This 2005 report presents a case-study approach to analyzing stabilization and reconstruction (S&R) capabilities in post-conflict environment,s spanning from the Roman Empire to the post-WWII era. The report states that enhancing S&R capabilities is vital to US interests, which necessitates improvements in cross-government operations. The authors argue that the S&R operations need to become core competencies of both the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the US Department of State (DoS). In conclusion, the report claims to reflect on the growing need to consider the military as part of a larger set of national security tools.
