This study investigates UN unity of effort and U.S. unity of
command of forces in Somalia from Operation Restore Hope throughout
United Nations Operation in Somalia II (UNOSOM II). The United
States, having directed a successful United Task Force coalition
effort, transferred command to the UN in May 1993 and took a
supporting role. The study documents military history in Somalia
and analyzes command relationships of American units and
multinational contingents. Research demonstrates that, following
the transition to UNOSOM II, unit of command did not exist for the
U.S. force commander in Somalia (USFORSCOM) and unity of effort was
not achieved by the UN. Command of U.S. forces was retained by
individual unit commanders or by the geographic commanders in chief
(CINC) himself. The senior American officer in-theater, USFORSCOM,
dual-hatted as the deputy UN force commander, was not in the direct
chain of command of U.S. contingent forces. Likewise, UN
contingents failed to support the UN Force Commander. This study
suggests that unity of command of U.S. forces in theater is a
prerequisite for successful military operations whether they are
U.S.-led or UN operations.
