摘要

As a result of urbanization, belligerents now have the option to tap into an unassailable source of power: the protest potential of the population. In the ever more numerous megacities of the twenty-first century, this potential allows urban-based belligerents to raise force requirements for population control measures to prohibitive levels. The defeat mechanism in this type of warfare is not decisive battle, but conflictual coexistence. It is applicable in revolutions and insurgencies as well as to state-on-state conflict. As urbanization continues, its occurrence will only increase. To cope with this evolution, land forces need to adjust their understanding of initiative. Because popular support-as a source of power-is not exposed to destruction or capture, the only way to deny it to the enemy is to acquire it for oneself. Therefore, initiatives in land operations have to focus on the comfort, hope, and anger of the megaurban population. This calls for capability development in the fields of understanding, inform and influence activities, humanitarian assistance, and the provision of urban essential services. In an urbanized world, gaining popular support is not a mechanism to consolidate the outcome of decisive military operations but a prerequisite to start them.
