Vilken nytta finns i förberedelser för motstånd mot ockupation?

One of the least explored areas in the field of military science pertains to preparations for resistance against occupation, known as Stay-Behind operations. This study examines the potential benefits that Stay-Behind operations could bring in the High North, which is identified as a weak area by NATO. Drawing on Colin Gray's theoretical framework on the strategic utility of special operations, the study analyzes the contributions of Stay-Behind activities. The study demonstrates the potential for achieving certain advantages in economy of force and the creation of operational flexibility through prearranged Stay-Behind operations during peacetime. Additionally, it highlights the challenge posed by the lack of an open academic discussion due to the subject's confidentiality, which could hinder the planning and implementation of Stay-Behind operations. Furthermore, the study identifies the need for clearer coordination and unified command in combat operations within occupied areas to counteract direct and/or indirect fragmentation of resources.
