PHYSICAL TERRAIN ANALYSIS GEOGRAPHY • Lakuha is a “heart-shape” island province of PH • Total Land area = 95,258 Ha • NE of the PH approx. 100 miles from mainland Luzon • Highest peak Mount Malindig - 1,157 m (3,796 ft.) ASL, located in the southern tip of the island Lacuha Island Gasan
PHYSICAL TERRAIN ANALYSIS GEOGRAPHY • Various cave occupies the province (Grand Bathala Cave & San Isidro Cave with complex subterranean river • Very advantageous for defensive operations. Lacuha Island Gasan

PHYSICAL TERRAIN ANALYSIS LAND DIMENSION • Hills drop steeply - maximum elevation of 1,157 m (3,796 ft) ASL • Ideal for sustained defensive operations Lacuha Island Gasan
PHYSICAL TERRAIN ANALYSIS LAND DIMENSION LEGEND: • HILLS AND MOUNTAINS • BUILT-UP AREAS • COASTAL, SWAMP, AND MARSHY AREAS • PLAIN/FLAT • MT. MALINDIG/ HIGHEST PEAK Lacuha Island Gasan

HUMAN TERRAIN ANALYSIS POPULATION - 227,000 ETHNIC COMPOSITION: 70% IVATANS; 20% ILONGOTS; &10% IBANAGS - PURELY FILIPINO AND WILL RESIST NUV INVASION POPULATION BELOW POVERTY LEVEL :44.8% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE :11.8% HIGH POVERTY INCIDENCE AND UNEMPLOYMENT COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ENEMY ISA
HUMAN TERRAIN ANALYSIS PEACE-LOVING PEOPLE (ONLY 350 PNP PERSONNEL MAINTAIN PEACE AND ORDER) PEOPLE OF LACUHA ARE NOTABLY SERIOUS IN THEIR EXERCISE OF SUFFRAGE INDICATING STRONG PATRIOTIC SENSE
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ANALYSIS UN: DOES NOT SUPPORT THE NUVARIAN CLAIM OVER LACUHA ISLAND- THIS COULD MAKE THE NUVARIAN LEADERSHIP RESORT TO DESPERATE MEASURES. US: SUPPORTS THE DIPLOMATIC AND PEACEFUL RESOLUTION OF THE TERRITORIAL DISPUTE - THIS COULD MEAN NON-INTERVENTION BY THE US IN THE EVENT OF A MILITARY ACTION BY NUV IN LACUHA.
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ANALYSIS NUVARIAN TOURISTS AND INVESTORS IN THE PH- WILL LIKELY FLEE AND WILL PULL OUT THEIR PORTFOLIOS FILIPINO WORKFORCE AT NUV FACTORIES AND HOUSEHOLDS: PH WILL HAVE TO PLAN FOR CONTINGENCY EVACUATION
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ANALYSIS OIL EXPLORATION INDUSTRY- SITUATION MAY CAUSE INVESTMENT JITTERY AND MAY PROPEL OIL PRICES TO SHOOT UP INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY (IC)- FIRM COLLECTIVE POSTURE BY THE IC UNDER DURESS OF ECONOMIC OR MILITARY SANCTIONS COULD BE A DETERRENT TO HOSTILE ACTIONS
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ANALYSIS TOURIST/HOTEL INDUSTRY- WILL SIGNIFICANTLY FEEL THE INDIRECT BRUNT OF THE CONFLICT WITH LOWER REVENUES PNP, COASTGUARD AND PARA-MILITARY FORCES- MAY BE DEPLOYED AND WILL TAKE A SECONDARY SUPPORT ROLE TO THE AFP EFFORTS.
INFORMATION TERRAIN ANALYSIS DOMESTIC & INTERNATIONAL LINKAGES IS PROVIDED BY GLOBE AND SMART INTERNET ALLOWS FOR INTERCONNECTIVITY AND ACCESS TO NON-MILITARY OPEN SOURCE SYSTEMS AND IS THE PRIMARY MODE OF DELIVERY OF DATA INFORMATION CYBERWARFARE CAPABILITIES OF BOTH FORCES COULD INFLUENCE THE INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT NOLCOM CEIS CAPABILITY MAY NOT WORK WELL IN LACUHA ISLAND
