Description
Summary:Operation "Stabilise" illustrated successful coalition peace operations using well-coordinated strategic communications, an effective employment scheme, & solid tactical cooperation. The key to its effectiveness were dynamic leadership & command that was responsive to the national cultures of the forces involved. "Stabilise" showed that regional partners can respond effectively to restore stability in neighboring states & that superpower intervention need not be dominant or domineering. Finally, "Stabilise" showed that Chapter VII operations can be accomplished under regional leadership & transitioned to UN authorities on time. 1 Map. Adapted from the source document.
