Abstract

Abstract : Terminating a conflict under favorable conditions has been one of the most difficult tasks facing our nation's political and military leaders. Too frequently, history has shown that our fighting forces have been committed to conflicts in which there is no clear vision of the desired end-state or without military objectives that will help achieve national aims. This paper examines the role of military strategy in conflict termination. While U.S. military doctrine now links the strategic political aims of war and the battlefield tactical engagement, the military will continue to face a difficult task in formulating conflict termination strategies due to the lack of specificity in our national security strategy. Given this conclusion and the increasing complexity and frequency of conflicts in the post-Cold war environment, additional conflict termination guidance is required in U.S. military doctrine. Conflict termination, Military strategy.
