A Comprehensive Approach to Countersurgency: The U.S. Military Occupation of the Dominican Republic, 1916-1924

Abstract

Despite many early setbacks, the U. S. government's unwavering commitment to its political objectives complimented its military efforts to defeat the insurgents and establish a competent Dominican constabulary. This comprehensive approach to counterinsurgency operations enabled the United States to negotiate favorable terms in the Hughes-Peynado Accord of 1922 and successfully end its military occupation of the Dominican Republic in 1924.
