Simone Rinaldi and Daniela Irrera argue that their role, and the implications of their use, raise significant challenges for the actors who employ them
Simone has published research and analysis on the conflict in Afghanistan, and on the use of armed forces in crisis management, for the Italian Centre for Defense Higher Studies (CASD).
He has also published research on land forces for FINABEL (The European Army Interoperability Centre) in Brussels.
His research focuses on unconventional warfare, counterinsurgency, defence policy, airpower, military doctrine and terrorism.
