Range of Military Operations
ENGAGEMENT, SECURITY COOPERATION, AND DETERRENCE CONTINGENCIES AND CRISIS RESPONSE MAJOR OPERATIONS AND CAMPAIGNS Relative Intensity and Level of Commitment Low High Relative Frequency of Occurrence Wider = Occurs More Often The Conflict Continuum Major War Stable Peace Military operations vary in purpose, scale, risk, and intensity. They include relatively benign, routine, and recurring military activities during peacetime; specific combat and non-combat responses to contingencies and crises as they occur; and less frequent, large-scale combat operations typical of wartime conditions.
