It is no secret that the modern era of homeland security was largely a product of the terror
attacks carried out on September 11, 2001. The catastrophic event would mold the country's
posture on counterterrorism for decades to come. Although blanket definitions have been made
to establish a standard for terrorism, it seems like organizations rarely have the same description
of terrorism. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, terrorism is defined as "the
unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a
government, civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social
objectives," (Terrorism Definitions | Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, n.d.). In
contrast, the US Army Manual goes on to define terrorism as the "calculated use of unlawful
violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear. It is intended to coerce or intimidate
governments or societies…to attain political, religious, or ideological goals," (Terrorism
Definitions | Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, n.d.). Just between these two
definitions, we see a few key differences. Namely, the US Army Manual adds the inculcation of
fear to their definition. Additionally, the US Army Manual begins the definition with the term
"calculated", which in my opinion, can be used interchangeably with the words intentional or
premeditated. There are inaccuracies in either definition but I lean more closely to the definition
given by the US Army, as it specifies that the act is carried out intentionally and it makes
mention of ideological goals, which I find to be an important addition.
I do find inconsistencies with the fact that there is not a clear and agreed-upon definition
of terrorism. The Department of Emergency and Military affairs alone laid out 12 separate and
contrasting definitions of the same word. Rather, I think an overarching and all-encompassing
definition would better help allies paint the picture of what a terrorist and terrorism is; improving
