Army Studies the History of Protracted Occupations [4min]

The U.S. Army is trying to figure out how to deal more effectively with the insurgency in Iraq. So they've pulled together a team of military intellectuals to study the history of protracted occupations. Steve Inskeep talks with the lead author of the soon-to-be-published manual on insurgencies, retired Army Col. Conrad Crane. He's the director of the U.S. Army Military History Institute at the Army War College.
