Haiti and the Future of Warfare

Abstract

Lately, there has been a lot of debate about how military operations are changing. Changes in information technology and the ability to transmit new types of information may be affecting the character of warfare. The end of the Cold War along with other social and political changes are also seen as important harbingers of change in the way military forces are used. Some believe that we are either in, or at the beginning of, a revolution in military affairs (RMA). This study looks at what planning and events surrounding a recent operation. Operation Uphold Democracy, the US led intervention in Haiti, tells us about the question: What do changes in technology and operations mean for the operational level (Joint Task Force) commander.
