About

Chapter 1 Overview Terrorism Defined Joint Publication (JP) 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, defines terrorism as "the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological." Within this definition are three key elements—violence, fear, and intimidation. Each element produces terror in its victims. The policy of the United States is summarized as follows: G All terrorist acts are criminal and intolerable, whatever their motivation, and should be condemned. G The U.S. will support all lawful measures to prevent terrorism and bring those responsible to justice. G No concessions will be made to terrorist extortion, because to do so only invites more terrorist action.
