Irregular Warfare (IW) challenges frequently span national boundaries and require coordinated strategies among U.S. government agencies as well as allied and partner nations. Toward this end, IW-301 is built to educate practitioners on the form, functions, and features of IW campaigning with a focus on the development of a regionally based, integrated interagency IW campaign plan. This course reviews and expands on key concepts from baseline IWC online courses and includes detailed, IW perspectives on the interagency, cross-government planning, operational design, and the principles of IW campaigning.
Course Requirements
IW-301 requires completion of a) self-paced eLearning modules with knowledge checks, b) development and submission of a regional, integrated interagency IW campaign plan, and c) an evaluation of the submitted IW campaign plan compared to an exemplar (provided after submission).
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
