Journal Title: Knowledge International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper an attempt was made through an analysis of the center of gravity of the Islamic State, to get a full picture of the terrorist organization. The analysis is based on the three postulates of the center of gravity according to US military research, which are: critical capabilities, critical needs and critical weaknesses. With the full implementation of these postulates, a comprehensive analysis of the state of the Islamic state has been made (advantages, disadvantages and vulnerabilities). The political and military strategy for violating the stability of the Islamic State depends on the assessment of their critical capabilities, critical needs and critical weaknesses. The strategy of defeating the Islamic State depends on the assessment of their center of gravity and the grand strategy of military policy. Hence a conclusion could be drawn from the Islamic State's military strategy for the necessary components that would allow enemies to form a counter-strategy.
