Abstract

This report documents research and analysis conducted as part of a project entitled Costs of Not Intervening, sponsored by the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7, U.S. Army. The purpose of this project was to develop a framework to assess the trade-offs between delaying or forgoing interventions and intervening in the early stages of an armed conflict in order to inform U.S. Army and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) planning and decisions regarding whether and when to initiate U.S. military interventions.
