Despite the Army’s continuous engagement in operations other than war, relatively little has been written about the Army’s conceptual and doctrinal approach to “unconventional” situations prior to World War II. This study partially addresses that gap by examining how the Army performed two of its many traditional, yet unconventional, functions—counterinsurgency and contingency operations.

Miliatary strategists, historians, and civilians interested in America's early history may find this resource appealing and offer a better understanding of Army doctrine from a historical perspective.
