Military Legitimacy
We were hoping for peace - no good came of it! For the time of healing - nothing but terror! Jeremiah 8:15
Military legitimacy is a derivative of political legitimacy, which has been defined as the willing acceptance of the right of a government to govern or of a group or agency to make and enforce decisions...
[and] is the central concern of all parties involved in a conflict.1 The willing acceptance required to establish the legitimacy of military operations and activities must come from a nation's people. Public support represents that acceptance; and in a democracy public support is both a requirement and measure of military legitimacy.Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, public attitudes and expectations for the military have changed, and with them the requirements of military legitimacy. Civil-military relations are more important than ever in the new strategic environment. New doctrine on operations other than war recognizes the priority of legitimacy and civil-military relations in addressing threats at home and abroad.
