Preface
Concern in U.S. military and policymaking circles about civilian casu-
alties and collateral damage in U.S. military operations appears to have
increased since the end of the Cold War. In part, this concern appears
to be based upon beliefs about the reactions of U.S. and foreign press
and publics in response to these incidents, especially the belief that
incidents of civilian deaths reduce public support for military opera-
tions. ere has not, however, been any sort of empirical analysis of
press and public reactions to these incidents or of the effect of these
incidents on public support.
To improve policymakers’ and senior military leaders’ understand-
ing of this topic, this monograph provides the results of a mixed quan-
titative and qualitative analysis of U.S. and foreign media and public
opinion reactions to incidents of collateral damage involving civilian
deaths in recent U.S. wars and military operations. It is part of a larger
RAND Project AIR FORCE fiscal year 2004 study titled “Controlling
Collateral Damage in Air Operations.” e research reported here was
sponsored by Maj Gen Teresa M. Peterson (AF/XOO) and conducted
within the Aerospace Force Development Program of RAND Project
AIR FORCE.
