Key Enablers for Peacekeeping & Stability Operations

by U.S. Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute

It is imperative that planners of peacekeeping and stability operations consider the full range of resources, systems, and tools that could be brought to bear to facilitate mission success for the forces involved. In this SOLLIMS Sampler, we present just a few of these “enablers” – specific resources, systems, and tools that have worked particularly well in support of recent and ongoing operations, including Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan and several peacekeeping operations in Africa. The “enablers” highlighted in this volume •“Information gathering and analysis” mechanisms•Civ-mil planning teams (i.e., Interagency planning teams)•Strategic messaging / information operations•Police units – with policewomen•“Peace building” programs•Governance capacity-building strategies•Civilian Casualty (CIVCAS) prevention measures
