Regular and irregular forces Clause Samples

Regular and irregular forces. The region has also witnessed a substantive increase in irregular or non- government armies involved in internal conflicts. These armies and militias have been active in many of the recent wars, but because they are irregular and highly transient in time and place are more difficult to measure. It remains difficult to determine how many people are involved, who they are, and where they are located. What is clear is that militias and non-regular forces have become more common and that they have assumed new forms and practices, including the recruitment and/or forced conscription of children.
