This work had its origin in the classes in the history of U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Military Government taught by the author over the last decade to active duty and Reserve, enlisted and commissioned Army and Allied personnel at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School and the Special Operations Command. This volume will concentrate as much as possible on the tactical operations of U.S. Army Military Government and Civil Affairs. To be more specific, this book will endeavor to tell the story of tactical United States Army Civil Affairs and Military Government in the following circumstances: 1) The establishment and operation of Military Government and Civil Affairs in areas where U.S. armed force has displaced the enemy government. (e.g. the occupation of Montreal in the War for Independence or the occupation of Germany after V-E Day. 2) The establishment and operation of Military Government and Civil Affairs in the wake of U.S. federal government policy, even though an indigenous government remains in place. Examples would be Reconstruction in the Southern states after the political overthrow of President Lincoln's moderate reconstruction policy, the U.S. Army's occupation of the German Rhineland immediately after World War I or the military occupation of Japan after V-J Day. 3) The dispatch of armed forces, including Military Government and Civil Affairs units and/or personnel to sovereign nations in peacetime to implement some U.S. government policy, such as peacekeeping, the restoration of order, protection from foreign interference, restoration of democracy, humanitarian assistance, etc., with or without that nation's consent. (e.g. the various Caribbean interventions and the occupation of Vera Cruz in 1914 or Operations Just Cause or Provide Comfort). 4) Civil Affairs in the United States itself or its territories, particularly the very widespread Army activities through the less settled areas of the United States in the first half of the 19th century (e.g. U.S. Army railroad surveys, and Military Government in newly-acquired U.S. territories.(e.g., the Army's government of Alaska).
