Abstract: Military forces of the United States (US ) and other countries will require near simultaneous preparations for both traditional missions and Security/Stability/Reconstruction/Transition Operations (SSRTO ). This essay discusses efforts by the US to address SSRTO s, which will likely be one of several future demands for militaries around the world. It outlines the history of US participation in Operations Other Than War history since the 19th century and the expansion of nontraditional operations in the Balkans and Liberia during the post-Cold War era. Also addressed are the issues of Responsibility to Protect and the implications for armed forces in the future. Keywords: Operations Other Than War; Responsibility to Protect; Security/Stability/Reconstruction/Transition Operations
