          U.S. troops would enforce peace under Army study

          by Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times

          An elite U.S. Army study center has devised a plan for =
enforcing a major Israeli-Palestinian peace accord that would require =
about 20,000 well-armed troops stationed throughout Israel and a newly =
created Palestinian state.

          There are no plans by the Bush administration to put American =
soldiers into the Middle East to police an agreement forged by the =
longtime warring parties. In fact, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld =
is searching for ways to reduce U.S. peacekeeping efforts abroad, rather =
than increasing such missions.

          But a 68-page paper by the Army School of Advanced Military =
Studies (SAMS) does provide a look at the daunting task any =
international peacekeeping force would face if the United Nations =
authorized it, and Israel and the Palestinians ever reached a peace =
agreement. Located at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., the School for Advanced =
Military Studies is both a training ground and a think tank for some of =
the Army's brightest officers. Officials say the Army chief of staff, =
and sometimes the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ask SAMS to develop contingency =
plans for future military operations. During the 1991 Persian Gulf war, =
SAMS personnel helped plan the coalition ground attack that avoided a =
strike up the middle of Iraqi positions and instead executed a "left =
hook" that routed the enemy in 100 hours.

          The cover page for the recent SAMS project said it was done =
for the Joint
          Chiefs of Staff. But Maj. Chris Garver, a Fort Leavenworth =
spokesman,
          said the study was not requested by Washington.

          "This was just an academic exercise," said Maj. Garver. "They =
were trying to take a current situation and get some training out of =
it."

          The exercise was done by 60 officers dubbed "Jedi Knights," as =
all second-year SAMS students are nicknamed.

          The SAMS paper attempts to predict events in the first year of =
a peace-enforcement operation, and sees possible dangers for U.S. troops =
from both sides.

          It calls Israel's armed forces a "500-pound gorilla in Israel. =
Well armed and trained. Operates in both Gaza and the West Bank. Known =
to disregard international law to accomplish mission. Very unlikely to =
fire on American forces. Fratricide a concern especially in air space =
management."

          Of the MOSSAD, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS =
officers say: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target =
U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act."

          On the Palestinian side, the paper describes their youth as =
"loose cannons; under no control, sometimes violent." The study lists =
five Arab terrorist groups that could target American troops for =
assassination and hostage-taking.

          The study recommends "neutrality in word and deed" as one way =
to protect U.S. soldiers from any attack. It also says Syria, Egypt and =
Jordan must be warned "we will act decisively in response to external =
attack."

          It is unlikely either of the three would mount an attack. Of =
Syria's military, the report says: "Syrian army quantitatively larger =
than Israeli Defense Forces, but largely seen as qualitatively inferior. =
More likely, however, Syrians would provide financial and political =
support to the Palestinians, as well as increase covert support to =
terrorism acts through Lebanon."

          Of Egypt's military, the paper says, "Egyptians also maintain =
a large army but have little to gain by attacking Israel."

          The plan does not specify a full order of battle. An Army =
source who reviewed the SAMS work said each of a possible three brigades =
would require about 100 Bradley fighting vehicles, 25 tanks, 12 =
self-propelled howitzers, Apache attack helicopters, Kiowa Warrior =
reconnaissance helicopters and Predator spy drones.

          The report predicts that non-lethal weapons would be used to =
quell unrest.

          U.S. European Command, which is headed by NATO's supreme =
allied commander, would oversee the peacekeeping operation. Commanders =
would maintain areas of operation, or AOs, around Nablus, Jerusalem, =
Hebron and the Gaza strip.

          The study sets out a list of goals for U.S. troops to =
accomplish in the first 30 days. They include: "create conditions for =
development of Palestinian State and security of Israel "; ensure "equal =
distribution of contract value or equivalent aid" . . . that would help =
legitimize the peacekeeping force and stimulate economic growth; =
"promote U.S. investment in Palestine"; "encourage reconciliation =
between entities based on acceptance of new national identities"; and =
"build lasting relationship based on new legal borders and not =
religious-territorial claims."

          Maj. Garver said the officers who completed the exercise will =
hold major planning jobs once they graduate. "There is an application =
process" for students, he said. "They screen their records, and there =
are several tests they go through before they are accepted by the =
program. The bright planners of the future come out of this program."

          James Phillips, a Middle East analyst at the Heritage =
Foundation, said it would be a mistake to put peacekeepers in Israel, =
given the "poor record of previous monitors."

          "In general, the Bush administration policy is to discourage a =
large American presence," he said. "But it has been rumored that one of =
the possibilities might be an expanded CIA role."

          "It would be a very different environment than Bosnia," said =
Mr. Phillips, referring to America's six-year peacekeeping role in =
Bosnia-Herzegovina. "The Palestinian Authority is pushing for this as =
part of its strategy to internationalize the conflict. Bring in the =
Europeans and Russia and China. But such monitors or peacekeeping forces =
are not going to be able to bring peace. Only a decision by the =
Palestinians to stop the violence and restart talks could possibly do =
that."
