This work is the product of research conducted by COL Matthew Klimow, US Army, while he was serving as a Visiting Defence Fellow at the Centre for International Relations, as a Senior Service College fellow (sponsored by the US Army War College). In it, lie addresses the humanitarian role of US forces. To what extent can and should the US armed forces fulfil humanitarian missions? What are the political and military pitfalls of such operations? And how does the US decide which humanitarian crises to intervene in? Theses questions are of critical significance to the development of US military doctrine and strategy in the post-Cold War era.
