The authors want to acknowledge the efforts of several colleagues who supported this work in a variety of ways. The materials from ACT workshops are the product of serious work by dozens of professionals representing not only all the military services and The Joint Staff, but also staff members at NDU, outside academics, civilian researchers, and representatives of the Department of State, the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), and other interested U.S. Government agencies. Captain W. Oscar Round, U.S. Navy, of the ACT staff was untiring in his efforts to collect and validate factual materials about U.S. experience in operations other than war and provided excellent comments and feedback. Karen Nickens and Rosemarie Bell of Evidence Based Research, Inc. took the report from draft to print quality, coordinating with the NDU printing section. Finally, Mary Beth Stewart handled the myriad of details involving making the workshop a smooth running success and a most productive experience.
