Abstract
This paper examines the issue and considers the impact of international MOOTW (military operations other than war) on the national security of the United States, including both MOOTW actions taken by the United States and those taken by other countries and the United Nations as a body. The paper analyzes this through a search and analysis of the literature on the topic, suggesting the different types of MOOTW engaged in today, the countries involved, some of the forces influencing how this action is taken and accomplished, and some of the effects this has on international security and U.S. national security in particular.

"According to The Defense Technical Information Center, a country like the United States makes use of certain instruments of national power in order to achieve national objectives or to protect national interests. When these efforts are not effective, the country may decide to engage in large-scale, sustained combat operations, which places the country in a state of war. The acronym MOOTW refers to ?military operations other than war,? and such actions generally ?focus on deterring war, resolving conflict, promoting peace, and supporting civil authorities in response to domestic crises. MOOTW may involve elements of both combat and noncombat operations in peacetime, conflict, and war situations. MOOTW involving combat, such as peace enforcement, may have many of the same characteristics of war, including active combat operations and employment of most combat capabilities? (Overview of MOOTW, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the roles and missions of the United States armed forces in peacetime and presents examples of MOOTW operations in Bosnia. The author concludes that the national strategy for engagement and enlargement is flawed from a foreign policy perspective. The author believes that policies should be developed and implemented that restrict the use of United States armed forces to deployments in conjunction with their primary missions unless all other options have failed.

From the Paper
"There is little doubt that the international political order is changing, and that in the late summer of 1999 it is significantly different from what it was in the fall of 1989. It remains difficult, however, to predict with any degree of accuracy who the major players in the developing multipolar or unipolar environment will and will not be, and which, if any, of these players will be first among equals. Although as the only current superpower, the United States frequently behaves as if it is the first among equals. In spite of the difficulties being experienced by the national government in Russia, a great leap of faith is required to assume that a major international political role will be denied to a country with an armed force as formidable as Russia's army. While morale is low within the Russian military establishment and funding is short, it remains a force that cannot be ignored."
