'Who is the enemy?' This is the question most asked in modern warfare; gone are the set-piece conventional battles of the past. Once seen as secondary to more traditional conflicts, irregular warfare (as modified and refashioned since the 1990s) now presents a major challenge to the state and the bureaucratic institutions which have dominated the twentieth century, and to the politicians and civil servants who formulate policy.

For the Army's Special Forces, better known as the Green Berets, direct action means capturing or destroying weapons, equipment, and personnel. These are usually "quick-strikes," meaning a unit's goals are achieved in a short period of time before the enemy can gather counterforces. Not only do the Green Berets directly fight terrorists, they also train allied nations' forces to combat existing groups and stifle newly forming insurgencies.
