Project Scheduling to Maximize Positive Impacts of Reconstruction Operations

Since the decline of the Cold War, the risk of major con-ict between powerful industrialized nations has signi cantly decreased. Insecurity in the twenty- rst century is forecast to arise rather from the debris of imploding states. Such situations may require intervention | military or otherwise | by concerned states, and the frequency with which these interventions occur is increasing. To meet this new operational challenge, the US military must adapt its planning procedures to account for Security, Stabilization, Transition, and Reconstruction Operations (SSTRO).
