A Policy Response to Islamic State Extremist Fighter Battlefield Migration
Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs) or Foreign Extremist Fighters (FEFs) are a significant policy concern as foreign extremists return to their home states from jihadi battlefields abroad. This recently released Strategic Studies Institute monograph, A Policy Response to Islamic State Extremist Fighter Battlefield Migration by SWJ-El Centro Senior Fellow Robert J. Bunker and SWJ-El Centro Associate Alma Keshavarz analyzes and provides policy response options for US national security and Army planners concerning the potential for post-territorial caliphate battlefield migration by the sizable contingent of battle-hardened Islamic State foreign fighters situated within various remaining enclaves that remain in Syria and Iraq.
