This conference investigates war termination, one of the most important issues facing
military and political leaders as they use or contemplate the use of use of military force in the
pursuit of national aims. Prompted by the Unified Quest Training and Leader Development
theme and discussions about the use of history in training and leader development, the US
Army Training and Doctrine Command and the United States Military Academy partnered
on this war termination project and invited renowned military historians to provide their
views on the subject. The study began with several seminars following Unified Quest
in May of 2009. Each contributor provided a brief essay and presented their views on
the topic at a War Termination Conference at West Point in June of 2010. These scholars
represented a broad range of the American experience from the Revolutionary War to the
first Gulf War. The assembled essays and interviews reflect the thoughts of these historians
about America’s wars, their concluding battles or final campaigns, and ultimately how they
ended. While they provide no answers and no formula for successful war termination,
they do provide thoughtful reflections from years of study and they suggest important
implications for civilian and military decisionmakers today.
Among the discoveries of this project is that war termination is a curiously neglected
topic. Little has been written about the subject that is of practical use in educating military
leaders. This project represents an important first step to raise awareness and enrich the
Army’s leader development as well as education and training. This volume is intended
to support instructors and students in academic courses, seminars, and individual study
focused on the topic of war termination in the hope of answering these important questions:
What is the American experience? How has America ended its wars? What can we learn
from that experience?
