Just Cause: Some Lessons Learned

Abstract

On 20 December 1989 the U.S. military initiated operations in Panama to accomplish U.S. national objectives. Operation JUST CAUSE has been described by many as a resounding success. As with any military operation, even successful ones, lessons can and should be learned. The events leading up to JUST CAUSE and those during the actual operation offer the military thinker/planner some useful tools to address some of the problems facing the future Army. This study deals with just a few of the military lessons with the purpose of inspiring critical thought and discussion.
