Operations Across the Spectrum of Conflict-What Suffers?

Abstract

The strategic setting has changed in the recent past, and with the change U.S. Forces find themselves more involved with MOOTW. Despite this increased involvement with MOOYW, Force training, structure and equipment are still focused at the war end of the spectrum of conflict. The paper takes a look at why our forces trains almost totally for wartime tasks, structure for war and to a lesser degree why doctrine lags, despite MOOTW. Recommendations are then offered that point CINCS and forces towards a more specialized and focused approach to either the MOOTW or war side of the spectrum. The conclusion arrived aat is that it is time to study and make appropriate changes to insure improved readiness and capabilities across the spectrum of conflict.
