Peacekeeping
7-14. Peacekeeping operations are military operations undertaken to a dispute with the consent of all major
parties. They are designed to monitor and facilitate the implementation of an agreement (cease-fire, truce)
and support diplomatic efforts to reach a long-term political settlement (see JP 3-07.3). In peacekeeping
operations, the BCT must use all capabilities, short of coercive force, to gain and maintain the initiative.
The BCT may be assigned a variety of missions designed to monitor peace and stability and to improve the
humanitarian environment. The following are examples of peacekeeping missions:
� Deter violent acts at critical locations.
� Conduct liaison with disputing parties.
� Verify the storage or destruction of military equipment.
� Verify disarmament and demobilization of selected disputing forces.
� Negotiate and mediate.
� Investigate alleged cease-fire violations, boundary incidents, and complaints.
� Collect information about the disputing forces, using all available assets.
� Contend with ambiguous, tense, or violent situations without becoming a participant, in
compliance with the ROE, rules of interaction (ROI), and preparatory training.
� Provide security for enemy prisoner of war (EPW) exchanges.
� Supervise disengagements and withdrawals.
� Assist civil authorities.
� Support local elections.
� Provide relief to refugees and internally displaced persons.
� Restore emergency and basic infrastructure functions.
� Transition to peace enforcement or combat operations.
