The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) Infantry Forces Research Unit work program entitied "Improving Light Forces Low intensity Conflict Training for Operations Other Than War (OOTWY)"' included a Front End Analysis (FEA) on training for stability and security operations. This report documents the FEA, primarily a literature review supplemented by observations and interviews. Interest and involvement in stability, security, and peacekeeping has increased in recent years. As a result, a wide variety of material addressing such actions has become available. Doctrinal materials conclude that units that are trained for war will be ready to accomplish the various missions encompassed under stability operations; generally speaking, this is true.
