This comprehensive ebook presents fourteen unique reports and studies of the 1999 Clinton Administration military intervention in the Kosovo war, known as Operation Allied Force. Contents:

Part 1: Religious and Ethnic Warfare: The Kosovo Case * Part 2: Analysis of the Modern Inter-Ethnic Conflict: Case Study of Kosovo * Part 3: Humanitarian Intervention in Kosovo: The Importance of Legal and Moral Issues * Part 4: Operation Allied Force - Golden Nuggets for Future Campaigns * Part 5: Targeting After Operation Allied Force: Has The Law Changed For CINCS and Their Planners? * Part 6: Standing Naval Force Mediterranean Operations in Support of Operation Allied Force: A Qualitative Review for the Joint Task Force Commander * Part 7: Operation Allied Force: Reachback and Information Processes * Part 8: Operational Leadership in Kosovo * Part 9: Tactical Control of Air Mobility Forces in Operation Allied Force: Is This The Way Things Should Be Done? * Part 10: Clausewitz on Kosovo * Part 11: Serbian Information Operations During Operation Allied Force * Part 12: Coercion and Land Power * Part 13: Operation Allied Force: Case Studies in Expeditionary Aviation - USAF, USA, USN, and USMC * Part 14: Operation Allied Force: Setting a New Precedent for Humanitarian Intervention?

For 78 days, from March to June 1999, the United States and its NATO allies engaged in a major military operation to bring an end to Serbian atrocities in Kosovo. At a turning point in NATO's long and successful history, Operation Allied Force was an overwhelming success. This report, which is forwarded in response to Congressional requirements, provides considerable detail on both the diplomatic background to the Kosovo conflict and to the military and humanitarian relief operations that followed. The United States military forces that took part in this challenging effort performed superbly. The men and women of our armed forces excelled in undertaking a military operation that delivered a decisive response to Serbian aggression and was characterized by extraordinary professionalism, innovation, and bravery.

We forced Slobodan Milosevic to withdraw his forces from Kosovo, degraded his ability to wage military operations, and rescued over one million refugees. We accomplished these goals through a cohesive alliance of democratic nations whose military men and women conducted the most effective air operation in history. From the onset of the operation, the United States and its NATO allies had three primary interests: Ensuring the stability of Eastern Europe. Serb aggression in Kosovo directly threatened peace throughout the Balkans and thereby the stability of all of southeastern Europe. There was no natural boundary to this violence, which already had moved through Slovenia and Croatia to Bosnia.

Thwarting ethnic cleansing. The Belgrade regime's cruel repression in Kosovo, driving thousands from their homes, created a humanitarian crisis of staggering proportions. Milosevic's campaign, which he dubbed "Operation Horseshoe", would have led to even more homelessness, starvation, and loss of life had his ruthlessness gone unchecked. Ensuring NATO's credibility. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia signed agreements in October 1998 that were to be verified by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and monitored by NATO. In the period leading up to March 1999, Serbian forces increasingly and flagrantly violated these agreements. Had NATO not responded to Milosevic's defiance and his campaign of ethnic cleansing, its credibility would have been called into question.
