Strategy In Operation Just Cause: A Framework for Analysis

Abstract

A complex series of events forced the US senior leadership into the realization that the invasion of Panama and removal of General Manuel Antonio Noreiga from power was imperative to protect US national interests. After careful consideration of US objectives and available resources, very specific plans and concepts were developed. The campaign plan, although clearly articulated and precise, was influenced by many outside factors. Leadership, doctrine, strategy, technology, political-military integration, air power and joint warfighting all played a critical role in shaping these courses of action for Operation Just Cause, providing an excellent framework for analysis. Strategy, Operation, Framework, Analysis.
