The U.S. Military's Reliance on Bottled Water During Military Operations
Abstract
he U.S. has been the world's leading superpower when it comes to capability and capacity since the end of WW II. History continues to show us that we will provide military forces in support of domestic, international conflicts and instability worldwide, now and in the future. With our capacity and capability we can do many things, especially provide drinkable water to our military forces, partners, and those we are tasked to help in support of the military and humanitarian operations we conduct. This thesis examines the U.S. military's increasing reliance on the use of bottled water in conducting these military operations. The U.S. military has been conducting operations across all spectrums of conflict throughout its history, and most recently in Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti and support to Japan. In all of these operations, the U.S. military was heavily reliant on the use of bottled water to support our forces, as part of the tool to help win the hearts and minds of the people in the execution of our mission.
