Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has experienced numerous eras of distinct international systems which governed its relationship with other nations. The end of the Cold War symbolized a transition point between such systems. Historically, the nature of a new order as well as the transitional point between orders is fraught with uncertainty. Nonetheless, instruments of national power such as the military must respond to the changing system to remain effective. The post-Cold War era has been characterized by an increased use of the military for operations short of war to include humanitarian operations, peacekeeping, sanction enforcement, etc. Although these missions are not new to the Armed Forces, military doctrine has only begun to address the unique challenges involved in executing operations short of war. Joint Publication 3- 07, Joint Doctrine for Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW), lists six fundamental principles for MOOTW. This research applies the concepts embodied in the principles of MOOTW with three MOOTW models; the Range of Military Operations Model developed by the U.S. Army, the Crises and Lesser Conflicts Model developed by Rand researchers Carl H. Builder and Theodore W. Karasik, and the MOOTW Characteristics Model developed by RAND researchers Jennifer M. Taw and John E. Peters.

Download or read book Interagency Coordination in Military Operations Other Than War Implications for the U S Army written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confluence of a variety of factors especially exponential population growth, rapidly escalating population migration, and an unprecedented pace of urbanization-has increased the likelihood that each U.S. military operation will have a humanitarian or nation-assistance component. In the conduct of humanitarian or nation-assistance missions, be they free-standing or part of bigger operations, the military will usually encounter-and often support-civilians. They may be representatives from various U.S. government departments and offices, United Nations (UN) agencies' representatives, and/or personnel from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) who have established their own aid operations. This growing nexus of civilian and military efforts requires increased coordination to maximize each player's contribution and to avoid both redundancies and contradictory efforts. While all the services will contribute to humanitarian and nation-assistance missions, the Army brings unique scope, capacity, and resources to these missions and thus will bear more of the responsibility for interacting with civilian agencies and organizations. This research focused on identifying how the interagency process-at the policy, operational, and field levels can both complicate and enhance U.S. Army forces contributions to military operations other than war (MOOTW).

This book was released on 1998 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's global security environment of uncertainty and chaos due to ethnic strife and declining global resources will require greater emphasis for U.S. military forces at the other than war end of the conflict scale when dealing with the full range of military operations. With the current U.S. dominance in conventional military power, any potential future adversary will likely look for an unconventional or asymmetric means of engaging us. This will require the joint force commander (JFC) to fully understand the operating environment for Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). The synchronization of conventional and SOF, although crucial to the success of any military operation discussed in joint doctrine, is the most critical aspect of MOOTW. When the JFC first begins planning he must first understand how his military means are going to achieve his operational objectives. In order to accomplish this demanding task, he has to fully understand how best to integrate the full range of military options available and how to synchronize his conventional and SOF for mission accomplishment. The JFC has several doctrinal keys to successfully employ operational art in a MOOTW environment. Most important are the strategic estimate and the facets of operational art especially synergy, simultaneity and centers of gravity. Of the six MOOTW principles, the most important to the JFC are unity of effort, restraint, perseverance, and legitimacy. The JFC by constant awareness of the MOOTW principles and applying the facets of operational art most important to MOOTW will best synchronize his forces. This will ensure that the JFC really understands what the mission is and tailors the force to achieve the military and political objectives in the shortest time with the fewest casualties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines military operations other than war (MOOTW) of the Indonesian military in the post-Suharto period and argues that the twin development of democratic consolidation, marked by ‘stable’ civil–military relations from 2004 to 2014 under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s presidency, and internationalization of the military have not yet entirely de-politicized the armed forces. This book shows how peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and counter-terror missions have been reinvented by the Indonesian military (Tentara Nasional Indonesia, TNI) to adhere to its politico-institutional interests rather than to divert military attention from politics. In contrast with conventional arguments about the rationale of MOOTW in promoting military professionalism, this book provides the first critical analysis of the development of these missions and correlates them with TNI’s concerted effort to preserve territorial command structure – a military network that parallels the civilian bureaucracy down to the village level. The book argues that the military in Indonesia remains domestically political amidst high intensity of international activism. A detailed investigation of civil–military relations in Indonesia, this book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of Southeast Asian studies and Asian politics, and more generally to those interested in civil–military relations, military politics, and MOOTW.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War and the Gulf War, the US military has been increasingly tasked for operations short of war, in what has come to be labeled Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). While the MOOTW concept has been incorporated into extant US military doctrine, specific missions attributed to MOOTW remain controversial, such as peace operations (Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia) or humanitarian operations (Somalia, Rwanda). This paper broadly analyzes contemporary MOOTW missions and evaluates their relevance for the military in the future. First, it looks historically to determine the roots of MOOTW and how it differs from earlier, related, concepts such as Low-Intensity-Conflict and Unconventional Warfare. The missions encompassed in MOOTW are not new but follow a long history in the US military, described herein. Several differing concepts of future threats are reviewed to determine the continued applicability of MOOTW. Within a wide variety of future threat environments, MOOTW missions should still be able to contribute to enhancing national security. However, the ability of MOOTW responses to counter the threat does not, alone, justify using the military. The paper next examines which MOOTW missions can or should be carried out by the military. Many of the missions in MOOTW are likely to involve combating organized violence; hence those missions are appropriate for the military. For those that do not involve combat, there are several rationale: the military provides exclusive expertise, has appropriate resources, or performing those missions contributes to justifying military budgets and personnel designed for other threats or conflicts. These rationales are not sufficient to justify using the military in some MOOTW missions.

The results of historical examples and current doctrine combined with current professional opinion leads to further recommendations in how to train units for MOOTW. Training for MOOTW is now a challenge to all leaders in the Army. With the deployment of heavy and cavalry units to Bosnia, all units are now experiencing the realities of training and executing MOOTW. Leaders are faced with the challenge of training their unit's mission essential tasks under conditions and to standards different from the Army's doctrinal war fighting manuals. This study intends to look at the MOOTW training challenges facing the Army today.
Download or read book Operations Other Than War Implications for the U S Army written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-Cold War political pressures are likely to increase the demand for the U.S. military in general and the U.S. Army in particular to conduct operations other than war (OOTW). This report analyzes how changing demographics worldwide will affect the operational requirements of future OOTW missions. Two key factors that have influenced U.S. success or failure in the past are 1) political-military communication, and 2) mission creep and mission swing. Without effective political-military communication, military planning may be derived from political rhetoric or, alternatively, political decisions may be based on faulty understandings of military capabilities or considerations. Equally critical is sufficient recognition of, and planning for, mission creep (in which political goals shift, requiring military operations different from those planned at the intervention's outset) and mission swing (in which the operational environment undergoes quick deterioration or improvement unrelated to the presence or efforts of intervening forces). The report concludes with specific recommendations regarding Army doctrine, training, equipment, and force structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamic environment of the post-Cold War era has increased the probability that the United States will be called upon more frequently to use military personnel in untraditional, noncombat missions. In his January 1994 report to the President and Congress, Secretary of Defense William J. Perry stated: "The fundamental foreign policy goal of the United States is a stable world order in which democratic values and free trade can flourish." The evolving multipolar world, with its border disputes and ethnic, tribal, and religious conflicts, jeopardized the United States' interests in regional security, democratic freedoms, free markets, and human rights. Historically, governments have utilized their armed forces as instruments of national power in order to achieve political objectives. Today, the US and other nations continue to supplement their political, economic, and informational instruments of national power with use of their military forces through what are broadly termed "peace operations" or "Operations Other Than War." Unlike its counterparts in other nations, the US military has a unique asset which can enhance the success of peace operations. This asset is the Civil Affairs units which are specially trained to support the civil-military aspects of missions during either wartime or peacetime. This paper will discuss the United States use of Army Civil Affairs elements in the peace operations recently undertaken in Somalia and Rwanda plus a limited synopsis of the recent deployment to Haiti. First, it will provide an overview of emerging military doctrine and definitions of peace operations and operations other than war. It will include a brief review of the types of military activities in these operations and the complex environments in which they occur. Second, this paper will briefly review recent historical examples of US involvement in peace operations. This will be followed by a review of the organization, roles, and capabilities of Army Civil Affairs (CA) elements. Next, an overview of US military involvement in the recent missions in Somalia, Rwanda, and Haiti will follow. This discussion will include a summary of the utilization of CA elements in these operations. Finally, recommendations will be offered to strengthen planning and preparation for future military support of peace activities.
