Planning and Execution of Conflict Termination

By Sam Allotey

The expression "War Termination" has been received with an admixture of reactions ranging from idealism and acceptance, to skepticism and cynicism, to outright opposition. This is largely due to a lack of clear definition of terms. Conflict termination is a process that addresses and attempts to correct the fundamental root causes of dispute to lessen the likelihood of again resorting to armed conflict once a settlement is reached. This research paper analyzes both historic and current conflict termination planning and execution processes, draws conclusions and proposes an annex for DOD Joint Publication 5-03.1, Joint Operation Planning and Execution System, Volume I: Planning Policies and Procedures. The purpose of the annex is to make conflict termination an integral part of the campaign planning process. The annex underscores pertinent issues and planning strategies to ensure victory on the battlefield while creating a conducive post-hostilities environment to achieve political objectives.
