Human trafficking can threaten the safety and security of our supply chain for goods and services, affect warfighter readiness, create insider threats on our military installations, and sex traffickers operating near military installations create counterintelligence threats. In addition, case law shows that human trafficking is linked to drug trafficking, arms trafficking, migrant smuggling, and other transnational and domestic criminal activities. Like terrorists, arms traffickers, and drug traffickers, human traffickers use asymmetric/unconventional tactics and combating them requires training to recognize the ways in which human trafficking may be utilized to engage in irregular warfare. This training includes original animated maps showing routes and patterns of traffickers across U.S. borders and across the U.S., gang involvement in human trafficking, and a map showing where cases involving hundreds of victims of sex and labor trafficking occurred in the U.S.

Terminal Learning Objectives (TLOs):

• Why and how human trafficking occurs in warfare and who is involved
• What constitutes human trafficking, utilizing the term “severe forms of trafficking in persons” as defined in Section 7102 of Title 22, U.S.C.
• How human trafficking can affect mission readiness
• What are the signs and indicators of human trafficking, victims of trafficking, and perpetrators, especially confronting asymmetric enemies
