Types of war
• ‘The first, the supreme, the most far-reaching act of judgement that the statesman & commander have to make is to establish by that test the kind of war on which they are embarking; neither mistaking it for, nor trying to turn it into, something that is alien to its nature. This is the first of all strategic questions and the most comprehensive’.
Carl von Clausewitz, On War

Decision to intervene
• Impact on strategic interests:– Impacts on national security objectives.– Has significant economic implications.– Humanitarian crisis requiring intervention.– Forces already deployed to theatre.
• Ability to mitigate that impact by intervention:– Likelihood/ability of the international community to act.– Understanding of the conflict & likelihood of successful outcome.– Ability to provide sufficient resources for the required duration.– The impact of intervention on other crises & interests.

Peace Support Operations (PSO)
• An operation that impartially makes use of diplomatic, civil and military means, normally in pursuit of UN Charter purposes & principles, to restore or maintain peace.
• May include conflict prevention, peacemaking, peace enforcement, peacekeeping, peace-building &/or humanitarian operations.
![Page 11: International Operations](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814605550346895db311e3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

PSO Evolution
• Post World War 2 (e.g. UNTSO).
• The Cold War:– Traditional or Nordic peace-keeping
operations (e.g. UNFICYP).
• Post Cold War:– Peace Enforcement (e.g. UNPROFOR).– Comprehensive Approach.
• New Paradigm (e.g. Afghanistan/Iraq).

New Paradigm
• Removed previous assumptions about consent & impartiality.
• Neither guidelines for classic COIN nor PSO are adequate for tackling contemporary challenges:– State fragility.– Complex web of intervening actors.– Smaller forces.– Global networks.– Complexity of hostile groups.– Lethality of adversaries.

Stabilisation
• The process that supports states which are entering, enduring or emerging from conflict, in order to:– prevent or reduce violence; – protect the population & key infrastructure;– promote political processes & governance structures,
• ... leads to a political settlement that Establishes non-violent contests for power; & prepares for sustainable social & economic development.

Fragile and Failed States
• Countries that have significant presence of irregular activity sit within the spectrum:– Fragile State: viable host nation government, but
reduced capability to secure, protect & govern the population.
– Failed State: remnants of a host nation government may exist. However it does not have monopoly on use of force, cannot provide security or simple basic services, & is not sufficiently legitimate or effective to protect borders, citizens, or even itself.

Stabilisation
• Security is the foundation on which stabilisation is built. • Some security challenges may be quickly contained; but
in most demanding form may become a bloody insurgency.
• The insurgent must have the initiative taken from him. • However, defeating an insurgency is merely treating the
symptoms of the problem. • For long-term success, the campaign must address the
root causes of the instability, & that requires an approach combining economic, governance & security measures; a comprehensive approach.

Operational Guidance
• Over long term cannot kill or capture way to victory. – Kinetic operations should be subordinate to measures
to promote better government, economic programs & address grievances.
• Patient accumulation of quiet successes over time to discredit & defeat extremist movements & their ideology.

Comprehensive Approach (1)
• The co-ordination of civil & military planning is a basic tenet of the Comprehensive Approach.
• CIMIC is a practical application of the Comprehensive Approach at the operational & tactical levels.
• It is necessary throughout the spectrum of tension & conflict. – shaping the operational environment to the mutual benefit of
both military & civil actors.
• CIMIC should be an integral part of the Campaign Plan – from the outset of the planning process.
