ABSTRACT

As the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan continues in its tenth year, it is important to evaluate not only the short-term effectiveness, but also the long-term implications of lethal targeting – specifically the use of armed drone strikes – against high-value individuals. This paper explores the following research question: are drone strikes an effective long-term strategy in overseas contingency operations? Specifically, it examines the hypothesis that U.S. drone strikes cause an increased number of militant attacks on local governments, which is likely to contribute to local instability in the long term.

Two cases are analyzed to determine the impact of drone strikes on host governments.

The first case examines Yemen from January 2001 through September 2010. Data is evaluated on the drone strike that killed Abu Ali al-Harithi on November 3, 2002, and the U.S. cruise missile strikes on targets in Yemen on December 17, 2009, to determine the relationship between

U.S. strikes and militant attacks on the Government of Yemen. The second case evaluates sustained drone strikes in northwest Pakistan from January 2004 to September 2010 and the relationship between strikes and militant attacks on the Government of Pakistan. Each case provides a contextual narrative for the strike periods evaluated.

This study concludes that drone strikes appear to have increased the number of militant attacks on local government-related targets after isolated drone strikes in both Yemen and

Pakistan. However, in Pakistan where drone strikes have been sustained over time, militant

iii attacks against the Government of Pakistan leveled off with approximately 30 attacks per month in 2010. Without further evaluation of more variables, including domestic military operations, recruitment levels, and other political factors, it is difficult to conclude that drone strikes are solely responsible for the increased militant attacks on host nations. However, the data is highly suggestive of the causal link between strikes and attacks. Decisionmakers should be aware of this possibility and make decisions that limit the counterproductivity of drone strikes.

v CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION

As the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan continues in its tenth year, it is important to evaluate not only the short-term effectiveness, but also the long-term implications of lethal targeting – specifically the use of armed drone strikes – against high-value individuals (HVIs). The consequences of drone strikes not only affect the success of U.S. forces to eliminate enemy combatants, but also its ability to win the ―hearts and minds‖ of the local populace. U.S. drone strikes also impact the stability of host nations where such strikes are conducted. Lethal targeting should be reassessed to ensure its effectiveness in removing HVIs and that such a tactic is not counterproductive to U.S. efforts in already troubled regions, especially as President Obama seeks to de-escalate involvement in Afghanistan.

Armed drone strikes have had mixed results, but it is likely that they will continue to be used as a means of lethal targeting to disrupt insurgent networks long into the future. The death of Baitullah Mehsud, the former leader of the main Taliban militant group in Pakistan, Tehrik-i-

Taliban, demonstrates the attractiveness of drone strikes. Baitullah, along with his wife and several body guards, was killed by a U.S. drone strike on a compound in South Waziristan,

Pakistan.1 In contrast, a subsequent drone strike on Baitullah‘s more aggressive successor,

Hakimullah Mehsud, missed its intended target.2 Successful strikes have eliminated key enemy leadership while even unsuccessful ones no doubt limit the freedom of movement of enemy combatants. However, drone strikes have raised serious questions about how strikes affect enemy networks and their potential for civilian casualties.

1 Drone strikes are widely criticized for causing undue civilian casualties. A recent study estimates the actual civilian fatality rate since 2004 is 21 percent, and only six percent during

20103, but these numbers are highly disputed. Even if the correct HVI is eliminated, civilians are inevitably caught in the crosshairs of Hellfire missiles fired from Predators. Faulty intelligence has sometimes led to the wrong target being struck altogether. On February 21, 2010, 23 Afghan civilians were wrongly identified by a U.S.-operated drone as enemy combatants and killed in airstrikes. It also appears that U.S. commanders were less than forthcoming about reporting the civilian casualties until an investigation was launched.4 Such incidents often create resentment with the indigenous populations toward the U.S. and local governments.5 This and the enemy‘s demonstrated ability to replace its commanders create powerful arguments against the use of drone strikes. These types of second-order effects raise legitimate concerns about the contribution of lethal targeting to U.S. strategy.

What follows is a case study on lethal targeting that intends to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of employing the tactic of armed drone strikes in the ―Global War on Terror,‖ now dubbed Overseas Contingency Operations, and an evaluation of military doctrine that guides the HVI targeting process. This paper explores the following research question: are drone strikes an effective long-term strategy in overseas contingency operations?

Specifically, it examines the hypothesis that U.S. drone strikes cause an increased number of militant attacks on local governments, which is likely to contribute to local instability in the long term.

2 This paper begins with a review of terminology associated with drone strikes and the military doctrine that governs human targeting in overseas contingency operations in order to create the proper context for this study. It will then sample an array of academic opinion related to the use of drone strikes and how scholars suggest drones should be used, if at all. The majority of the literature on this topic focuses on the near-term significance, legality, or morality issues associated with lethal targeting. Most analysts agree that lethal targeting does much to disrupt the effectiveness and professionalism of insurgent networks in the near term, but the long-term effects caused by lethal targeting have been largely unexplored or neglected entirely in discussion because of a lack of publicly available data.

In order to test the stated hypothesis, two cases are analyzed to determine the impact of drone strikes on host governments and possible long-term effects. The first case examines

Yemen from January 2001 through September 2010. Data is evaluated on the drone strike that killed Abu Ali al-Harithi on November 3, 2002, and the U.S. cruise missile strikes on targets in

Yemen on December 17, 2009, to determine the relationship between U.S. strikes and militant attacks on the Government of Yemen. The second case evaluates sustained drone strikes in northwest Pakistan from January 2004 to September 2010 and the relationship between strikes and militant attacks on the Government of Pakistan. Each case provides a contextual narrative for each of the strike periods evaluated, as well as any recent developments associated with drone strikes within each country.

Lastly, this paper will discuss the conclusions of this research and how they should affect policy decisions. This type of research is important and timely because of the increased use of armed drone strikes by the Obama administration and the ever-increasing reliance on high-tech weapon systems for stand-off attacks by the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence

3 Agency.6 A better understanding of the consequences of drone strikes is needed to evaluate the

U.S. drone strategy and how it might be tailored to increase long-term effectiveness.

Decisionmakers should be aware of possible second-order effects from drone strikes and make decisions that limit the counterproductivity of this tactic. Ultimately, this study hopes to spur more research and encourage debate on the long-term effectiveness of drone strikes.

4 CHAPTER II. TERMINOLOGY AND MILITARY DOCTRINE

Drone strikes are used in both counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations.

Counterterrorism (CT) operations are enemy-centric and seek to kill enemy leaders and destroy their organizations.7 These types of offensive operations are highly selective in their target selections and require accurate, up-to-date intelligence. Counterinsurgency (COIN) operations, on the other hand, are population-centric8 – designed to win the ―hearts and minds‖ of the local populace. Drone strikes are often used to create a ―safe-enough environment‖ for COIN operations to take place.9 The flexibility to move between CT and COIN operations as the environment dictates is essential in modern warfare. This combination and balance of operations is being conducted in Afghanistan and has been described as hybrid warfare – the combination of traditional warfare mixed with CT and COIN operations.10

Targeting in general refers to the process used by military and nonmilitary agencies to identify and prioritize targets of tactical, operational, and strategic value. Targeting is done in both CT and COIN operations. Targets can be entities or objects. These include both kinetic targets, such as individuals, and stationary targets, such as lines of communication or hardened facilities. Different terms are often used to describe a target‘s value. For example, targets with tactical and operational value are often called high-value targets (HVTs), while targets with strategic value are called high-payoff targets (HPTs). Targets referring to individuals, such as an

7 David Kilcullen, The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One (New York: Oxford University Press, 2009), xv. 8 Kilcullen, The Accidental Guerrilla, xv. 9 There is much disagreement over the type of operations that should be conducted in Afghanistan. Should operations be more CT-centric or COIN-centric and what is the proper balance between the two? Vice President Joe Biden advocates for what has been dubbed counterterrorism plus (CT plus) in which lethal targeting is used to root out terrorists, while small contingents of U.S. forces are used to train indigenous security forces. For more on this argument, see Bob Woodward, Obama’s Wars (New York:Simon & Schuster, 2010), 234-235. 10 Frank Hoffman, ―Are We Ready for Hybrid Wars?,‖ Small Wars Journal, online edition, http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2008/02/are-we-ready-for-hybrid-wars/ (accessed October 1, 2010).

5 enemy commander, are often referred to as high-value individuals (HVIs).11 However, these distinctions are not always made outside of doctrinal literature.

Militants or enemy combatants are sometimes categorized as HVIs. These individuals actively engage in hostile activities and represent a threat to U.S. forces and its allies.12 Such terms are murky. For instance, does a person who sympathizes with an HVI also qualify as an enemy combatant? This distinction is important when determining the status of family members who are often co-located with HVIs, as in the case of Baitullah Mehsud‘s wife. Also, does a person who shelters an HVI in their home qualify as an enemy combatant? How about if that person was coerced into sheltering the HVI? These are pertinent issues that must be resolved during the targeting process. Unavoidably, conduct of most targeting operations requires some risk to non-combatants or bystanders.

HVI targeting, also called personality targeting, is the extensive process used to identify, locate, and remove HVIs from the battlefield. The process involves building ―target packets‖ that rely heavily on human intelligence (HUMINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) sources. Target packets are submitted and reviewed by a joint military board before an HVI can be placed on an approved targeting list called the Joint Priority Effects List (JPEL). Once on the list, units can develop conceptions of operations (CONOPs) that involve an HVI. Once a

CONOP has been approved by senior military officials, steps can be taken to remove the HVI from the battlefield. The U.S. Army and Marine Corps‘s Counterinsurgency Field Manual

11 For more information on the targeting process, see Joint Publication 3-60, Joint Targeting, Washington, D.C.: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, April 13, 2007. Henceforth referred to as JP 3-60. 12 Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency, U.S. Department of the Army, December 15, 2006, 7-6 – 7-7. Henceforth referred to as FM 3-24.

6 describes the process as decide, detect, deliver, assess – decide what targets need to be engaged, detect the target‘s activities, deliver the operation, and assess the effects of the operation.13

Different targeting options are developed based on the desired effects on the battlefield through the HVI targeting process. These options include both lethal and non-lethal targeting operations. Lethal targeting includes such operations as kill/capture missions (missions that involve physically going after an HVI14), precision air strikes from manned aircraft, and armed drone strikes – all with the intent of permanently removing an HVI from the battlefield. These operations are intended to ―decapitate‖ enemy leadership to disrupt the entire network or organization. Operations that kill HVIs are sometimes referred to as ―targeted killings.‖15 Non- lethal targeting includes a variety of information operations (IO), to include psychological operations (PSYOPs), with the intent of disrupting the functions of an HVI. Non-lethal targeting provides ―creative‖ options to disrupt enemy activity that, in many cases, are just as effective as lethal targeting. Both forms of HVI targeting have been widely used to disrupt both al-Qaeda

(AQ) and Taliban (TB) operations and networks in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Hybrid warfare utilizes lethal targeting of HVIs as a means to disrupt enemy operations, day-to-day facilitation of supplies, and network command and control by removing the key leadership of insurgent groups. An armed drone strike is a tactic used in lethal targeting and involves missiles being fired from platforms called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The Predator and Reaper platforms are examples of armed UASs commonly used in Afghanistan and Pakistan. These platforms conduct

13 FM 3-24, 5-29. 14 These operations have the benefit of physical presence on the ground and can gather valuable intelligence to exploit the network or mitigate negative perception of local populace. This is an important difference between kill/capture missions and drone strikes. 15 Most of the literature uses the term ―targeted killings,‖ which is the same as lethal targeting. Targeted killings include the use of drone strikes, but also a variety of other operations. This study‘s main focus is drone strikes.

7 reconnaissance missions, gathering real-time information about the battlefield, as well as attack missions.16 UASs offer the vantage point of ―eyes in the sky‖ and agility to adjust focus based on the dynamic requirements of the battlefield. This study focuses on lethal targeting, specifically drone strikes, which is but one small subset of HVI targeting.

Armed drone strikes provide an added option in areas where other lethal targeting methods are not feasible or available. For example, the high altitudes and mountainous terrain of

Afghanistan and tribal regions of Pakistan create hard-to-reach locations where enemy fighters often take refuge. Conventional forces may simply not be able to reach such locations. Terrain may also restrict troop infiltration/exfiltration capabilities and highly increases the dangers of kill/capture missions conducted by special operations forces. Additionally, any type of operation takes valuable time to plan and execute. Kinetic targets are often ―targets of opportunity‖ and do not stay stationary long enough for an operation to be thoroughly planned and executed. Thus, armed drone strikes are appealing in certain circumstances where other options are limited or simply non-existent.

However, there is ongoing controversy that surrounds the use of armed drone strikes in the legal realm. Senior military commanders inside Afghanistan are often the approving authority when conducting strikes. However, strikes conducted inside Pakistan are usually controlled by the CIA. Drone strikes conducted inside Pakistan or elsewhere may be considered unlawful or a type of covert action because of the political sensitivity that surrounds what some argue are assassinations in a sovereign country. Covert action is authorized by the President of the United States and carried out by the CIA. It is defined as, ―an activity or activities of the U.S.

Government to influence political, economic or military conditions abroad, where it is intended

16 The airstrike conducted on February 21, 2010, that killed 23 Afghan civilians was the result of faulty intelligence passed by a drone operator on a reconnaissance mission. The drone did not conduct the actual airstrike in this instance.

8 that the role of the U.S. Government will not be apparent or acknowledged publicly.‖17 However, the U.S. is the only country believed to pilot drones in Pakistan and CIA-sponsored drone strikes have been widely reported by the media. Debate continues, though, as to the legality of such strikes when conducted on the Pakistani side of the border.18 The legality of armed drone strikes is a valid concern but largely beyond the scope of this study.

In addition, ethical concerns are often raised when discussing armed drone strikes.

Collateral damage, or the unintended injury or death to persons or objects unrelated to the intended target19, results when HVIs are wrongly identified or co-located among non- combatants. This is usually the result of poor intelligence gathered through HUMINT or

SIGINT. Armed drone strikes have also been criticized for being ―stand-off‖ attacks that afford a noncommittal attitude toward killing – the ―Playstation mentality.‖20 An operator of an armed drone has little to no risk of physical harm when targeting an HVI. These issues, as well as others, raise ethical concerns, which are also beyond the scope of this paper, but nonetheless very important questions to consider.

The assess activity in the HVI targeting process (FM 3-24), mentioned above, is intended to evaluate an operation‘s progress and, ultimately, its success or failure. With the amount of controversy involved with armed drone strikes, it is important that the benefits of this tactic outweigh its costs. Measures of effectiveness (MOEs) are metrics established to determine the level of success or failure associated with each operation. These likely include, but are not limited to the following: the most obvious – the ability to positively identify the target to ensure

17 Mark. M. Lowenthal, Intelligence: From Secrets to Policy, 4th ed. (Washington, D.C.: Congressional Quarterly Press, 2008), 165. 18 Shane Harris, ―Are Drone Strikes Murder?‖ National Journal, January 9, 2010, 26. 19 JP 3-60, I-11. 20 ―UN urges end to CIA drone attacks: Human rights official says programme creates ‗Playstation mentality‘ towards killing,‖ Aljazeera, June 3, 2010, online English edition, http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2010/06/20106325050780296.html (accessed October 29, 2010).

9 that the correct target was engaged; zero or limited collateral damage associated with the target and the surrounding area; measurable, quantifiable degradation of enemy capabilities, such as an immediate decrease in attacks on friendly forces; and the ability to manage public perceptions.21

This last point is largely controlled by the ability to limit civilian deaths and the capacity to meaningfully conduct IO before, during, and after an armed drone strike.

FM 3-24 lists several possible MOEs or metrics to assess the consequences of the HVI targeting process. These metrics are suggested for use when conducting after-action reviews of a strike operation. These metrics include:

1. Changes in local attitudes (friendliness toward U.S. and host nation (HN) personnel and willingness to provide logistical support to insurgents), 2. Changes in public perceptions (reputation or creditability of U.S. and HN personnel), 3. Changes in the quality or quantity of information provided by individuals or groups, 4. Changes in the economic or political situation of an area (including stability of local governments), 5. Changes in insurgent patterns (freedom of movement and ability to recruit), 6. Captured and killed insurgents, and 7. Captured equipment and documents.22

However, the above metrics and the assess activity of the HVI targeting process in general has proven the most difficult and most often ignored step. This is because the data is hard to gather or non-existent and, if available, hard to analyze and even harder to interpret.

The civilian death rate might provide the most concrete measurement of success, but tends to focus solely on short-term effectiveness with the consequence of being shortsighted. The civilian death rate is usually measured as a percentage of civilians killed to the number of enemy combatants. However, this has proven highly difficult to accurately measure, in part because an enemy combatant is hard to define, as previously discussed. U.S. commanders have it in their

21 JP 3-60 suggests that metrics are developed to determine if operations are properly linked to the overall strategy and the larger hierarchy of operational and national objectives. These metrics can be both objective and subjective, inductive and deductive. For more on assessment metrics and measurements, see JP 3-60, C6-C8. 22 FM 3-24, 5-31.

10 best interests to report the civilian death rate low to give the appearance that drone strikes are effective and properly conducted. On the other hand, enemy fighters want to make drone strikes appear disproportionate and heavy handed. TB disinformation campaigns continue to report large numbers of civilian casualties after a strike has been conducted. Disinformation campaigns also deny the death of HVIs in strikes to mitigate the loss of leadership and morale to enemy organizations. Reports from both sides make it hard to legitimately establish an accurate civilian death rate.

The ability to manage perceptions is an important determinant in the long-term success or failure of an armed drone strike. If the local populace views an armed drone strike as a positive development toward increased security and stability, then it is more likely that the tactic will be viewed as a long-term success. On the other hand, if friendly forces are unable to control, influence, or manage the local populace‘s perception of an armed drone strike, it is less likely that the tactic will be viewed as a success, even if the other MOEs were properly met. Military commanders are likely to be concerned with the success of drone strikes in the short- or near- term, which can be defined as the length of time served by one military unit, rather than the long- term that can be defined as the duration of the entire campaign. Rather gauging short-term or long-term success, armed drone strikes cannot be evaluated in isolation, otherwise important variables are missed, which are likely to generate second-order effects.

Second-order effects are indirect results of drone strikes, often unintended. These can be both positive and negative and are largely psychological. Unfortunately, second-order effects are largely beyond the control of friendly forces (or those that conducted the strike) because of hard- to-reach locations where drone strikes are usually conducted and the difficulty in managing perceptions, especially over time, of those affected by strikes. Second-order effects might

11 include the creation of fear because of the perception that friendly forces are omnipresent, thus discouraging enemy fighters from engaging coalition troops, or the creation of deep resentment among the local populace when family members are killed, thus creating feelings of revenge and increased radical ideology. Desired second-order effects might include strengthened local governments and deterrence of future acts of violence, while undesired second-order effects might be the dispersion of militants to other geographical locations or the ability to recruit and generate volunteers. Public opinion polls may be one possible way to measure second-order effects. Potential second-order effects must be considered in a hybrid warfare environment because of the need to stabilize local governance and the necessity to separate combatants and non-combatants. Therefore, armed drone strikes cannot be conducted or evaluated in isolation, which adds to the complexity of determining their overall effectiveness.

12 CHAPTER III. CONTROVERSY OF DRONE STRIKES

There exists a wide spectrum of opinion among academics and practitioners on the use of armed drone strikes. Proponents often refer to the ability of armed drone strikes to disrupt an insurgent group by eliminating important individuals who are responsible for the group‘s day-today functions. Critics, on the other hand, often cite legality or ethicality when arguing against the use of armed drones. Since legal and ethical issues are not the focus of this paper, this review highlights the main arguments for and against the use of armed drone strikes. Both sides of the debate produce compelling arguments that will help provide insight into the long-term effectiveness of HVI targeting. This review of the literature samples different opinions and facts that exist to appropriately frame the stated research question. It starts with advocates of armed drone strikes, moves into those who take a middle-of-the-ground approach, and ends with those in opposition to them.

Dr. Christine Fair, a professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University, is a staunch supporter of the use of drone strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan.23 Fair argues that drone strikes are more discriminate than the alternatives to eliminating terrorists, such as

Pakistani CT operations in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), which have displaced millions. Fair claims data is either nonexistent or unreliable to determine the civilian fatality rate (most often cited by drone critics) and the indigenous Afghan and Pakistani opinion on U.S. drone strikes. Fair suggests that the U.S. should claim responsibility for drone strikes in

Pakistan (considered covert action and not publicly acknowledged) and publicly discuss the costs and benefits of their use. This would allow for more available data and future studies of the data, which Fair thinks would justify the use of drone strikes and appease the critics.

23 Christine Fair, ―Drone Wars,‖ Foreign Policy, May 28, 2010, online edition, http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/05/28/drone_wars (accessed February 7, 2011).

13 However, even among practitioners of drone strikes, there is no agreed-upon template for how such action should fit into a larger strategic context. James Garrett, a U.S. Army colonel and commander of Combined Joint Task Force-76 during Operation Enduring Freedom, writes a thought-provoking thesis on the HVI targeting process that discusses the principles of military necessity – discrimination and proportionality.24 He suggests that a commander in charge of HVI targeting should ask himself two questions: does the military advantage gained outweigh the disadvantages, and are the military advantages gained worth the potential civilian casualties? He also recommends that a targeting section be included in all division staffs prior to deployment.25

Garrett‘s rhetorical questions reveal the military dilemma in HVI targeting, which no doubt is similar to the dilemma faced by the CIA when conducting drone strikes in Pakistan.

Several studies have been conducted that speak to the military advantages gained by armed drone strikes. Dr. Alex Wilner, a senior researcher at the Center for Security Studies in

Zurich, Switzerland, conducted a study that measures the Taliban‘s effectiveness, professionalism, and motivation following the elimination of individual leaders and operators in

Afghanistan.26 The study reveals that the level of violence generally increases following a strike on insurgents; however, the lethality of violence decreases because less-sophisticated forms of violence are used. Professionalism in the Taliban ranks decreases because of loss in expertise and charismatic leadership. The study also suggests that targeted killings reduce the Taliban‘s motivation to fight by requiring the group to reorganize and causes suspicion among members.

Wilner concludes by proposing that military advantages be measured by the type and nature of

24 James F. Garrett, ―Necessity and Proportionality in the Operation Enduring Freedom VII Campaign,‖ U.S. Army War College (March 2008). 25 The period covered in this thesis was OEF VII (2006-2007) and much has changed in the HVI targeting process since then. I was attached to Combined Joint Task Force 101 during OEF IX (2008-2009) and the targeting section was well established within the Joint Interagency Intelligence Support Element (JIISE) element at that point. A division targeting section was also maintained pre- and post-deployment cycles. 26 Alex S. Wilner, ―Targeted Killings in Afghanistan: Measuring Coercion and Deterrence in Counterterrorism and Counterinsurgency,‖ Studies in Conflict & Terrorism 33, no. 4. (March 2010): 307-329.

14 violence and how it changes over time. Both Garrett and Wilner appear to support the use of drones only if certain prerequisites are met.

Wilner‘s conclusions seem to reaffirm Dr. Daniel Byman‘s study of the Israeli experience using targeted killings. Byman, a professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown

University and a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, claims that as Israel increased its targeted killing campaign of Hamas during the intifada, the number of Hamas attacks on Israeli targets increased as well. However, Hamas attacks were far less lethal than before the targeted killing campaign – less Israeli civilians were killed as a result.27 Byman argues that sustained strikes on HVIs can disrupt militant groups when high-level leadership is replaced by less experienced fighters, who are more likely to make operational and strategic mistakes.28 Byman also advises that targeted killings may be used to eliminate numerous HVIs but will never solve complicated conflicts and urges caution when using drone strikes.29

Dr. Paul Davis and Brian Jenkins, both senior researchers at the RAND Corporation, conducted a study on ways to influence and deter terrorism. The article is not specifically on drone strikes, but both authors seem to agree with Byman on his last sentiment. Davis and

Jenkins admit that the U.S. must crush terrorist organizations such as AQ and that this will require a ―broad-front strategy‖ that attacks all vulnerable aspects of an enemy‘s system.

However, Davis and Jenkins are also careful to point out that, in order to achieve lasting results, the U.S. must examine the root causes of extremism if future acts of terrorism are to be

15 deterred.30 This indicates that drone strikes alone cannot defeat terrorist organizations or quell an insurgency. Drone strikes may help to defeat an enemy, but only when used in conjunction with a larger strategy. The bottom line is that there are no quick fixes in hybrid warfare and drone strikes are no exception.

Even though there are some short-term military advantages to be gained by armed drone strikes, there are long-term strategic disadvantages that must be considered as well. Dr. David

Kilcullen, president and chief executive officer of Caerus Associates and former Australian

Army infantry officer, argues that drone strikes may be justified in certain circumstances, but the effects of drone strikes on local stability are always negative.31 Kilcullen says that extremism and punitive attacks are mutually reinforcing acts; drone strikes are conducted to get rid of extremism, while extremism is created in response to drone strikes. This starts to hint at the possible second-order effects that might result from a drone strike, or what Garrett might call a

―military disadvantage‖ that should weigh into a commander‘s decision when authorizing a strike.

Kilcullen and Andrew Exum, a fellow at the Center for a New American Security and former U.S. Army officer, argue that drone strikes isolate the local populace, instead of the HVI, and forces them to join or at least sympathize with extremists.32 This happens because U.S. forces are not physically present to mitigate any ―blowback‖ and because of civilian casualties that drone strikes cause. Drone strikes have also become widely unpopular among the Pakistani public because of constant media coverage that tends to exaggerate civilian deaths. Kilcullen and

16 Exum also claim that drone strikes have been conducted outside a coherent information campaign and that no real effort has been made to understand the ―tribal dynamics of the local population‖ where these strikes take place. Both authors seem to suggest that drone strikes should be limited to the most prominent HVIs, such as Osama bin Laden, and that the primary focus should instead be on protecting the local population and isolating extremists by building local partnerships.

An unprecedented database and analysis of drone strikes by the New America Foundation seem to confirm Kilcullen‘s assertion of mutually reinforcing acts. Peter Bergen, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, and Katherine Tiedemann, a policy analyst at the New America

Foundation, claim that the drone campaign is killing significant numbers of militants, but that such losses are clearly being absorbed.33 CT officials estimate that 100 to 150 Westerners traveled to Pakistan for terror training in 2009.34 Bergen and Tiedemann also state that the unpopularity of drone strikes with the Pakistani public has served as a recruiting tool for extremist groups. Drone strikes might not be viewed as unpopular if the actual civilian fatality rate, estimated at 25 percent, where more widely known and accepted in Pakistan. But this popular belief that drone strikes cause undue civilian casualties has taken hold in Pakistan.35 This is no doubt an unintended consequence of the drone campaign. Bergen and Tiedemann conclude their article by admitting that drone strikes may be the ―only viable option‖ for the U.S. to disrupt militants in the tribal regions along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

Baldor, ―Terror Training Camps Smaller, Harder to Target,‖ Associated Press, November 9, 2009, http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=9031020 (accessed October 29, 2010), as cited in ―The Year of the Drone.‖ 35 A public opinion survey estimates that more than three-quarters of FATA residents oppose U.S.drone strikes. See ―Public Opinion in Pakistan‘s Tribal Regions,‖ New America Foundation, September 28, 2010, http://newamerica.net/publications/policy/public_opinion_in_pakistan_s_tribal_regions (accessed February 8, 2011).

17 Dr. Fawaz Gerges, a professor at the University of London, reaffirms the absorption claim by stating that homegrown terrorism can be linked to armed drone strikes.36 Gerges cites the case of Faisal Shahzad, the failed Times Square bomber, and his exposure to drone strikes in

Pakistan that led him to extremism. He also lists Najibullah Zazi and Army Major Nidal Hasan as examples of homegrown extremists influenced by drone strikes. Gerges claims that drone strikes do more to harm U.S. reputation in the Muslim world than the benefits gained by employing such a tactic. He claims this is because more and more low- to mid-level HVIs, ―foot soldiers,‖ have been targeted since 2008, which is supported by data analyzed by the New

America Foundation.37 Gerges warns that, ―Drone attacks have become a rallying cry for Taliban militants, feeding the flow of volunteers into a small, loose network that is harder to trace even than shadowy Al Qaeda.‖ For similar reasons, both Kilcullen and Gerges adamantly discourage the use of drone strikes.

Currently, there appear to be more questions than answers in regard to the use of armed drones. Garrett affirms that, ―The use of force still remains a complicated paradox without a scientific checklist for employment. The use of force during COIN operations in particular remains very much a commander‘s art fraught with challenges and difficulties.‖38 Armed drone strikes are included in those challenges. Garrett acknowledges that U.S. forces rarely conduct sensitive site exploitations after a strike because of the difficult terrain, the fact that most strikes were conducted at night, and that no U.S. personnel were in the vicinity to conduct such

36 Fawaz Gerges, ―The Truth About Drones,‖ Newsweek, May 30, 2010, online edition, http://www.newsweek.com/2010/05/30/the-truth-about-drones.html (accessed February 7, 2011). 37 It is estimated that only 2 percent of militants killed since 2004 have been leaders of al-Qaeda, Taliban, or other militant groups. For more statistics on drone strikes in the tribal regions of Pakistan, see Peter Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann, ―The Hidden War,‖ Foreign Policy, December 21, 2010, online edition, http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/12/21/the_hidden_war?page=0,5 (accessed February 8, 2011). 38 Garrett, ―Necessity and Proportionality,‖ 1.

18 assessments.39 This is no doubt the case in tribal regions of Pakistan and Yemen where the U.S. has tried to maintain plausible deniability.

Matthew Frankel, a Federal Executive Fellow at the Brookings Institution, goes even further to accuse U.S. commanders of being too quick to claim ―degradation of the group‖ after a strike without really understanding enemy dynamics and possible second-order effects. He says a possible second-order effect is a more radicalized insurgency less willing to negotiate a cease fire. Thus, drone strikes may provide military gain, but create political loss in the long term. He suggests the most important improvements that need to be made in U.S.-run HVI campaigns is a strengthened relationship with host governments and coordinated HVI operations within a larger strategy.40 If there is one thing that scholars and practitioners agree on it is that drone strikes do not work in a vacuum and that a well coordinated politico-military strategy is needed.

The dynamics of modern warfare, especially in a hybrid warfare environment, make the use of armed drone strikes an enduring tactic of reality – hence the continued use regardless of the controversy that surrounds the tactic. It is unlikely that the Obama administration will seek an all or nothing policy toward drones in the near future. Nor would such a policy be acceptable to military commanders who rely on drone strikes to create a safe-enough environment for COIN operations in Afghanistan or CIA officers in Pakistan. Therefore, a more balanced, realistic, and calculated use of armed drones is needed to replace the polarity of use suggested above. But how can those who authorize an armed drone strike know that such a tactic is not, or will not be in the future, counterproductive? Will the long-term effects outweigh the military advantages gained in the near term? These are all questions that need to be asked. It might seem that the most logical

19 step would be to establish set guidelines and MOEs that govern when and how drones strikes should be used. As the literature suggests above, this has proven more complicated than one might think.

As James Roche and Barry Watts emphasize in their classic work, ―In military affairs, the most obvious or readily quantifiable measures may not necessarily be the right ones at all.‖41

Students of military history know that measurable effects are not always what matter in the long term. The Doolittle raid on Tokyo and Allied bombing campaign against Germany during WWII come to mind. Two lessons learned from the American bombing campaign during Vietnam is that not every adversary is susceptible to coercion by air power (today‘s drone strikes) and that coercion based on military vulnerabilities (enemy leadership in the case of drone strikes) will not work if adversary‘s strategy is based on something else, such as guerilla warfare.42 These same complexities exist today with the U.S. drone campaign. The study that follows attempts to use the guidance of Roche and Watts to examine the use of drone strikes in overseas contingency operations.

20 CHAPTER IV. METHODOLOGY

This research paper uses a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach to examine two different geographical case studies. The first case examines Yemen from January 2001 through

September 2010. Data is evaluated on the strike that killed Abu Ali al-Harithi on November 3,

2002, and the U.S. cruise missile strikes on targets in Yemen on December 17, 2009, to determine the relationship between U.S. strikes and militant attacks on the Government of

Yemen (GoY). The second case evaluates the sustained drone campaign in northwest Pakistan from January 2004 to September 2009 and the relationship between strikes and militant attacks on the Government of Pakistan (GoP).

Each case establishes a contextual narrative to examine the graphed data on U.S. drone strikes and militant attacks on local government-related targets. Each case then discusses how the U.S. handled the immediate aftermath of the strike(s), responses from local governments, and public opinion (if available). These two measurements, one quantitative and one qualitative, will help to determine long-term effects of drone strikes on local governance and stability. Findings will be briefly evaluated against FM 3-24 metrics (discussed in chapter on Terminology and

Military Doctrine) to determine if such metrics are appropriate.

Hypothesis

U.S. drone strikes cause an increased number of militant attacks (successful and unsuccessful) on local governments, which could cause local instability in the long term.

Data and Variables

The drone strike in Yemen is particularly instructive because the drone strike that killed al-Harithi was largely conducted in isolation (specific individual was targeted, no U.S. forces on the ground before, and no sustained strikes afterward), which eliminates multiple intervening

21 variables. The later U.S. cruise missile strike in 2009 is also illustrative because the targets appeared to be the al-Qaeda organization, rather than any individual. Data on the strikes (Roggio

2009, Miniter 2004, Calhoun 2003) was combined with data on militant attacks against the GoY for the year before and after each strike. Attack data was compiled from the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism‘s Global Terrorism Database (GTD) for attacks from January 2001 through December 2003, while data from January 2004 through

September 2010 was compiled from National Counterterrorism Center's Worldwide Incidents

Tracking System (WITS). Attacks were filtered to show only attacks that targeted government officials, government buildings, police, and military personnel (see Appendix A for militant attack in Yemen). This data was then graphed to examine the relationship between U.S. strikes and local militant attacks. Reports of how the U.S. handled the aftermath of the strike and GoY responses from credible open source data and scholarly work were also evaluated to identify possible second-order effects, such as the development of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

(AQAP).

The tribal regions in Pakistan make a unique case study because of sustained drone strikes in OEF near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Data was combined on U.S. drone strikes from the New America Foundation (Bergen and Tiedemann January 2011) with data on militant attacks against the GoP from January 2004 through September 2010 from the WITS database

(see Appendix B for drone strikes in Pakistan and Appendix C for militant attacks in Pakistan).

These attacks were filtered to only show attacks that targeted government officials, government buildings, police, and military personnel. This data was then graphed to show the relationship between strikes and violence for the time period January 2004 through September 2010 (because

22 of availability of data). Reports of U.S.-Pakistan relations and public opinion are also evaluated to determine effects of the U.S. drone campaign over the long term.

Limitations

It is recognized that this type of research design is susceptible to sampling errors. The reliance on GTD and WITS for data creates possibilities for exclusion of important variables and misinterpretation of the data without the author‘s knowledge. It is also possible that the author‘s own biases may unintentionally skew conclusions in favor of or too strongly toward the research hypothesis. However, every effort was made to eliminate bias and make objective conclusions about the data, while being forthcoming about weaknesses in design and suggesting alternatives to future research.

23 CHAPTER V. CASE STUDIES AND FINDINGS

Yemen case

Yemen has suffered from inadequate governance, limited natural resources, Islamist terrorism, and domestic secessionist groups for years.43 These factors have adversely affected the security situation in the country, which in recent years have come to the forefront of international concern. Since the mid-1970s, Yemen has been fractured primarily between two large tribal confederations – Hashid and Bakil. The Bakil tribal confederation lost many of its positions of authority after the country‘s civil war (1962-1970) and has opposed government rule in Sanaa ever since. During the 1980s, Yemeni volunteers traveled to Afghanistan to fight against the

Soviet occupation, which battle-hardened many of the Yemeni Islamists who returned and assimilated into various tribal networks.44 Some of these tribal networks have received outside military and financial assistance from an array of sources, including Osama bin Laden‘s al-

Qaeda (AQ), that aid their opposition to Sanaa rule. This assistance from AQ created tribal networks sympathetic to the AQ cause. Thus, Yemeni tribal networks continued with attempts to overthrow President Salah, but also started to develop more global aims by the mid-1990s.

By early 2000, AQ sympathizers in Yemen were ready to conduct their first transnational terrorist attack. The first attempt to sink USS The Sullivans was unsuccessful when the boat carrying explosives sank before reaching its target in Aden, Yemen, on January 3, 2000.

However, the second attempt to target a U.S. vessel was successful. On November 12, 2000, a suicide attack against the USS Cole resulted in the deaths of 17 American sailors and injury of 39 others. The third terrorist attack targeted a French oil tanker, the Limburg, in the Gulf of Aden on

43 For more on the challenges Yemen faces, see Jessica T. Mathews, ―Forward,‖ in Yemen on the Brink, ed. Christopher Boucek and Marina Ottaway (Washington, DC: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2010), vii-ix. 44 Mark N. Katz, ―Breaking the Yemen-Al Qaeda Connection,‖ Current History 102, no. 660 (January 2003): 40-43.

24 October 6, 2002. One crew member was killed and 12 others were injured.45 AQ claimed responsibility for these attacks, but such attacks would not have been possible without the facilitation of Yemeni nationals.

One of these AQ sympathizers was Abu Ali al-Harithi (also known as Qaed Salem Sinan al-Harethi). Al-Harithi was a respected veteran of the Afghan war and a local sheikh from Bil

Harith in northern Shabwa.46 He was also a lieutenant of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri‘s, the Saudi

AQ mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing. Al-Harithi was suspected of planning the USS

Cole incident. After the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on September 11, 2001, the U.S. wanted to increase its global reach in its fight against terrorism.47 On Sunday, November 3, 2002, a U.S.

Predator, being flown from a control center in Djibouti, fired a Hellfire missile at a car identified to be carrying al-Harithi. Reports later confirmed al-Harithi‘s death, along with five other men.48

The drone strike was largely praised for its ability to eliminate a terrorist who had managed to evade local security forces and its ability to limit collateral damage. The other five men in the car were accused of terrorist ties as well. Four were members of the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army and the fifth was an American citizen who recruited American Muslims to attend AQ training camps.49 The U.S. eagerly reported its successful drone strike in Yemen to American journalists without consulting Yemeni officials.

The aftermath of the al-Harithi strike presents an instructive case on the use of drone strikes. In the year following the 2002 strike, militants conducted four attacks against the GoY.

Christopher Boucek and Marina Ottoway (Washington, DC: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2010), 34. 46 Matthew Steele (fellow graduate student at Georgetown University who studied in Yemen), interview by author, Washington, DC, February 1, 2011. 47 Seymour M. Hersh, ―Manhunt,‖ The New Yorker 78, no. 40 (December 23, 2002): 66-74. 48 Richard Miniter, Shadow War: The Untold Story of How Bush is Winning the War of Terror (Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing, 2004), 117-118. 49 Hersh, ―Manhunt,‖ 66.

25 Three attacks were against government-related targets and one against police forces. The attacks used a combination of bombings and armed assault and resulted in the deaths of two people and injury of two others. At the same time, the GoY also was largely successful at rounding up several suspected AQ members in the wake of the al-Harithi strike. At least 17 people were arrested, mainly from the northern province of Marib.50 On November 25, 2003, Yemeni officials also arrested al-Harithi‘s replacement, Muhammad Hamdi al-Ahdal.51 It is probable that these arrests deterred any retaliatory attacks against the GoY. In fact, no militant attacks against the GoY occurred in 2004 (see Figure 1 below).

It is worth mentioning that the unilateral decision by the U.S. to make public the strike against al-Harithi further undermined the GoY. Yemeni officials had delayed making an announcement about the strike until it could coordinate its message with the U.S. However, the

U.S. made its decision to release the story to journalists without consent, which caused Yemeni officials to be ―angry and dismayed‖ at Washington‘s decision. The deputy secretary-general complained that the Bush administration was too eager to claim success.52 This may seem trivial, but in a country where the government‘s rule is limited to the capital city, public perception is highly important to its ability to govern and dispel opposition.

Analyzing the al-Harithi case in isolation would suggest that this strike was successful in eliminating a terrorist with connections to Osama bin Laden and the USS Cole bombing.

Retaliatory attacks against the GoY were minimal with low casualties. However, terrorism originating in Yemen has only increased since then. Loose tribal networks are now more connected to the regional AQ affiliate – al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) – and attacks

50 Justine Blau, ―Al-Qaeda Suspect Arrested in Yemen: Yemeni Authorities Nab Man Wanted by the FBI,‖ Associated Press, April 5, 2003, http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/05/world/main547884.shtml (accessed February 26, 2011). 51 Harris, ―Exploiting Grievances,‖ 34. 52 Hersh, ―Manhunt,‖ 74.

26 against the GoY have dramatically increased. Therefore, it is useful to evaluate Yemen‘s track record since the al-Harithi strike and how U.S. drone strikes might contribute to further domestic instability.

Yemen remained fairly stable from 2003-2007 in regard to militant attacks against the government (see Figure 1 below). This can be credited to its crack down on terrorist and militant leaders. However, on February 3, 2006, 23 AQ members escaped from a high-security prison in

Sanaa. The group consisted mostly of Saudi and Yemeni Islamist militants. It is suspected that the Yemeni security forces, heavily infiltrated by Salafists sympathetic to AQ, helped orchestrate the prison break. These escapees reinvigorated AQ in Yemen, which proceeded to target the

GoY and Western interests. In January 2009, Saudi and Yemeni branches of AQ merged to form

AQAP53, which the CIA has claimed to be the most urgent threat to U.S. national security.54

Domestic militant attacks against the GoY increased during 2008 and 2009. On

December 17, 2009, the U.S. carried out two cruise missile attacks against AQ training camps in

Sanaa and Abyan provinces. The GoY claimed that 34 AQ militants were killed, while local leaders claimed more than 60 civilians were killed. AQAP responded immediately with retaliatory attacks against government forces in Abyan province and elsewhere.55 Militant attacks were already on the rise, but a 226 percent increase in militant attacks on the GoY occurred the year following the cruise missile strike (see Figure 1 below). This suggests that a correlation might exist between U.S. strikes and increased militant attacks.

53 For a timeline on AQAP‘s development, see Alistair Harris, ―Exploiting Grievances: Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,‖ in Yemen on the Brink, ed. Christopher Boucek and Marina Ottaway (Washington, DC: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2010), 34-35. 54 Greg Miller and Peter Finn, ―CIA: Al-Qaeda in Yemen Now Biggest Threat,‖ Washington Post, August 25, 2010, http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/08/25/politics/washingtonpost/main6803849.shtml (accessed February 26, 2011). 55 Bill Roggio, ―US launches cruise missile strikes against al Qaeda in Yemen,‖ The Long War Journal, December 19, 2009, http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2009/12/us_launches_cruise_m.php (accessed February 26, 2011).

Figure 2 below shows the twelve month period around the cruise missile strikes in 2009.

The strikes caused an immediate decrease in militant attacks against the GoY, but that quickly changed after several months. The four month period between January and April 2010 had 11 militant attacks against the GoY, while the four month period between May and August 2010 saw 52 attacks – a 373 percent increase. Militant attacks against the GoY continued to increase in 2010, although it is hard to conclude long-term causation between strikes and attacks.

28 These findings indicate that U.S. strikes inside Yemen have mixed results. The U.S. drone strike in 2002 against al-Harithi can be ruled a success for eliminating a terrorist with AQ connections. However, this strike was conducted at a time when AQ in Yemen was loosely connected and decentralized at best. The GoY was able to use such gains to arrest many suspected AQ members to prevent further attacks for several years. The 2006 prison break likely created the conditions for increased militant attacks on the GoY by 2008 and the centralization of

AQAP. The U.S. cruise missile strikes in 2009 decreased militant attacks immediately after the strikes, but greatly increased militant attacks against the GoY in succeeding months.

Additionally, militant attacks reached an all-time high with 75 attacks against the GoY recorded in 2010. Therefore, drone strikes over the long term may have contributed to increased militant attacks in Yemen.

Furthermore, AQAP has continued to conduct transnational terrorism, as well as domestic attacks. On November 5, 2010, AQAP claimed responsibility for both a parcel bomb plot uncovered on October 29, 2010, and for the crash of a United Parcel Service Inc. cargo plane in Dubai on September 3, 2010.56 Domestically, AQAP has continued to target the GoY, particularly the state‘s intelligence and security apparatuses. The most recent attack was the assassination of Colonel Mohamed al-Ezzy, a regional deputy director in the Political Security

Agency, on February 17, 2011.57 These incidents have underscored the growing threat posed by

AQAP and their ability to operate in the region. Additionally, Anwar al-Awlaki, the American- born Yemeni cleric, is believed to be located in the southern province of Shabwa and has used

56 ―AQAP Claims Responsibility for September UPS Crash,‖ STRATFOR, November 5, 2010. 57 For an AQAP attacks in Yemen tracker, see Cody Curran, James Gallagher, Paul Jarvis, and Patrick Knapp, ―AQAP and Suspected AQAP Attacks in Yemen Tracker 2010 and 2011,‖ AEI Critical Threats Project, February 24, 2011, http://www.criticalthreats.org/yemen/aqap-and-suspected-aqap-attacks-yemen-tracker- 2010#_edn3 (accessed February 26, 2011).

29 AQ‘s magazine Inspire to openly support grassroots jihad against the U.S. homeland.58 It is widely known that the Obama administration wants to eliminate al-Awlaki and that the radical cleric is constantly being hunted by U.S. drones.59 However, as the findings in this case study show, the potential elimination of al-Awlaki does not necessarily mean less militant attacks in

Yemen or less transnational acts of terrorism.

Lastly, reflecting on the metrics listed in FM 3-24, changes can be observed in the political situation (decreased ability to provide governance outside Sanaa, yet continued cooperation with the U.S. in the al-Awlaki case), insurgent activity (increased attacks against the

GoY and increased transnational terrorism in recent years), and captured or killed insurgents (al-

Harithi and other known terrorists). In addition, Yemen has remained in the top 20 of the world‘s most failed states since 2005 (when the Fund for Peace introduced its annual index), ranking number 15 in 2010.60 These changes in metrics suggest that short-term tactical gains might not outweigh the long-term strategic consequences that develop over time (if the correlation between strikes and attacks is accepted). Because more variables were not evaluated, the hypothesis cannot be fully accepted or rejected. The data is suggestive of such a correlation.

30 Pakistan case

The U.S. has been involved in ongoing military operations in Afghanistan since October

2001. Pakistan has inevitably played an influential role in those operations. Yet, Pakistan has often proved an enigma for the U.S. as it has sought to bring stability to the region. A complex history, geography, and an uncertain future have caused Pakistan to occasionally waver in its commitments to U.S.-Pakistan relations. From President Pervez Musharraf to President Asif Ali

Zardari, Washington has often had to concede on important issues such as nuclear armament, rule of law, human rights, and dynamics between the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate (ISI) and internal militant groups. One item of contention has been the U.S. drone campaign. The U.S. has claimed that in order to create stability in Afghanistan it must be able to target HVIs that travel back and forth across the porous Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

The first drone strike in Pakistan was in June 2004, and killed a prominent military commander. Nek Mohammed fought with the TB and AQ in Afghanistan and gained notoriety by helping AQ leaders escape from Tora Bora. Mohammed was also connected to other militant leaders such as Tahir Yuldashev, founder of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), and

Mullah Dadullah, a senior TB commander in southern Afghanistan. On June 18, 2004, U.S.

SIGINT identified Mohammed‘s satellite phone, which led to the drone strike that killed

Mohammed and four other militants. It was reported that thousands of tribesmen turned out for

Mohammed‘s funeral.61

Drone strikes have consistently increased since 2004 (see Figure 3 below). Two high- ranking AQ leaders were killed in 2005 – Haitham al-Yemeni and Abu Hamza Rabia. Two drone strikes in 2006 targeted Ayman al-Zawahiri, both to no avail. These strikes reportedly caused some civilian casualties, although the actual number is disputed. Drone strikes in 2007 doubled

61 Ahmed Rashid, Descent Into Chaos (New York: Penguin Group, 2008), 271-272.

31 to a total of four strikes, each targeting TB militants or AQ training camps. The nine total strikes between 2004 and 2007 were relatively successful at eliminating militant leadership and limiting civilian casualties (refer to Appendix B). However, both drone strikes and militant attacks significantly escalated after 2007.

Militancy in Pakistan became notably prevalent in 2007 (see Figure 3 below). This was largely because of President Musharraf‘s decision to dismiss a popular Supreme Court justice, which sparked several violent protests. This and the breakdown of truces made with TB groups caused the internal security situation to deteriorate significantly.62 Increased violence no doubt caused Pakistan to be more willing to cooperate with the U.S. to root out terrorists in the region.

By late 2008 there seemed to be tacit approval for such strikes and the number of drone strikes drastically increased when President Obama and President Zardari took office.63 Since then, militant attacks inside Pakistan continued to increase through 2010.

32 Breaking down the data from 2007 month by month to isolate each drone strike helps to show the relationship between the strike and attacks (see Figure 4 below). Militant attacks against the GoP increased the month after each of the four strikes. Percent increases in militant attacks range from 29 to 340 percent. Internal security in Pakistan continued to decline after

2007, which Figure 3 above clearly shows. This impetus may have caused the GoP to consent to more U.S. drone strikes in its territory during the following years.

The number of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan increased considerably during President

Obama‘s first year in office with a total of 53 strikes in 2009. At the same time, Pakistan saw its highest level of militant violence in 2009. This could partially be attributed to intensified operations conducted by the Pakistani military against TB strongholds in the Swat Valley and

South Waziristan. Figure 5 shows that drone strikes had relatively little effect on overall levels of violence, except for September 2009 when militant attacks dropped by 54 percent. However, militant attacks rose again in October 2009 and remained fairly consistent in 2010 with approximately 30 attacks per month.

Although attack data for 2010 is only available through September 30, it appears that militant attacks against the GoP did not reach the same level of violence that it did in 2009 (refer back to Figure 3). In 2010, the U.S. increased its number of drone strikes by 49 percent (53 drone strikes in 2009 and 79 drone strikes in 2010 up to September 30). It is also worth mentioning that open source reporting on drone strikes in 2010 make it nearly impossible to establish a civilian death rate (see Appendix B for drone strikes and notice the number of ―Unk‖ recorded).

These findings suggest that drone strikes in the early years of OEF (2004 through 2007) caused increases in militant attacks against the GoP, with 2007 being particularly instructive. In

2007, every month after each of the four drone strikes, militant attacks on the GoP increased from previous levels. In 2009, operations conducted by Pakistan‘s military and likely the increase in U.S. drone strikes caused the highest level of recorded militant attacks against the

GoP. By 2010, U.S. drone strikes had doubled from the previous year, but militant attacks against the GoP remained fairly constant with approximately 30 attacks per month. Therefore, the data from Pakistan seem to suggest that isolated drone strikes caused increased militant attacks (similar to the data from Yemen) and that sustained drone strikes caused a leveling-out of

34 militant attacks over the long term. Conversely, it does not appear that drone strikes caused any significant decrease in militant attacks during any of the years observed.

It is also important to mention some anecdotal evidence against the use of drone strikes in

Pakistan. The New America Foundation recently conducted a public opinion survey in which they found that more than three-quarters of residents in the FATA oppose the U.S. drone campaign and that only 16 percent of respondents believe that drone strikes actually target militants.64 Furthermore, the suicide attack at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khowst province, Afghanistan, on December 30, 2009, that killed seven CIA employees was attributed to

U.S. ―drone teams‖ and the killing of Baitullah Mehsud in a TB propaganda video.65 This video and the fact that the majority of Pakistani citizens oppose the use of drones demonstrate the unpopularity and the feelings of revenge that are often created.

Unpopularity and feelings of revenge may not seem important to the U.S. when deciding to target militants in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. However, such feelings may have influenced two recent events in which the U.S. has been internationally discredited. First, in mid-

December 2010, the CIA station chief in Islambabad, Jonathan Banks, was forced to leave the country after his name was disclosed in a class-action lawsuit brought by relatives of civilians killed by a drone strike in 2009.66 Second, the detention of American citizen Raymond Allen

Davis after killing two Pakistani men on January 27, 2011, caused immediate tension between

Washington and Islamabad. The U.S. has insisted that Davis has diplomatic immunity, while

35 Pakistani officials have pressed for murder charges against Davis, undoubtedly due to internal pressure to seek prosecution. Additionally, the TTP have threatened to attack any government officials involved if Mr. David were to be released.67 The number of U.S. drone strikes dramatically decreased following Mr. Davis‘s arrest. In fact, only three drone strikes were recorded in February 2011 – a 67 percent decrease from the month prior.68 Mr. Davis was finally released on March 16, 2011 – 49 days after being taken into custody.69 Such events demonstrate how drone strikes can have greater, more strategic long-term impacts outside of Pakistan.

Again, reflecting on the metrics listed in FM 3-24, changes can be observed in local attitudes (decreased friendliness toward U.S. and HN personnel), public perception

(overwhelmingly negative opinion regarding drone strikes and U.S. influence in Pakistan), the political situation (less GoP cooperation with U.S., as witnessed in the Davis case), insurgent patterns (increased militant attacks against GoP), and insurgents killed by drone strikes

(estimates by New America Foundation range from 1,109 to 1,775 militants killed from 2004 to

February 2011). In addition, Pakistan has continued to rank around tenth among the world‘s most failed states since 2006 (considered ―more failed‖ than even Yemen).70 These changes in metrics also suggest that the long-term consequences of drone strikes in Pakistan might outweigh the tactical short-term benefits gained. Again, the data appear to suggest that the research hypothesis is logical and that a causal link might exist between drone strikes and domestic militant attacks.

36 CHAPTER VI. CONCLUSION

Drone strikes may be a successful way to disrupt insurgent groups in the near term, which is demonstrated by previous scholarly research, but may produce second-order effects that lessen or negate long-term strategic effectiveness. The literature also demonstrates why U.S. officials may only take into account the immediate consequences of drone strikes. Drone strikes are conducted when an HVI has been identified within a certain environment (i.e. Afghanistan,

Pakistan, etc.) and are selected for lethal targeting. This may be because there are no other options to disrupt an HVI (such as a kill/capture mission) or the simple fact that an HVI is deemed ―better dead than alive.‖ Once the drone strike has been conducted, it is important to determine if indeed the HVI was disrupted (i.e. was the correct HVI killed in the strike?). This is often hard to conclude because of hard-to-reach locations and active enemy disinformation campaigns. Therefore, the current effectiveness of a drone strike is measured by its ability to eliminate the correct HVI and control civilian casualties – two measurements that are highly disputed. Furthermore, elimination of important HVIs is often used to justify civilian death rates or the negative local blowback. Effects on local governance and militant groups after strikes are often of secondary importance when assessing the environment after a drone strike.

However, this research suggests that U.S. drone strikes can lead to increased attacks on already weak governments partnered with the U.S. in overseas contingency operations. Such strikes can cause retaliatory attacks on local governments and may contribute to local instability.

This is likely because of feelings of revenge and frustration that are caused by U.S. drone strikes and those feelings of hostility are then taken out on the most immediate structure of authority – local government officials, government buildings, police, and military. Simply put, because militants are largely limited to their geographical regions, they conduct more attacks on local governments instead of attacks against the U.S. These findings support, but not necessarily

37 prove, Kilcullen‘s assertion that drone strikes have ―unarguably and entirely negative‖ effects on local stability.71 Furthermore, and more worrisome, drone strikes might be an impetus for increased radicalization of enemy networks in the long term, as demonstrated by AQAP. This is hard to prove empirically, but nonetheless a logical argument that needs further exploration.

In Yemen and Pakistan, drone strikes appear to have increased the number of militant attacks on local government-related targets after isolated strikes. However, in Pakistan where drone strikes have been sustained over a period of time, militant attacks against the GoP leveled off with approximately 30 attacks per month in 2010. Additionally, strikes in Pakistan have continued to strain U.S.-Pakistan relations, as evidenced by the Davis case, which was finally resolved on March 16, 2011. However, tensions over drone strikes remain high. Such second- order effects might be the types of non-quantifiable measures that Roche and Watts had in mind when evaluating military affairs.

It is realized that many dynamics affect local stability within host nations and that drone strikes may not be the only explanation. An alternative explanation might be that violence was on the rise and that drone strikes were only a response to increased violence. However, the above data does not support that argument. Drone strikes in Pakistan during 2007 provide the counterargument that militant attacks increased each month after a drone strike was conducted and did not increase during any of the months not preceded by a strike (refer back to Figure 4).

Another explanation is that the GoY and GoP increased their crackdowns on militant violence during the same timeframe and that domestic military operations is what caused an increase in militant violence against the local government. This explanation is very reasonable and deserves further evaluation.

71 David Kilcullen, The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One (New York: Oxford University Press, 2009), 232.

38 Without further evaluation of more variables, including domestic military operations, recruitment levels, and other political factors, it is difficult to conclude that drone strikes are solely responsible for the increased militant attacks on host nations that were observed in this study. It is necessary to be realistic with what the available data can and cannot prove at this time. Therefore, the research hypothesis cannot be fully accepted or rejected. However, the data is highly suggestive of the causal link between strikes and attacks.

It is important that future research be more attuned to the long-term effects of drone strikes. The public opinion survey conducted in 2010 by the New America Foundation is one such attempt. More psychological studies might help determine if there is indeed a connection between drone strikes in particular and militant recruitment levels in host nations. Similar to how images of 9/11 were ingrained in the minds of American youth and caused many to enter military service, drone strikes may also increase the willingness of the local populace to conduct or supports acts of violence against local governments and Western targets. Such psychological studies are only one piece of the evaluation needed. Research on drone strikes has to take a holistic and nuanced approach if an accurate assessment is to be made.

Analysts with access to classified data might be better able to conduct a more thorough, empirically rigorous study on the use of drones. This would require continuity of data collection regardless of command change or military unit turnovers. Such data would track effects of drone strikes on militant networks with Analyst‘s Notebook (or similar software), militant recruitment levels in drone-strike areas with local surveys, general and official perceptions of drone strikes over time through military attaché or diplomatic reporting, and militant attacks against host nations such as this study did. A more comprehensive collection of data on this topic would allow studies to include more variables and the use of statistical tools such as SPSS to determine

39 levels of significance (p-value) to provide more concrete conclusions. Further, geospatial tools, such as ArcGIS, might help to determine proximity of drone strikes and militant attacks or density of attacks in particular areas close to strike areas. This might be helpful to predict where greater domestic security forces are needed. Ultimately, the data is essential and more data needs to be collected to provide insight into long-term consequences of drone strikes.

It is important for the U.S. to track civilian death rates and the number of militants killed, if only for official statistics. As the literature review explains, establishing an official civilian death rate has been problematic. Official U.S. claims have often been discredited and independent sources come no closer to being accurate. Drone strike proponents and opponents are likely to select the statistics that best suit their claims. Therefore, even if the U.S. would start acknowledging drone strikes in the FATA and reporting collateral damage, it is likely that such reports would not have any creditability with the international community or even the American public (contrary to claims made by Fair). Ultimately, drone strikes will be judged by their end results – was the U.S. able to achieve its objectives in the country where the strike or strikes were conducted? In both cases studied above, the verdicts are not final (U.S. still conducting operations in both countries), but the general trend does not look promising.

40 CHAPTER VII. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

Drone strikes have been a hotly contested issue since the ―war on terror‖ began. By no means does this paper claim to solve the paradoxes of using such a tactic. However, there are several important takeaways from this research. First, a review of military doctrine with an emphasis on long-term consequences would be beneficial for military commanders and civilians engaged in the HVI targeting process. FM 3-24 properly lists MOEs that measure long-term effectiveness, but these metrics have been left largely unevaluated (at least in the unclassified domain). If drone strikes continue to be a popular tactic, a more formal rubric system would be beneficial, as opposed to the suggested metrics listed in FM 3-24, to guide drone strike usage.

However, a review of military doctrine is a great place to start.

Second, drone strikes should fit into a more comprehensive politico-military strategy.

This would require more national-level decisionmakers becoming involved in the process (not made public, though). This would ensure that drone strikes are not conducted at the discretion of regional or even operational-level commanders, but at the strategic level where long-term factors can also be weighed. Additionally, a more concerted public relations campaign should be conducted to increase the chances of success. In the Pakistan case, a more asserted effort to make known the actual civilian death rate from the beginning may have changed the general perception of strikes in the FATA and Pakistan writ large. This integrated-type approach should effectively limit the number of strikes to only top tier HVIs deemed absolutely necessary to U.S. national security objectives – a quality, not quantity approach.72

72 Peter Bergen estimates that 94 percent of militants killed in the FATA are low-level militants. This means that only six percent of drone strikes conducted in Pakistan actually target mid- to high-level combatants – approximately seven drone strikes out of the 118 conducted in 2010. For more on this, see Peter Bergen, as quoted in Greg Miller, ―Increased U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan killing few high-value militants,‖ Washington Post, February 21, 2011, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/20/AR2011022003785.html (accessed March 14, 2011).

41 Lastly, drone strikes may affect the stability of host nations. This evidence should require that the U.S. coordinate extensively with local governments to ensure or limit potential sources of conflict resulting from strikes. In the Yemen case, more dialogue and agreement with the GoY would have revealed that making the al-Harithi strike public would not benefit internal stability.

Whether coordinated and communicated through military attachés or civilian diplomats, drone strikes should always be authorized individually by host nations. Local governments are likely only to authorize the targeting of top-tier HVIs that pose significant risk to internal stability, which would also limit the number of strikes that are authorized. Such dialogue is likely to increase the overall effectiveness of each strike, as well as dispense potential blame for strikes that go bad. This is apparently not the case in Pakistan where General Kayani, Pakistan‘s top army chief, condemned a U.S. drone strike on March 17, 2011.73

Looking ahead, drone strikes should not be analyzed for effectiveness by only evaluating limited variables. Civilian death rates, number of militants killed, degraded militant professionalism or lethality (Wilner‘s study for example), and local perceptions are all likely to change significantly over time. These statistics may be desirable in the short term (duration of one military unit‘s deployment), but will not suffice over the long term (duration of entire campaign). Drone strikes may be the ―only game in town,‖ as CIA Director Leon Penetta said, to kill AQ leadership in Pakistan74, but U.S. decisionmakers must realize that drone strikes are not quick fixes in overseas contingency operations in which the U.S. is currently engaged.

Decisionmakers should proceed with caution when authorizing drone strikes.
