"My Clan Against the World" - US and Coalition Forces in Somalia 1992-1994 Paperback / softback
by Robert F. Baumann, Lawrence A. Yates, Versalle F. Washington
Paperback / softback
Description
As this overview seeks to remind the reader, the United States had a military presence in Somalia from December 1992 to the end of March 1994.
A principal aim of the authors was to provide an analytical narrative of each phase of the US military involvement in Somalia.
The authors address planning for a multinational intervention; workable and unworkable command and control arrangements; the advantages and problems inherent in coalition operations; the need for cultural awareness in a clan-based society whose status as a nation-state is problematic; the continuous adjustments required by a dynamic, often unpredictable situation; the political dimension of military activities at the operational and tactical levels; and the ability to match military power and capabilities to the mission at hand.
This case study also cautions against the misuse of "lessons learned."
