 [No title]
Operation Uphold Democracy was a U.S.-led, multinational military intervention authorized by the UN to restore the legitimate, democratically-elected government of Haiti to power.
Democracy was, at best, a weak concept in Haiti, and it had been almost extinguished by a military coup in 1990.
The operation continued to be executed through four major forces: MP units operating with Haitian IPSF and the IPM in the major cities; Special Forces operating in the countryside; Infantry forces operating primarily in the major cities, but deploying to other areas frequently to extend their presence; and Army Aviation units providing mobility.

 Joint Property Accountability
Both the high volume of unaccounted property during the operation and the challenging task of regaining accountability for unidentified property at the end of the mission clearly demonstrate that establishing a joint property book section at the beginning of an operation is crucial
The extremely high operations tempo (OPTEMPO) during the initial phases of Operation Sea Signal, the sheer volume of incoming supplies, the absence of a functional property accounting team, and the focus on immediate support combined with the lack of focus on property accountability resulted in an almost instant loss of accountability of incoming property.
For a joint operation, the DA Form 4697 coupled with AR 735-5 (Policies and Procedures for Property Accountability) is the most user-friendly system for the required reports of survey.

Haiti is distinguished from these two operations principally in the unparalleled degree of regional, hemispheric, and international participation that the United States was able to secure for Operation Uphold Democracy and its UNMIH successor.
In a military operation, where lives are at stake, where large sums of money are being spent, and where the duration of the operation is in some manner linked to the delivery of technical, economic, or humanitarian assistance, these can be false economies.
Common to all such peace operations, however, will be the challenge of integrating the international community's civil and military instrumentalities, and synchronizing a wide range of interfunctional, interagency, and international contributions.

Regardless of these shifts in doctrinal labels, peace operations have traditionally confronted the U.S. military with a variety of situations in which the use of force was either a distinct possibility (as in peace enforcement or peace keeping), or very unlikely (as in disaster relief or humanitarian assistance).
Furthermore, since peace operations are often guided by the United Nations or some regional organization, the commitment of American troops to a multinational undertaking is often accompanied by a heated dialogue over who should exercise command and control over them--U.S. or foreign officers.
Peace operations, as opposed to more orthodox military operations, often lack a traditional enemy, tend to be highly ambiguous, and are subject to frequently changing political guidance.
