THE UNITED STATES SOLDIER IN A NONVIOLENT ROLE (AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW)
Abstract
Throughout our Nation's history, the United States Army has engaged in numerous wars, both large and small. In all these conflicts the Army has operated under certain circumstances in a nonviolent manner. These instances show how the military professional often converts his military training and skills to purposes other than the delivery of violence. Essentially, nonviolent military activities center about the techniques of engineering, road construction, disaster relief, mass feeding, housing, medical aid, and the institution of health measures and sanitation facilities. The re-establishment of local government, and the maintenance of law and order also come within the scope of nonmilitary activities that may be operated by a military command.
