Guide to Rebuilding Public Sector Services in Stability Operations: A Role for the Military

v, [1], 49, [1] p. Illustrations. Bibliography. Endnotes. From Wikipedia: "Stability and support operations is a US military term for operations involve military forces providing safety and support to friendly noncombatants while suppressing threatening forces. SASO operations can occur in everything from natural disaster areas (earthquakes, storms and flooding) to insurgencies (revolts, social upheavals). The extent of SASO operations can range from interacting with the local population to military operations with specific rules of engagement. The underlying dynamics of SASO and related "stabilization" activities have proven controversial and are the subject of increasing academic and policy-level debate." This is one of the PKSOI Papers. "The U.S. Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute (PKSOI) was established in 2003 as an integral component of the Center for Strategic Leadership at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pa. The Institute's charter and structure are designed to meet the future needs of the U.S. Army and the U.S. military across a broad range of peacekeeping and stability operations. In addition, PKSOI provides continuity with the body of knowledge developed from 1993-2003 by the U.S. Army Peacekeeping Institute (PKI)." Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling.…
