Panama/Gulf War Invasion Comparative

Abstract

As operations of peacekeeping are becoming the mission far Americas involvement in the development of a sovereign country's desire to democratize their society within. However, operations of keeping the peace may sometimes take a turn for the worse and causes the U.S. to engage with brute force. There are two operations which come to mind that I believe share similarities, but have very different results in the application of intelligence and cultural knowledge. Operations in Panama and during the Gulf War both changed to armed intervention. What issues caused one force to succeed and the other to fail? Mainly, cultural awareness, preparedness, and continuity are vital factors for each. During my research I will present my opinions for each conflict and the major issues which contributed to the success or failure for both military interventions.
