There are five principal strategic logics of costly signaling at work in terrorist campaigns: (1) attrition, (2) intimidation, (3) provocation, (4) spoiling, and (5) outbidding.
These Five strategies should be mentioned somewhere in the introduction of the paper/memo.

THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS A GUIDELINE OF HOW ITS SHOULD BE DONE….
A Memo to the UNITED STATES President JOE BIDEN and should include a brief history of the strategy as well as answer the following questions:
1. Why is this a terrorist strategy?
2. Which terrorists use this strategic method? Why?
3. When has this strategic method proven effective, and what counterstrategy should the country adopt? Why?
4. What are the potential flaws in the terrorists’ strategy and in our counterstrategy that are to be anticipated? Why?
5. What infrastructures support using this method as part of a terrorist strategy? How? Why?
