Rajaratnam School of International Studies KW - Terrorismo KW - Prevención KW - Estrategia militar KW - Rebeliones KW - Estado Islámico N2 - Scholars and practitioners often conflate high value targeting (HVT) in support of counter-terrorism with that of HVT counterinsurgency operations. This article presents a framework to better understand the two. It argues that, with the advent of hybrid threats such as the so-called Islamic State (IS), commanders must adopt a blended HVT approach to meet the challenge of groups which deploy both terrorist and insurgent tactics. A combination of the blended HVT approach, along with initiatives designed to counter extremist narratives, will better enable the coalition to destroy IS over the long term.
