Operations "Just Cause" and "Promote Liberty": The Implications of Military Operations Other Than War

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the situation that led up to the intervention in Panama and the complexity of the issues that influenced the actions of the U.S. Military and Government. This campaign involved two major operations and was unique because it contained many aspects of Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). The military actions conducted during the campaign were underpinned by political objectives that could not be entirely resolved by the military alone. Using the Six principles of MOOTW as template, I examined the multifaceted operations that took place to determine how the military and political objectives were achieved.
