As this overview seeks to remind the reader, the United States had
a military presence in Somalia from December 1992 to the end of
March 1994. A principal aim of the authors was to provide an
analytical narrative of each phase of the US military involvement
in Somalia. The authors address planning for a multinational
intervention; workable and unworkable command and control
arrangements; the advantages and problems inherent in coalition
operations; the need for cultural awareness in a clan-based society
whose status as a nation-state is problematic; the continuous
adjustments required by a dynamic, often unpredictable situation;
the political dimension of military activities at the operational
and tactical levels; and the ability to match military power and
capabilities to the mission at hand. This case study also cautions
against the misuse of "lessons learned."
