Unprepared Military during the Outbreak of Hostilities
Abstract
As in the case of Operation Just Cause it is evident that the United States military was prepared to execute combat operations. Unlike Operation Restore Hope, the United States military was not prepared to change from peacekeeping to peacemaking operations. Correcting this mistake or mindset is vital to the future successes of the military, whether tactically, operationally, or strategically. Leadership from the highest levels down to the fire team leader will determine whether the military is ready for future combat operations. Throughout history, leaders have had different ideas about training and executing combat operations. Along with that, the position of the government and the people will also have a dramatic affect on the success of any operation.
