Since radical Islamic terrorism became a big issue, the American military has conducted numerous operations worldwide and legislation has been changed as well. As a part of the PATRIOT act, the US military got increased jurisdictions over any issue that might be considered to be connected to terrorism. Operations conducted include both in countries where there is active warfare, as well as countries that are known to fund terror or support the Islamic terrorists in any way.

What has changed is that warfare has become more revolving around technology including things like UAV assaults instead of full manpower warfare Expand this to fit 200 words.<span />
