In the light of a new emerging threat and its implication for an American Army exploring potential technologies and concepts for the year 2025 this monograph will explore the following Can the proposed Army After Next AAN tactical methods disintegrate an asymmetric enemy operating in an urban environment Theory provides a useful tool to discover valid new approaches to counter asymmetric threats. Therefore, complexity theory and general systems theory form the foundation for our understanding of disintegration theory as presented by Dr. James Schneider in his monograph Cybershock Cybernetic Paralysis as a New form of Warfare. This monograph outlines the theoretical presuppositions and logic of disintegration theory to create a mental library of abstract concepts from which to generate viable tactical options to counter asymmetric urban threats. History then provides empirical evidence that adds pragmatism and validity to the more abstract concepts outlined by theory. The Battle of Mogadishu serves as a recent example.
