You Cannot Surge Trust: Combined Naval Operations Of The Royal Australian Navy, Canadian Navy, Royal Navy, And United States Navy, 1991-2003

You Cannot Surge Trust comprises four case studies in which naval historians from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the U.K. explain how naval powers created a multinational, or “combined,” framework of interoperability while under national rules of engagement. The four crises addressed are maritime interdiction operations during the First Gulf War (1990–1991), and later in 2001–2003 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom; naval operations off the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in Operation Sharp Guard (1991–1996); and peacekeeping operations in East Timor during Operation Stabilise (1999–2000).
