About

The military's primary mission is to win this nation's wars through the application of overwhelming combat power. Warfare, by its very nature, is destructive to humans and their natural environment. Environmental damage is a consequence of combat. However, the commander in the field is often required to restrict the application of force. He must conform to the law of land warfare: those written and unwritten conventions and customs that protect against unnecessary suffering and facilitate the restoration of peace. He is, with increasing frequency, constrained by mission requirements that may restrict the use of much of the combat power inherent in his organization. The US military has historically exercised restraint, even in general war.
