The International Working Group on Subterranean Warfare is the first international initiative bringing together experts from disciplines as varied as history, law, security studies, international relations, psychology, and geology in an effort to better understand subterranean threats. It seeks to create a community of researchers and experts interested in identifying the distinct features of underground combat, anticipating future trends (particularly urban trends), and enhancing preparedness.

Since its inception, the Working Group has spearheaded numerous discussions at the classified and declassified levels, boosted academic research, and encouraged cross-fertilization.

 

The Working Group hopes to further these ties in the future and welcomes opportunities for collaboration. Contact us if you wish to take part in our activities, join our mailing list, contribute content, or introduce us to your organization.
