This report explains why the US should carry through current plans to create a federal level police reserve for international peace and stability operations. The author argues that the US has repeatedly needed highly capable police forces after international interventions but has lacked the capacity to respond effectively, establishing a pattern of failing to deal with large-scale breakdowns in public order after conflicts. The case studies featured in this report are a review of US interventions and provide lessons applicable to future operations.
