Subject(s): Online resources: In: Counter Terrorist Trends and Analysis Counter Terrorist Trends and Analysis . -- Vol. 8 No. 9 (Sept. 2016) p. 10-15Summary: 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.
