 p.
This paper introduces many new technologies on the horizon of the 21st Century that will vastly improve information and interdiction operations. From these, future operational commanders will be provided an extensive set of options in order to rapidly attack or interdict key nodes of the drug cartel's operations. In order to accommodate the speed of illegal drug supply operations that will be realized in the new millennium, the current C2 structure should be immediately reviewed and subsequently changed. This paper recommends that the leadership, organizational staffing, missions, and rules of engagement are four critical areas that should receive primary re-structuring."

Meese, W. R. Planning Factors for Non Lethal Weapons in Counter Narcotic Operations. Newport, RI, Naval War College, 1999. 23 p.
"The Coast Guard is investigating avenues to leverage technology to improve interdiction effectiveness. This is necessary since there is little likelihood for increased funding for additional interdiction resources to stem the flow of drugs via the maritime routes. One alternative, currently under development by the U.S. Marine Corps, is the deployment of non lethal weapons technology aboard Coast Guard helicopters and cutters to compel unwilling suspect vessels to stop.

Neptun, Daniel A. Posse Comitatus: Some Thoughts on Loosening Its Restrictions Within the Department of Defense. Newport, RI, Naval War College, 1999. 32 p.
Posse Comitatus law and/or service policies have prohibited DOD forces from becoming involved in domestic/civil law enforcement since the late 1879s. Focus upon the "war on drugs" during the 1980s generated new laws that significantly changed DOD's role in this long-term battle. Author feels that it's time for another look at partially increasing DOD involvement in counterdrug operations, and presents a case for authorizing U.S. Navy combatants to board foreign vessels upon the high seas.

This paper examines the current drug problem in our country, describes the DoD's current activities and the comprehensive challenges, and concludes a more focused DoD effort, as a key support agent of the national counterdrug strategy, is fiscally possible and would provide better results."
