520 US Intervention Policy and Army Innovation examines how
the US Army rebuilt itself after the Vietnam War and how
this has affected US intervention policy, from the victory
of the Gulf War to the failure of Somalia, the Bosnian and
Kosovo interventions and the use of force post 9/11.
Richard Lock-Pullan analyzes the changes in US military
intervention strategy by examining two separate issues:
the nature of the US Army as it rebuilt itself after the
Vietnam War, and the attempts by the US to establish
criteria for future military interventions. He first
argues that US strategy traditionally relied upon national
mobilization to co-ordinate political aims and military
means; he subsequently analyzes how this changed to a
formula of establishing militarily achievable political
objectives prior to the use of force. Drawing on a vast
body of material and on strategic culture and military
innovation literature, Lock-Pullan demonstrates that the
strategic lessons were a product of the rebuilding of the
Army's identity as it became a professional all-volunteer
force and that the Army's new doctrine developed a new
'way of war' for the nation, embodied in the AirLand
Battle doctrine, which changed the approach to strategy.
This book finally gives a practical analysis of how the
interventions in Panama and the Gulf War vindicated this
approach and brought a revived confidence in the use of
force while more recent campaigns in Somalia, Kosovo and
Bosnia exposed its weaknesses and the limiting nature of
the Army's thinking. The legacy of the Army's innovation
is examined in the new strategic environment post 9/11
with the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq
