Sabotage for strategic purposes is SOF’s role in large-scale combat operations (LSCO) and can be used to deter conflict. The ability to create a cost-imposing dilemma to oppose adversary coercion or covert/clandestine activity is increasingly relevant. Ultimately, the goal is to set conditions proactively to dictate the terms of an adversary’s next move and/or improve the global security posture of the U.S. around the subject of strategic sabotage. How can SOF effectively employ strategic sabotage to create cost-imposing dilemmas for adversaries below the threshold of armed conflict? What legal and ethical frameworks should guide the use of strategic sabotage as a tool of persistent competition? How can SOF leverage interagency partnerships and foreign proxies to enhance the effectiveness of strategic sabotage operations? How does SOF proactively interdict peer adversary capabilities across diplomatic, information, military, and economic national power in a way that is time sensitive, non-attributable, and below the threshold of conflict? How does SOF, as part of the joint force and in coordination with the interagency and foreign persons and proxies, engage in persistent competition with peer rivals to proactively set conditions to impact adversary decision-making in a way that is time-sensitive, non-lethal, and non-attributive but below the level of armed conflict?
