When people hear the term "Trafficking" they automatically conjure up thoughts of drugs; however, although it includes narcotics it is not limited to narcotics. In fact, many things are trafficked including: Humans, Weapons, Money and Drugs. This may be obvious to most of you, so how does this apply to Irregular Warfare?
A country's conditions i.e. their poverty level, infrastructure, and even their rate of literacy can leave it more susceptible to political corruption, which just makes the problem worse.
So, as the military what is the next step that we have to take to achieve full collaboration with the Department of State so that we can simultaneously and somewhat paradoxically prepare for war while preventing it?
