“…The result was widespread anarchy and lawlessness. 13 Operation JUST CAUSE, and the follow-on post-conflict operation PROMOTE LIBERTY, are notable and distinct in several ways worthy of examination. First, JUST CAUSE is the most recent truly unilateral military intervention taken by the U.S.. As such, it goes against the prevailing "multinational coalition" model of future conflicts and the interagency cooperation model of post-conflict operations-but is for that reason worth examining.…”

This research paper examines the nature of post-conflict operations at the operational level of war. The central thesis of the paper is that post-conflict operations are a critical phase of a conflict, are unique and separate from otherseemingly similarapplications of military force, and the tasks of the commander are not addressed in a clear and integrated manner in current doctrine. Specifically, this paper looks at current doctrine and literature, in an attempt to arrive at a working definition of post-conflict operations. The paper will examine two historical case studiesOPERATION JUST CAUSE/ PROMOTE LIBERTY, in Panama, and OPERATION STABILISE in East Timorin order to identify the unique challenges and characteristics of Post-conflict operations. This paper contends that the start of transition to follow-on control is in fact the military end state. It will demonstrate that in the post-conflict phase of a conflict, the commanders mission can be refined into three essential tasks: (1) provide security and stability, (2) support the legitimacy of the follow-on authority, and (3) plan and execute a transition to follow-on control. Military operations that occur after this point in support of nation building are distinct from post-conflict operations, even if the forces and missions remain essentially unchanged.
