This edited volume explores stability, security, transition and
reconstruction operations (SSTR), highlighting the challenges and
opportunities they create for the US Navy. The book argues that
SSTR operations are challenging because they create new missions
and basing modes, and signal a return to traditional naval methods
of operation. Mission accomplishment requires collaboration with a
wide range of actors representing governmental, non-governmental
and commercial organizations, which often creates politically and
bureaucratically charged issues for those involved. However,
although from a traditional warfighting perspective, stability
operations might be viewed as having little to do with preparing
for high-intensity conventional combat, these kinds of operations
in fact correspond to traditional missions related to diplomacy,
engagement, maritime domain awareness, piracy and smuggling, and
intervention to quell civil disturbances. SSTR operations can be
therefore depicted as a return to traditional naval operations,
albeit operations that might not be universally welcomed in all
quarters.
