Tables) Maps. Sources for Further Study. The objective of this annual gathering is to provide a forum for information exchange and debate regarding the complete range of possible urban challenges likely to confront the military over the next generation. This work summarizes the proceedings of the fourth annual Urban Operations Conference co-hosted by RAND Arroyo Center and representatives of the Army and Marine Corps. The goal of this conference was not just to simply inform the audience of the challenges inherent during urban contingencies but to actually find solutions to selected problems of notable current relevancy. Speakers were to be given problems to which solutions are sought rather than topics on which to speak, and the format was to provide significantly more time for audience discussion of issues with speakers.
