Post-Conflict Strategic Requirements Workshop
Abstract
This Issue Paper summarizes the factual discussions and issues raised during the Center for Strategic Leadership, United States Army War College and the Foreign Service Institute Department of State hosted Post-Conflict Strategic Requirements Workshop conducted at Carlisle Barracks Pennsylvania November 28 to November 30, 2000. Participants included United States Ambassadors and United States military commanders experienced in affected regions distinguished subject matter experts from the interagency arena NGOs allied nations and the United Nations. The purpose of the Post-Conflict Strategic Requirements Workshop was to examine the United States military ground forces role in the post-conflict phase of operations. The workshop participants determined it was unnecessary to precisely define the meaning of the term "post-conflict" phase. It is the phase of an operation characterized as following the imposition of "order" within the disrupted society and is the phase that achieves the "transition" to self-sustaining peace, the prerequisite for the redeployment of United States forces. It is the phase that began some 120 days into the operations in Bosnia that has yet to conclude. The post-conflict phase is perhaps the most challenging, complex, and frustrating phase for the United States.
