Improvised explosive devices (IED) continue to inflict coalition casualties in Iraq, indicating the United States has not found an effective means of disrupting the IED network in that country. This thesis presents center of gravity (COG) analysis and social network viral targeting as a means of disrupting the IED network in Iraq.
