Military Operational Measures of Effectiveness for Peacekeeping Operations

Abstract

PKD/OOTW by military forces has been the primary focus of military operations since 1982. The most recent example of U.S. troops deployed to Kosovo in support of Operation Joint Guardian demonstrates that there is not a pre-determined end state for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region. Military forces play a vital role by performing security tasks, to include humanitarian assistance, and conducting information operations and civil affairs functions. Lessons have been learned in Kosovo concerning the proper sequence of establishing law and order, coordinating interagency activities, implementing an interim government, and embedding the media. Certain operational measures of effectiveness can be used to determine when each phase of the operation is complete in order to determine when the conditions are established for the transfer of control from military to civilian authorities.
