Peace-Enforcement and the United States Military for the Start of the 21st Century

Abstract

This monograph discusses the utility of the Weinberger Criteria for peace-enforcement decisions into the 21st Century. The mission of peace- enforcement and the new world order require US decision makers to review their criteria for employment of US combat forces. This monograph examines the six tests of the 1984 Weinberger Criteria to see if they are sufficient for the 21st Century decision maker. The monograph first presents the six tests of the Weinberger Criteria and applies them to the 1965 Dominican Republic intervention to gain a historical perspective. Next, a new world order is developed out to the year 2010. The Weinberger Criteria and the Dominican intervention perspective are then applied to the proposed new world order. Peace-enforcement, Weinberger criteria, New world order, 21ST Century, Dominican Republic, Intervention, Paradigm.
