However the United States military currently has no focus limited doctrine or techniques tactics and procedures scant training and almost no equipment or technological capabilities to enable its forces to thrive against an enemy in this type of complex operating environment. In future war the United States needs the forces training equipment and capabilities to detect and destroy subterranean threats efficiently and rapidly and force the enemy back above ground to an environment where the United States has distinct advantages and can dictate the outcome in combat. </em></p><p><br></p><p>This annotated edition illustrates the capabilities of the AI Lab for Book-Lovers to add context and ease-of-use to manuscripts.
