ESC's Middle East Studies

Abstract

This paper reviews current and past Engineer Studies Center (ESC) analytical efforts that address issues on or about US military operations in the Middle East. This paper also provides unclassified abstracts of classified ESC publications written about critical U.S. military issues in the Middle East. ESC found in its review that for over 33 years (1958 to 1991), it has provided high- quality, critical, and responsive studies that have helped U.S. military planners solve problems relating to operations in support of U.S. national interests in the Middle East. These studies address a wide range of topics and problems--from terrain analysis to the effectiveness of engineers in support of contingency operations. These studies look not only at engineer problems--but also at intelligence, logistical, and strategic planning problems.
