Welcome to the Irregular Warfare webpage within the Military Art and
Science curriculum of West Point's Department of Military Instruction.
Students who specialize in the Irregular Warfare Track add a
multidisciplinary set of electives to their curriculum in order to
advance their understanding of unique combat environments and
methodologies that are more uncertain, surprisingly paradoxical,
typically non-linear, and often asymmetrical.
The irregular warfare specialty track
has rapidly become the most popular choice among cadets who choose to
pursue a Bachelors of Science in Military Art and Science.
Furthermore, other academic departments have authorized their students
to take irregular warfare courses as approved electives.
Consequently, both MS360, Special Operations and Low-Intensity
Conflict, and MS460, Counterinsurgency Operations, have
become extremely popular choices among cadets. Both courses are
also open to visitors and staff and faculty at all times, and greater
diversity among the students creates a more engaging learning
environment.
