The U.S. missions to Bosnia and Kosovo and the current operation in
Iraq make it clear that winning wars accomplishes little if we
cannot also win the peace. The strategic goals for which the wars
are fought can only be achieved if the follow-on mission leaves an
occupied territory more stable and democratic than before.
Civilmilitary cooperation (CIMIC) is the key to achieving such
stability. Although such cooperation has occurred in the past, the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization developed its own CIMIC doctrine
in response to the humanitarian interventions of the 1990s.
Humanitarian intervention requires the intervening military force
to provide security and lend its considerable assets to relief
operations and rebuilding. CIMIC provides the mechanism for such
cooperation and support. Like any concept employed in coalition
warfare, CIMIC application varies widely. Examining diverse
national approaches to CIMIC in the field reveals best practices
and common mistakes.
