Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique book explores the full spectrum of infiltration threats to the Homeland and examines the danger posed by foreign controlled or directed operatives who enter the United States for the purpose of conducting espionage, sabotage, assassination or terrorist attacks. Using historical examples, it demonstrates the likelihood enemy operatives could enter the United States undetected and conduct hostile acts.

Following this discussion, the paper proposes an analytical framework useful for examining the full range of infiltration threats posed by both state and non-state actors. This framework includes an adversary's presence in the United States and the ease at which their nationals can access US society, their ability and demonstrated intent to conduct aggressive and sophisticated intelligence operations within the United States, the collection priorities of their espionage operations, the special operations capabilities of their military and paramilitary forces, and the nature of their military doctrine and their focus on asymmetric operations. The applicability of this analytical framework is demonstrated via an examination of Chinese infiltration capabilities. This examination explores the likelihood China would have the ability and intent to conduct terrorism, assassinations, sabotage attacks and espionage operations within the United States in the event of military conflict.

This paper also discusses the probable US targets enemy sabotage operatives would strike. It discusses four primary target categories including: 1) Strikes against critical military and civilian transportation infrastructure and assets required to deploy military forces; 2) Assaults against key military installations designed to destroy critical weapons systems and command and control nodes; 3) Assassinations of senior political and military leaders; and 4) Attacks designed to impact US morale.
