All authors are retired United States Army officers, and most have served in operational capacities as both legal advisors and combat leaders (with more than 140 years of collective military operational experience). Each author has taught extensively at various law schools, and is recognized as a leading scholar in the field of international law and conflict regulation. This has enabled them to develop a text that addresses a broad range of complex legal issues related to the regulation of armed conflicts and to do so in a way that provides students with critical insight into the strategic, operational, and tactical challenges associated with implementing these obligations. Their text covers all aspects of the law of armed conflict and explains the important difference between law and policy in regulation of military operations, and the challenge of reconciling differing interpretations of the law during multi-national coalition operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUtilizing military operational scenarios and hypotheticals drawn from both history and the authors’ collective backgrounds, this text provides the context necessary to develop a genuine understanding of the law and distinguishes the text from others focused purely on the substance of the law. Its unique pedagogy is based on overviews of each topical area of the law and utilizes a wartime scenario. Students experience operational legal challenges armed forces confront from pre-deployment preparation through post-conflict stability operations to war crimes investigation and prosecution. The text focuses primarily on the U.S. legal interpretations, but also includes discussion of important areas of legal divergence between U.S. and major Coalition partners, as well as the perspectives drawn from the academic and non-governmental humanitarian communities. This exposes students to the challenges these divergences can create for decision-makers and their legal advisors during actual military operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew to the
