2. "In one moment in time, our service members will be feeding and clothing displaced refugees - providing humanitarian assistance. In the next moment, they will be holding two warring tribes apart - conducting peacekeeping operations. Finally, they will be fighting a highly lethal mid-intensity battle. All on the same day, all within three city blocks. It will be what we call the three block war."
- General Charles C. Krulak, USMC
Charles C. Krulak, "The Three Block War: Fighting in Urban Areas," National Press Club, Vital Speeches of the Day, 15 December 1997
In the future, peacekeeping and, to a lesser extent, peace enforcement operations will remain essentially police actions, requiring a long-term, highly visible, traditional infantry "presence" to create an aura of normalcy and stability. On the other hand, we believe that mid-intensity war in urban areas can be successfully prosecuted using rapid strikes conducted by specialized urban forces equipped with future advanced technology systems. In this article, we will briefly outline our vision of future urban operations, examine the capabilities required to achieve this vision, and discuss the development of the advanced Urban Warfighter System that will help provide these capabilities.

4. Stability / SupportOperations Stability: promote and protect US national interests by influencing the threat, political, and information dimensions of the operational environment ... Support: employ Armed Forces to assist civil authorities (foreign or domestic) as they prepare for or respond to crises and relieve suffering The Army conducts full spectrum operations to accomplish missions in both war and military operations other than war (MOOTW). Full spectrum operations include offensive, defensive, stability, and support operations. Stability operations and support operations predominate in MOOTW that may include certain small scale contingencies and peacetime military engagement.
Stability Operations promote and protect US national interests by influencing the threat, political, and information dimensions of the operational environment through a combination of peacetime developmental, cooperative activities, and coercive actions in response to crisis.
Support Operations employ Armed Forces to assist civil authorities (foreign or domestic) as they prepare for or respond to crises and relieve suffering.
US Forces conduct these operations to deter war, resolve conflict, promote peace, strengthen democratic processes, retain US influence or access abroad, assist US civil authorities, and support moral and legal imperatives.The Army conducts full spectrum operations to accomplish missions in both war and military operations other than war (MOOTW).

5. It is the intent of Congress to provide an Army that is capable of ... Preserving peace and security, and providing for the defense of the US, the Territories, Commonwealths, possessions, and any areas occupied by the US
Supporting the national policies
Implementing the national objectives
Overcoming any nations responsible for aggressive acts that imperil the peace and security of the US Army forces are employed worldwide in stability operations and support operation for two key reasons:
1. Policy and legal basis for such activities exist
2. Army capabilities are often the best choice to meet the requirement
History has shown that stability and support operations are an integral part of the military contribution to those objectives. The Army responds because it can rapidly marshal and apply the required resources and capabilities. The Army has the ability to:
Task Organize
Deploy or be employed
Use logistic systems
Control terrain and influence the population (in the area of operations)

7. Support Operations(Two Broad Types) Domestic Support Operations
Foreign Humanitarian Assistance Two types of support operations exist: domestic support (DSO) and foreign humanitarian assistance (FHA). The subordinate forms of these types are
1. Relief Operations
2. Support to WMD Incidents
3. Support to Civil Law Enforcement
4. Community Assistance
DSO are usually conducted after the President declares an emergency - however they can also be conducted under imminently serious conditions. The Army normally responds to domestic emergencies in support of another federal agency.
FHA operations apply Army forces to supplement the efforts of the host nation civil authorities by conducting activities limited in both scope and duration. The Army participates in these unilateral, multinational, or international operations through agencies such as the United Nations.Two types of support operations exist: domestic support (DSO) and foreign humanitarian assistance (FHA).

Balance of Power - shifting and unstable power balances threaten to engage the vital interests of the US.
Nationalism - nationalist movements arise from the belief that nations benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.
Clash of Cultures - rejection of Western political and cultural values
Demographics - population growth strains the resources and social structures of the state affected.
Ungovernability - the ability of governments to govern effectively is being eroded in much of the world (immature government infrastructures/organized crime).
Environmental Risks - natural disasters and changes in climate can ruin the regions economy and send the populace across borders / refugees.
Propaganda - used to control public opinion or awareness

14. Foreign Internal Defense Categories
Indirect Support - military exchange programs, joint and multinational exercises, security assistance
Direct Support - civil military operations, intelligence and communications sharing, logistics support
Combat Operations - temporary solution until HN forces can stabilize
Counterinsurgency
HN Security Force Operations - protect / isolate the populations from insurgents and/or neutralize / defeat the guerrilla forces
The Role of the US Army - centers on administering and execute security assistance programs
Planning Considerations Foreign Internal Defense (FID) is a primary program used to support friendly nations operating in or threatened with potential hostilities. FID promotes regional stability by supporting a host nation program of internal defense and development.
Ideally this program will incorporate all elements in a synergistic manner that best supports both HN requirements and US national policy and interests.
Categories: The military plays an important role supporting role in the FID programs. It should be noted that the following categories can occur simultaneously.
Indirect Support - military exchange programs, joint and multinational exercises, security assistance
Direct Support - civil military operations, intelligence and communications sharing, logistics support
Combat Operations - temporary solution until HN forces can stabilize
Counterinsurgency: actions taken by a government to defeat an organized movement aimed to overthrow a constituted government through subversion and armed conflict.
HN Security Force Operations - protect or isolate the populations from insurgents and/or neutralize, defeat the guerrilla forces
The Role of the US Army - centers on administering and execute security assistance programs
Planning Considerations: must consider the long-term or strategic effects of all US assistance efforts before implementing FID programs.Foreign Internal Defense (FID) is a primary program used to support friendly nations operating in or threatened with potential hostilities.

15. There is another type of warfare - new in its intensity, ancient in its origin - war by guerrillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins; war by ambush instead of by combat, by infiltration instead of aggression, seeking victory by eroding and exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him It prays on unrest Our forces, therefore, must fulfill a broader role, as a complement to our diplomacy, as an army of our diplomacy, as a deterrent to our adversaries, and as a symbol to our allies of our determination to support them.John F. Kennedy The quote by John F. Kennedy found in FM 3-07, page 3-4, plays on the role of the US in FID.

17. Peace Operations The broad term peace operations encompasses peacekeeping operations and peace enforcement operations conducted in support of diplomatic efforts to establish and maintain peace.
The US Army will participate in PO, either as part of a UN, NATO, multinational force, or unilaterally. The broad term peace operations encompasses peacekeeping operations and peace enforcement operations conducted in support of diplomatic efforts to establish and maintain peace.
The US Army will participate in PO, either as part of a UN, NATO, multinational force, or unilaterally. However, unilateral employment is the least prevalent option; the US usually prefers the enhanced legitimacy of a multinational force.
These operations are multi-agency operations involving diplomatic and humanitarian agencies with the military in support to prevent, control, and contain a complex emergency; redress the peace; or shape the environment to support reconciliation and rebuilding.The broad term peace operations encompasses peacekeeping operations and peace enforcement operations conducted in support of diplomatic efforts to establish and maintain peace.

supervising disengagement's and withdrawals
supervising prisoner of war exchanges
assisting civil authorities
providing military support to elections
assisting in the maintenance of public order
assisting in foreign humanitarian assistance operations Lightly armed forces normally perform supervision and assistance missions. The force undertaking these tasks requires large service support organizations, equipment, and finances.

20. Peace Enforcement Normally conducted in several phases
Phase I
insertion of rapid deployable combat forces to establish a significant and visible military presence
Subsequent Phases
stabilizing the area and transitioning from a military presence to support for the development of a competent civil authority Peace enforcement (PE) is the application of military force or the threat of its use, normally pursuant to international authorization, to compile compliance with resolutions or sanctions designed to maintain or restore peace and order.
The forces employed for such operations will be armed and equipped based on commanders estimates and the factors of METT-TC.

separate belligerents
disarm belligerents
demobilization
internment/resettlement operations
Establishment and Supervision of Protected Areas
demilitarize areas that may contain residents, refugees, or displaced persons Forcible separation of belligerents - this eruption poses the highest risk of any PE subordinate operations and involves:
a. separating belligerents
b. disarming belligerents
c. demobilization
d. internment/resettlement operations

22. Peace Enforcement (subordinate operations) Sanction and Exclusion Zone Enforcement
Movement Denial and Guarantee
Restoration and Maintenance of Order
Protection of Humanitarian Assistance The following are more subordinate categories of peace enforcement.
A. Sanction and Exclusion Zone Enforcement - enforcement of sanctions include a broad range and have traditionally been considered acts of war, even though endorsed by the UN Security Council and commanders should posture their forces accordingly.
B. Movement Denial and Guarantee - forces may be authorized to use force to prevent unauthorized movement of military forces instead of merely to observing and reporting activity. Forces guarantee transit rights of noncombatants, NGOs, or other groups through their controlling presence and deterrence.
C. Restoration and Maintenance of Order - conducted to halt violence and to support, reinstate, or establish civil authorities.
D. Protection of Humanitarian Assistance -may be tasked to provide protection for humanitarian assistance, to include protection of NGOs.The following are more subordinate categories of peace enforcement.

23. Operations in Support of Diplomatic Efforts Preventive diplomacy
Peacemaking
Peace building Military support of diplomatic efforts improves the chances for success in the peace process by lending credibility to diplomatic actions and demonstrating resolve to achieve viable political settlements.
While these activities are primarily the responsibility of civilian agencies, the Army forces may support diplomatic initiatives such as preventive diplomacy, peacemaking, and peace building.
Preventive diplomacy consists of diplomatic actions taken in advance of a predictable crisis to prevent or limit violence.
Peacemaking is a process of diplomacy, mediation, negotiation, or other forms of peaceful settlement.
Peace-building consists of post-conflict actions, predominately diplomatic and economic, that strengthen and rebuild government infrastructure and institutions in order to avoid a relapse into conflict.Military support of diplomatic efforts improves the chances for success in the peace process by lending credibility to diplomatic actions and demonstrating resolve to achieve viable political settlements.

24. Concept of Employment Complex contingencies do not spring up overnight. Identify the early symptoms and attempt resolution, usually before the situation attracts the attention of the international media
Complex contingencies do not spring up overnight. In the case of humanitarian crises, various organizations including governmental and non-governmental organizations will identify the early symptoms and attempt resolution, usually before the situation attracts the attention of the international media.
The military objective is to create the conditions for other political, economic, and humanitarian peace building activities to achieve the political objective stated in the mandate and to transition from involvement.

25. Fundamentals of Peace Operations Consent
Impartiality
Transparency
Restraint
Credibility
Freedom of Movement
Flexibility
Civil-Military Operations
Legitimacy
Perseverance
The following fundamentals apply specifically to peace operations. Commanders and participants should understand these concepts as they conduct peace operations: Consent, Impartiality, Transparency, Restraint, Credibility, Freedom of Movement, Flexibility, Civil-Military Operations, Legitimacy, Perseverance.
Although restraint, legitimacy, and perseverance are all elements of the principles of war, they have particular significance in peace operations.
1. The level of consent determines fundamentals of the operation; one side may consent the other may not. Commanders should seek ways to promote consent by making the parties shareholders in the peace process.
2. Impartiality requires the PO force to act on behalf of the peace process and mandate, and not show preference for any faction over another.
3. Transparency means that the PO force must communicate its intentions and capabilities to all audiences.
4. Restraint is an exercise in the prudent and appropriate application of military capability; restraints on weaponry, tactics, and levels of violence characterize the environment of PO.
5. Credibility reflects the warring factions assessment of the capability of the PO force to accomplish its mission.
6. Freedom of movement equates to maintaining the initiative, as amplified in the mandate, no restrictions are allowed against the movement of the peace force or of the civilian population.
7. The complex multinational and interagency environment in which US forces conduct PO require commanders at all levels to place a premium on initiative and flexibility.
8. Civil-Military Operations have always interacted with each other and they help harmonize civilian and military activities to maximize the use of resources designed to redress the deprivation and suffering of the people.
9. Legitimacy is required to sustain the willing acceptance by the people of the right of the government (or group) to govern or make and carry out decisions.
10. Perseverance requires an information strategy that clearly explains the goals, objectives, and desired end states and links them with US interests and concerns.
The following fundamentals apply specifically to peace operations. Commanders and participants should understand these concepts as they conduct peace operations: Consent, Impartiality, Transparency, Restraint, Credibility, Freedom of Movement, Flexibility, Civil-Military Operations, Legitimacy, Perseverance.
Although restraint, legitimacy, and perseverance are all elements of the principles of war, they have particular significance in peace operations.
1. The level of consent determines fundamentals of the operation; one side may consent the other may not. Commanders should seek ways to promote consent by making the parties shareholders in the peace process.
2. Impartiality requires the PO force to act on behalf of the peace process and mandate, and not show preference for any faction over another.
3. Transparency means that the PO force must communicate its intentions and capabilities to all audiences.
4. Restraint is an exercise in the prudent and appropriate application of military capability; restraints on weaponry, tactics, and levels of violence characterize the environment of PO.
5. Credibility reflects the warring factions assessment of the capability of the PO force to accomplish its mission.
6. Freedom of movement equates to maintaining the initiative, as amplified in the mandate, no restrictions are allowed against the movement of the peace force or of the civilian population.
7. The complex multinational and interagency environment in which US forces conduct PO require commanders at all levels to place a premium on initiative and flexibility.
8. Civil-Military Operations have always interacted with each other and they help harmonize civilian and military activities to maximize the use of resources designed to redress the deprivation and suffering of the people.
9. Legitimacy is required to sustain the willing acceptance by the people of the right of the government (or group) to govern or make and carry out decisions.
10. Perseverance requires an information strategy that clearly explains the goals, objectives, and desired end states and links them with US interests and concerns.
26. Command and Control Command Relations
Coordination US military forces will normally operate as party of a multinational peace force and the preferred command relationship in PEO is lead nation or lead alliance; providing the peace force commander with the maximum control of forces where the risk may be high.
Coordinated plans are essential for success in all PO and provide the civil-military interface that synchronizes the efforts of the various agencies assisting the peace process; whether objectives are humanitarian, political, or military, synchronization of effort is essential.

27. Intelligence Human Intelligence
Intelligence synchronization
Tactical tailoring
Broadcast dissemination
Functions
Indications and Warning
Preparation of the Battlefield
Situational Development
Targeting and target Development
Support for Force Protection Intelligence collection and productions is challenging in peace operations. The situation in the AO often reflects a convoluted historical process and the area may be remote. Several principles contribute to the success of intelligence support to peace operations:
Human Intelligence is the dominant discipline; collecting against all participants, to support not only the military operation but also the political process in which the military is involved.
Intelligence synchronization takes a broader dimension; considering multinational participants, many of whom do not have information sharing agreements with the US.
Intelligence architecture must be task organized and the tactical commander of PO needs the intelligence to the tactical level.
Broadcast dissemination is PO facilitates the push of information to commanders in the field; encompassing the various coalition command, control, communication, and intelligence guidelines.
Intelligence Functions fall into five different categories:
Indications and warning - monitoring potential situations that would change or alter the mandate of the forces.
Intelligence preparation of the battlefield - a continuous process that gathers information on areas in which a unit might be required to operate.
Situational development - the effort will be long term; predictive intelligence ensures that operations continue and initiative is sustained.
Targeting and target development - targets can include civil and military leaders who control or influence the local population or the assets that these leaders use to achieve their ends.
Support for Force Protection - early coordination for intelligence support to protect the force should be conducted with allies, partners, and the host nation.

28. Information Operations Nature and Fundamentals
The commander takes the lead
Support IO with intelligence
Establish and sustain an integrated team approach
Anticipate and respond with speed, accuracy, and truth
Involve every soldier
Maintain transparency
Gain and maintain access to the information environment
Prepare for IO before development Offensive IO and the related activities of public affairs and CMO strengthen both consent and the legitimacy of the operation through the fundamental of transparency. Information is the peace operations commanders primary means to influence groups of people to change attitudes and behavior.
Commanders set the tone and drive the operation; taking the lead. The commanders must make this their personal focus so that the entire force can speak with one voice.
The IO planner will require such products as nodal and link analysis based on accurate and up-to-date intelligence.
Successful IO requires synchronizing all participants involved in the peace process; including nonmilitary agencies.
Timing is essential in shaping perceptions. The public affairs officer must know operations as they unfold and release information when possible.
Remember that every soldier is an ambassador and the more they influence populations, the better; ensure they understand the operation and can articulate it well.
Always disseminate relevant information, including bad news and mistakes; supporting the legitimacy of the operation.
Gain and maintain access to the information environment through websites or direct association with the media.
Army forces should not wait until they receive deployment orders to begin to address the informational aspects of the operating and hope to gain the initiative.Offensive IO and the related activities of public affairs and CMO strengthen both consent and the legitimacy of the operation through the fundamental of transparency.
