Terrorism -- War Without Fronts
How do we fight an underground threat, one with no defined territory, base, or -- often -- known leader? We look to military history.
The casebook example of how to manage civil unrest is the Hamlet Evaluation System (HES) developed by the United States military during its occupation of South Vietnam in the 20th Century. Since population centers in that country contained both Communist rebels and loyal citizens, the towns were ranked on a scale from 1 to 5, five being the safest. The monthly reports of local commanders, useful in Vietnam for maintaining contour maps of ideology concentration, have provided many components of the UNATCO Sector Field Report.
The modern UDU (UNATCO Deployed Unit) has been modeled on the CAP (Combined Action Platoon) deployed in Vietnam, a 15-man rifle squad responsible for a single hamlet. CAP-protected villages typically earned a 2.95 HET score, compared to a 1.6 average in the same region. CAP units performed in many mission roles, but they primarily worked with indigenous police to strengthen ideological ties. Like CAP units, UNATCO teams are primarily concerned with building safe communities.

Stopping Terror -- A New Perspective on Freedom
When one maniac can wipe out a city of twenty million with a microbe developed in his basement, a new approach to law enforcement becomes necessary. Every citizen of the world must be placed under surveillance. That means sky-cams at every intersection, computer-mediated analysis of every phone call, e-mail, and snail-mail, and a purely electronic economy in which every transaction is recorded and data-mined for suspicious activity.
We are close to achieving this goal. Some would say that human liberty has been compromised, but the reality is just the opposite. As surveillance expands, people become free from danger, free to walk alone at night, free to work in a safe place, and free to buy any legal product or service without the threat of fraud. One day every man and woman will quietly earn credits, purchase items for quiet homes on quiet streets, have cook-outs with neighbors and strangers alike, and sleep with doors and windows wide open. If that isn't the tranquil dream of every free civilization throughout history, what is?
-- Anna Navarre, Agent, UNATCO

Subject: Weekend
Hey Mom, just wanted to let you know I'll be coming home this weekend... school is still hassling me about that intrusion attempt on one of their data wells, but it wasn't as if I really did anything -- just took a look around. I might have opened a few doors to the underground tunnels, too, but that was just for fun, no big deal (one of the cataphiles I know said there might be an entrance down there). I was hoping when I got back we could talk about it, and... maybe they'd listen to you, since they don't seem disposed to listen to me.
Anyways, kiss and hug, and I'll see you soon.
Ciao,
Nic
