The Iraq War introduced a novel concept informally called tactical economics. It puts into military ground units’ hands money to help local stability efforts when combat can only go so far. This cash can help the military consolidate its gains in places like Mosul, and Army Capt. Duncan Walker has advice for how to make so-called tactical economics more effective.
