Peace Operations: What a JTF Commander Can Expect.

摘要

This study characterizes those peace operations (POs) conducted as the result of U.S. armed forces forcibly entering a country, defeating enemy armed forces, and establishing a government. This study examines POs conducted in conjunction with World War II, Operation Urgent Fury, Operation JUST CAUSE, and Operation DESERT STORM. This study will show that peace operations fall into three types: (1) the restoration of law and order; (2) the provision of humanitarian assistance; and (3) the establishment and stabilization of politically acceptable governments.
