Abstract :
The conduct of Operations Other Than War (OOTWs) has become an extremely important part of the US military´s responsibility since the end of the Cold War. The factors that influence success and failure in OOTWs are economic, political, sociological, cultural, and psychological factors more often than they are military factors. The paper explores the need for impact analysis support tools, provides a description of the required elements of such tools, and recommends a formal process for creating OOTW impact analysis tools
