This learning resource focuses on the analysis of six Medal of Honor citations to evaluate the transition from conventional warfare to counter-insurgency operations during the Global War on Terror between 2001 and 2021. Students will study how changes in environment, technology, and enemy tactics influenced military strategies. The resource includes a vocabulary bank of relevant terms such as Counter-insurgency (COIN), Improvised Explosive Device (IED), and Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG). It also features a structured reflection section prompting students to identify shifts in military presence, analyze constants in tactics, and engage in a synthesis discussion about evolving enemy strategies and adaptations of the U.S. Military. Finally, students are encouraged to critically hypothesize the potential implications of future military technologies on counter-insurgency efforts.
