1787’s Mission:
The total defeat of jihadist terrorism,
both militarily and culturally.
Expand and strengthen America’s cooperation with international partners to better target global extremism.
Cultivate light-footprint, low-cost operations like the highly successful one we conduct in Syria.
Fully understand exactly who – and what – we are dealing with.
Listen to people who have first-hand knowledge of how jihadist terrorism works.
Don’t get cocky and underestimate terrorists – ever!
Build productive relationships with the Muslim World. Ensure that American Muslims are protected and respected.
Use Counter-Ideological Operations/Warfare to reframe America’s image and fight against extremist propaganda.
Work hard to improve the factors around the world that enable violent extremism such as poverty, inequality and repression.
