This work is a doctrinal examination of war termination strategy
and conflict resolution as a dependent pair, requiring a plan to
achieve both in unison in advance of a fight. The necessity of a
plan for conflict resolution should be intuitively obvious for
policymakers, yet a survey of recent conflicts, including
Afghanistan and Iraq, shows that not to be the case. Beyond Guns
and Steel: A War Termination Strategy provides a practical approach
to establishing a plan for war termination and conflict resolution
before the bullets fly. In explaining the difference between
strategy and policy, Colonel Dominic J. Caraccilo clarifies the
most important, and often the most constraining, element of a
nation's power-its resources. He posits that termination strategy
and conflict resolution are interdependent and need to be included
in conflict plans from the outset. Caraccilo's book fills a void in
current strategy for the development of long-term plans that bring
conflicts to timely and acceptable conclusions, providing a
methodology that allows interagency requirements and resources for
war termination to be defined, allocated, and employed effectively.
Examples taken from the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,
along with models of war termination successes and failures to
enhance the understanding of scenarios for possible resolution A
full array of definitions offering clarity for the reader seeking
to grasp the book's methodology for war termination Primary source
documentation related to the author's seven combat deployments to
the Middle East and over five years of personal involvement in
combat and its aftermath. Vignettes from history dating from the
Revolutionary War to the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
Sidebars offering relevant charts, graphs, and newspaper articles
Examples of conflict resolution to enhance an understanding of war
termination outcomes Firsthand accounts from various military
officers in the form of Staff College manuscripts A robust listing
of books, interviews, documents, and articles on war termination
and conflict resolution theories
