Abstract:

In the Spring of 2001, OPNAV N816 requested that CNA expand upon its December 2000 U.S. Naval Responses to Situations, 1970-1999 study. In that work, we had examined U.S. naval forces responses to situations over a thirty year period from 1970 onward, not including the operations in Vietnam and in Caribbean drug traffic patrols. Our new tasking asked that we consider the record of U.S. Navy contingency response in the context of overall American military response activity over the last three decades. This report summarizes our examination of all services s responses, not just those of U.S. naval forces, with an extension through the year 2002.
