ASCOPE: Planning acronym for the new generation of warfare
Article Abstract:
A counterinsurgency (COIN) environment and hence, the new generation warfare, necessitates an accurate evaluation of areas of operation (AO). The ASCOPE (area, structure, capabilities, organizations, people and events) is an assessment tool used to implement important cultural considerations into a unit's tactical planning so as to gain popular support of the noncombatant population to accomplish a mission without unnecessary danger to the troops.
