UK Base Seen as Ambitious Target for 'Gig Economy' Warfare
Original: U.K. Base Would Be Ambitious Target for ‘Gig Economy’ Warfare
Reports say a United Kingdom military base would represent an ambitious target for what is being described as 'gig economy' warfare — a style of conflict carried out by loosely organised, ad-hoc actors rather than conventional forces. The framing has drawn attention to how modern conflicts increasingly rely on freelance-style networks, and what such threats would mean for the security of British installations.
Why now: Ongoing debate about unconventional and asymmetric threats to Western military installations has put the idea of 'gig economy' warfare in the spotlight.
