ABSTRACTPeacemaking and Operational Art:In Operation "Peace For GalileeKretchik, USA.The IsraeliExperienceby RAJ Walter E.This monograph analyzes the 1982 Israelipeacemaking operation againstthe PalestinianLiberation Organization in regards to current militaryIt uses operation -Peace For Galilee" as atheory.case study to examine the possibility of using currentoperational art concepts to explain and design apeacemaking operation.The monograph firstdefines the terms peacemaking,operational art,and campaigns.Next it reviews thehistorical and strategic setting that prompted theIsraelioperation.It then examines how politicalandmilitary interaction drove the peacemaking campaigndesign, and how operational art concepts of strategicaim, endstates, centers of gravity, decisive points,lines of operation, and battle were used by Israelimilitary planners.It also includes an analysis of thepolitical,strategic, operational and tacticalinteraction as the campaign unfolded.The monograph concludes that operational artcanbe used to design and explain a peacemaking operation.The IsraeliDefense Forces used operational artconcepts in the design and execution of the peacemakingoperation.Operational artalso explains peacemakingoperations.Operational art alone cannot guarantee asuccessful peacemaking operation.Peacemaking requiresinternational and national will as prerequisites foroperational success.The military needs clearlydefined politicalobjectivestoensure thattheoperation accomplishes the desired politicalendatate.Peacemaking can be affected by personal politicalagendas that might not be in the best interestof thenation.Additionally, peacemaking is an extremelydangerous and complex operation--one that requires askilled military planner who is educated in politicalaffairsas well as military operations and tactics.The indications are that any nation undergoing apeacemaking operation must ensure that allelements ofa nation--government, people, and military--agree to acommon objective before the operation commences or riskpoliticaland military failure.
