Stability, Security, Reconstruction, and Transition Operations by Cynthia A. Watson Pdf

This book examines how the United States's extensive nation-building and stability operations will continue to evolve in the 21st century in the face of ever-growing budgetary concerns and constraints. Stability, Security, Reconstruction, and Transition Operations: A Guide to the Issues puts the people, places, and events crucial to nation-building and security operations through U.S. experiences under the microscope. This book focuses on the period after the Cold War, when U.S. operations proliferated, but also outlines the development of U.S. strategic decisions on nation-building and stability operations in a chronological fashion, providing documentation of these actions throughout American history. Original documents are provided and referenced to clarify concepts. With the increased attention on recent events in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, and Libya, the United States's actions and policies of nation-building are now a key public policy discussion topic, and an understanding of these topics is critical for students, scholars, and general readers alike.

Stability, Security, Reconstruction, and Transition Operations by Anonim Pdf

The decisions that led to the nation-building efforts of the post-Cold War world resulted from both the end of the bipolar global environment and the 9/11 attacks caused by terrorists provided refuge in states without effective governance. At the same time, the United States also has a historical thread of trying to build better societies for the benefit of all. At times, the noble cause of providing reconstruction or humanitarian assistance has proven to be a shining light that the United States has shown to the world; the decisions taken in the hours and days following the devastating December 26, 2004 tsunami did much to raise the view of the United States in a world that had become skeptical as a result of the war in Iraq over the two prior years. Sadly, the November 1992 decision to provide food and humanitarian aid, which lead to taking sides in the clan warfare characterizing Somalia, proved heartbreaking for the nation as it watched U.S. Army personnel dragged through the streets of the capital city of Mogadishu on October 3rd of the following year. This volume considers the decisions taken around these actions over the past two plus decades. We now use the terms stability operations, security operations, reconstruction operations, and transition operations (SSRTOs) to describe these different goals more accurately. The volume establishes the primary documents, speeches, and other products of the policy-making community, and then provides analysis of what was occurring and the significance of the individual decisions. It also highlights the personnel and tries to shed light on their motivations, concerns, and the ramifications. This volume concludes with a descriptive list of resources in the field of stability, security, reconstruction, and transition operations.

Nation-Building and Stability Operations by Cynthia A. Watson Pdf

Addressing the range of nation-building experiences and concerns in the United States and its allies, Watson opens with a discussion of Somalia, Haiti, and Southeastern European experiences during the 1990s. She then shifts to a discussion of the more recent lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan since the beginning of the Global War on Terrorism. An examination of the growing emphasis within the U.S. government focused on the education officers at the flag rank in combined, joint, and multinational aspects of military activities that form the basis of nation-building underscores the pace of changes taking place today. As nation-building and stability operations have expanded, so too should the discussion of such activities. With increasing pressure on the United States to engage in actions abroad in the long War on Terrorism, a greater understanding among the American public of what is involved in this area is absolutely crucial. The U.S. has been involved in numerous nation-building activities. Watson breaks down the operational and doctrinal shifts that have occurred in military and political circles during the last twenty years in this introductory overview of the topic. She supplements her narrative with brief biographical essays focused on individuals such as Marine General (Ret.) and U.S. commander in Somalia (1992-1994), Anthony Zinni and others who influenced the course of nation-building and stabilization processes now in place. Their impact is underscored in the documents Watson includes, which are taken from various studies, laws, and debates on the subject at hand, making this a useful work for both students and specialists.

Naval Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Operations by James J. Wirtz,Jeffrey A. Larsen Pdf

This edited volume explores stability, security, transition and reconstruction operations (SSTR), highlighting the challenges and opportunities they create for the US Navy. The book argues that SSTR operations are challenging because they create new missions and basing modes, and signal a return to traditional naval methods of operation. Mission accomplishment requires collaboration with a wide range of actors representing governmental, non-governmental and commercial organizations, which often creates politically and bureaucratically charged issues for those involved. However, although from a traditional warfighting perspective, stability operations might be viewed as having little to do with preparing for high-intensity conventional combat, these kinds of operations in fact correspond to traditional missions related to diplomacy, engagement, maritime domain awareness, piracy and smuggling, and intervention to quell civil disturbances. SSTR operations can be therefore depicted as a return to traditional naval operations, albeit operations that might not be universally welcomed in all quarters.

Preparing the Army for Stability Operations by Thomas S. Szayna,Derek Eaton,Amy Frances Richardson Pdf

In 2004-2006, the U.S. government acted to revise the way that the planning and implementation of Stabilization, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) operations are conducted. The primary emphasis of the changes was on ensuring a common U.S. strategy rather than a collection of individual departmental and agency efforts and on mobilizing and involving all available U.S. government assets in the effort. The proximate reason for the policy shift stems from the exposing of gaps in the U.S. ability to administer Afghanistan and Iraq after the U.S.-led ousters of the Taliban and Ba'athist regimes. But the effort to create U.S. government capabilities to conduct SSTR operations in a more unified and coherent fashion rests on the deeper conviction that, as part of the U.S. strategy to deal with transnational terrorist groups, the United States must have the capabilities to increase the governance capacities of weak states, reduce the drivers of and catalysts to conflict, and assist in peacebuilding at all stages of pre- or post-conflict transformation. According to the Joint Operating Concept for Military Support to SSTR operations, these operations are civilian-led and conducted and coordinated with the involvement of all the available resources of the U.S. government (military and civilian), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international partners. Although military assets are an essential component of many SSTR operations, specific military goals and objectives are only a portion of the larger SSTR operation.
