Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
The military's role in war fighting is unquestioned, but its
responsibilities in peace operations are both controversial and
poorly understood. The U.S. military has conducted an operation
related to peacekeeping, peacemaking, or post-conflict occupation
roughly every two years since the end of the Cold War. The
important role of the Department of State in post-conflict
operations also is evolving. Despite these frequent post-conflict
operations, the United States struggles in planning and conducting
military interventions and post-conflict operations. Join us for a
discussion on Iraq Reconstruction and the practical imperatives of
nation-building.
