Abstract:
Winning the peace is part of fighting and winning the war. Historically, American occupations tend to be ad hoc affairs. We do a poor job at interagency operations and we expect war-fighting military structures to adapt to post-conflict operations. We should put in place a structure better suited to 21st century wars.
