This RAND report adapts civilian terrorism prevention and CVE frameworks for the Department of Defense, organizing interventions by phase—early (online messaging, community resilience), middle (referral promotion, law enforcement training), and late (prison-based mental health care)—and recommending DoD adopt military-tailored versions while building out research on the prevalence, in-unit dynamics, and manifestation of extremism in the force.

This RAND assesses the Redirect Method, which uses targeted ads to divert users searching for violent jihadist or far-right content toward counter-narrative videos and it offers recommendations for improving evaluations of online campaigns.
