Abstract

This study examines the potential for improving success in Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) by assigning proponency (doctrine, training, institutional expertise) for MOOTW to the United States Special Operations Command. The thesis uses the Manwaring Paradigm, which is designed to analyze counterinsurgencies, to analyze a Nation Assistance operation (PROMOTE LIBERTY) and a Humanitarian Assistance operation (PROVIDE COMFORT). The hypothesis is then applied to the paradigm to demonstrate the potential effects of USSOCOM proponency for MOOTW. In both cases, the thesis finds that USSOCOM proponency would lead to greater consistent success in MOOTW. Therefore, it concludes that proponency for MOOTW should be assigned to USSOCOM.
