Abstract
This paper inventories crises that the United States (as reflected in activities in the U.S. Department of Defense) has been involved in or acted to avoid becoming involved in between 1946 and 1975. Characteristics of all such crises since 1946 are examined to determine what patterns were present in the crisis environment, crisis involvement, the nature of the crisis, and the responses made by the U.S. Government. The patterns of crisis management problems encountered in a set of these post-World War II crises are reviewed, and the implications of these findings for improved planning for crisis management are considered.
