Lacking the resources, reach and influence of organized extremist groups, lone wolf terrorist attacks should be less impactful than the spectacular attacks of larger and more organized groups. How can lone actors compare to a vast, globally resourced, network of large terrorist organizations such as ISIS or Al-Qaeda? This study sought to study the methodology of lone wolf terrorism by analyzing select cases for commonalities in attack mobilization durations and indicators. This was done by developing common terminology, outlining a method for comparing the cases, discussing the cases selected, and then comparing them in a case study text analysis. This study found that there were commonalities in both mobilization durations and indicators displayed. Mobilization durations general fell into three categories, immediate, short and long-term durations. Mobilization indicators displayed saw commonalities in attack means acquisition that was outside the norm, making statements justifying violence, supporting extremist ideologies, and training to higher proficiency in weapons. There were also commonalities in indicators not displayed such as limited to no displays of operational security, counter-surveillance, communications encryption, seeking access through employment, and the conduct of rehearsals.
