'People Make the City': Joint Urban Operations Observations and Insights from Afghanistan and Iraq
by possibly noteworthy at 11:50 am EDT, May 27, 2007

Today’s strategic environment implies an obligation to preserve innocent life when possible and to rebuild that which war destroys. Urban areas are the keys to nations; people make nations just as, as Thucydides wrote, men make cities. This study aimed to reveal tools that will better enable military and civilian alike to meet national policy objectives by more effectively conducting urban combat and restoration.

Three Overarching Synthesis Observations:

* The "Three-Block War" Is the Reality During Modern Urban Operations
* The Importance of Orchestrating Urban Military and Civil Activities in Support of Strategic Objectives Is Fundamental to National and Coalition Success
* Urban Operations Increasingly Characterize the General Character of U.S. and Coalition Undertakings

Beyond the three overarching observations, we provide 25 other observations and highlights organized using the joint urban doctrine operational construct of understand, shape, engage, consolidate, and transition.
