Overview

Genocide and mass atrocities are a threat to the international order. This impacts global security and ultimately the interests of the United States. The President has asserted that the U.S. is committed to the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. Recent efforts to prevent or intervene have achieved a certain measure of success. One of the challenges of dealing with genocide & mass atrocities is truly understanding this problem & having broad strategic goals that can be translated into a practical operational level approach for a theater level commander. This thesis examines genocide, examples of genocide since World War II, & analyzes the conditions that define the prelude to mass killing to derive useful policy decision points to help political and military leaders contemplating intervention. A framework derived from modern genocide theorists is proposed, that along with the tenets of operational art & design can be applied to Mass Atrocity Response Operations (MARO). This operationalization of response will identify a Joint Force Commander's requirements for success & provide recommendations for operational commanders tasked with MARO.
