Military operations other than war (MOOTW) focus on deterring war, resolving conflict, promoting peace, and supporting civil authorities in response to domestic crises. The phrase and acronym were coined by the United States military during the 1990s, but it has since fallen out of use. The UK military has crafted an equivalent or alternate term, ''peace support operations'' (PSO). Both MOOTW and PSO encompass peacekeeping, peacemaking, peace enforcement and peace building.〔Segal, Hugh. (2005). ( ''Geopolitical Integrity,'' p. 275. )〕 MOOTW not involving the use or threat of force include humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. Special agreements exist which facilitate fire support operations within NATO and the ABCA quadripartite working group, which includes American, British, Canadian and Australian military contingents. Cooperation is organized in advance with NATO standardisation agreements (STANAGs) and quadripartite standardisation agreements (QSTAGs). Many countries which need disaster support relief have no bilateral agreements already in place; and action may be required, based on the situation, to establish such agreements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US Army Field Manual, "Military Operations Other Than War" )〕 MOOTW also involves arms control and peacekeeping. The United Nations (UN) recognises the vulnerability of civilians in armed conflict. Security Council resolution 1674 (2006) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict enhances international focused attention on the protection of civilians in UN and other peace operations. The implementation of paragraph 16 anticipates that peacekeeping missions are provided with clear guidelines regarding what missions can and should do to achieve protection goals; that the protection of civilians is given priority in decisions about the use of resources; and that protection mandates are implemented.〔Australia, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: (Peacekeeping and Related Peace Operations )〕 ==Overview== MOOTW purposes may include deterring potential aggressors, protecting national interests and support the United Nations (UN) objectives. Peacetime and conflict represent two states of the range of military operations. * Peacetime is a state in which diplomatic, economic, informational, and military powers are employed in combination with each other to achieve national objectives. * Conflict is a unique environment in which the military works closely with diplomatic leaders to control hostilities; and the national objective is focused on the goal of returning to peacetime conditions.〔 Planners are challenged to find ways to resolve or work around unique arrays of inter-related constraints, e.g., issues related to budgeting, training and force structure. The uncertainties which are inherent or implied include the varying political aspects which are likely to affect unanticipated MOOTW.〔Taw, Jennifer Morris.
