Military Operations Other Than War

Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) are military actions that aim to achieve security and stability without engaging in combat or traditional warfare. These include disaster relief, peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and supporting civil authorities during crises. MOOTW focuses on preventing conflicts, protecting civilians, and stabilizing regions through various non-combat methods. It enables the military to assist in maintaining peace and addressing threats diplomatically or through limited force, emphasizing collaboration with other agencies and nations to promote security and stability without a full-scale war.
