Hello Small Wars Council! I'm new to the forum: I joined to ask for help with my research. I am a political scientist writing my third book on war: this one is about religion as a constraint on modern warfare.

My question is about NSLs and SPINS during the 1st and 2nd Gulf War. I have a general understanding of how US troops avoid striking mosques. I've read various joint publications. What I'd like to see is an example with some specifics. Who draws up a list of religious sites? How do they know where they are located? Who identifies them? Who makes the final decision?

Is it at all possible to get hold of a copy (no matter how outdated) of SPINS or NSLs? Thanks for your advice!
