As we developed the Assessing Resistance and Insurgent Strategies (ARIS) project and work began on the new studies, we determined that this text is still important and relevant and thus should be republished. As noted in the Foreword to the original edition, this case study considers many aspects of tactical operations, offering a glimpse of the complexities in working relationships between individuals and groups with diverse backgrounds and aspirations. The record of the German performance against the Greek guerrillas gives insight into the reasons for the Germans’ tactical success in anti-guerrilla combat and their simultaneous failure to eradicate the guerrilla movement. The description and analysis of these events are quite relevant to study of today’s movements and operations. The majority of the book was reproduced exactly as it appeared originally, with some minor spelling and punctuation corrections as well as changes in formatting to conform to modern typesetting conventions and to match the new ARIS studies in presentation. The process for creating this revised edition entailed scanning the pages from a copy of the original book; using an optical character recognition (OCR) function to convert the text on the scanned pages to computer readable, editable text; refining the scanned figures to ensure appropriate resolution and contrast; and composing the document using professional typesetting software. Then, word by word, the revised text was compared to the original text to ensure that no errors were introduced during the OCR and composition processes. In addition, the original edition included two fold-out maps that were re-created at a smaller scale for this updated edition. These efforts resulted in the creation of this revised edition in the following formats: a softbound book, a hardbound book, a PDF, and an EPUB. The EPUB was generated by creating a new set of files from the print-ready files, adjusting various settings in the files to facilitate maximum compatibility with e-readers, exporting the files to .epub, and reviewing and revising the code to allow for optimal viewing on standard e-reading devices. The final step was to test the book on multiple e-readers and then repeat the entire process as necessary to address any remaining issues in the code. Although the processes for creating the various formats of this edition are for the most part straightforward, they take several weeks to complete and require considerable attention to detail. Several staff members from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory devoted time and effort to making the various formats of this revised edition possible: Kelly Livieratos, Annie Marcotte, Magda Saina, and Erin Richardson. This study and the other products from the ARIS project are essential learning tools developed to enhance Special Operations Forces personnel’s understanding of resistances and insurgencies. For more than fifty years, Special Operations Forces have conducted missions to support resistances or insurgencies (unconventional warfare); to counter them (counterinsurgency operations); or to support a partner nation in eliminating them (foreign internal defense). These operations are collectively referred to as special warfare. Special Operations doctrine gives general principles and strategies for accomplishing these operations but in most cases describes the resistance or insurgency only in generalities. The ARIS project was designed to serve as an anatomy lesson. It provides the necessary foundational material for the special warfare practitioner to learn the elemental structure, form, and function of rebellions, thus enabling him or her to better adapt and apply the doctrine professionally. Additionally, these products inform doctrine, ensuring that it is adapted to meet modern social and technological changes. FOREWORD Because of recent developments in Southeast Asia and other areas where Communists have exploited guerrilla movements to the detriment of the non-Communist world, interest in the United States is focused on guerrilla warfare as seldom before. Several facts about guerrilla movements—a field of activity too long regarded as “adventure”—have emerged from these experiences of the 20th century. One is that world communism has systematically utilized guerrilla warfare to extend its power and that the West has not always been able to counter these thrusts. China and Indochina are classic examples. Another point is that the Communists frequently attempt to subvert resistance and guerrilla movements not originally Communist, so that they will become the tools of communism. The Special Operations Research Office is convinced that this case study of guerrilla warfare, utilizing the example of Greece during World War II, holds many lessons for the 1960’s, from both a military and political standpoint. While many of the lessons may be known to a few United States experts, it is also true that not all persons who will be intimately concerned with guerrilla warfare in the near future have this expert knowledge at their fingertips. In this sense, this study should prove most useful to a variety of military and non-military audiences. For the policy maker, this study represents a detailed and comprehensive review of the major aspects of a guerrilla campaign, including its political implications and long-range effects. For the military planner, the study indicates not only many of the problems inherent in such a campaign—of selection and training of men, of logistics and communication, for example, but also some possible solutions. For persons who may someday be in the same position as that handful of Allied men in Greece during World War II, the study considers many aspects of tactical operations and affords a glimpse of the complexities in working relationships between individuals and groups with diverse backgrounds and aspirations. For those responsible for countering guerrilla operations in the future, the record of the German performance against the Greek guerrillas gives insight into the reasons for their tactical success in anti-guerrilla combat and their simultaneous failure to eradicate the guerrilla movement. In presenting this study, I feel confident that it will aid in the understanding of a subject of telling importance.
