Abstract:
|
This paper examines how the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have adapted their force design and doctrine to address the increase in stabilization and reconstruction (S&R) missions since the end of the Cold War. Fully understanding the changes made by the Army and Marine Corps requires examining a path not taken in the post-Cold War by the U.S. military: the creation of constabulary units. The fact that the U.S. has chosen not to develop a constabulary specifically designed for S&R missions is all the more perplexing since the country has developed this capability before—in post-World War II Germany. Six other democratic countries currently have constabularies, some of which have joined the United States in Iraq or Afghanistan, and that U.S. officials hope will join America in future S&R missions. But as their histories demonstrate, these other constabularies were created primarily for the internal defense of their respective countries, making their availability for massive external deployments in the future doubtful. The United Kingdom’s military, which has performed many occupations in the country’s colonial history and includes constabulary-like capabilities, is considered a potential model for the U.S. to follow. That said, the myriad of differences between the U.S. and U.K. forces probably rules out U.S. emulation. The paper concludes by examining U.S. constabularies in history, in particular, the misused historical metaphor of Task Force Smith. |
