海湾战争是本世纪末规模最大的一场局部战争,也是继英阿马岛战争、美利武装冲突以及美国入侵格林纳达和巴拿马之后运用快速反应部队规模最大,并取得突出成效的一个典例。在当今多极化的世界格局形成与演变中,难于排除新的地区性武装冲突与战争的发生,悉心分析海湾战争中快速反应部队的运用情况,将有利于探寻应付今后可能发生的局部战争的良策。 The Gulf War was the largest partial war at the end of this century. It is also an example of the largest and most effective use of the rapid reaction force following the Anglo-Afghan war, the U.S.-Libyan armed conflict and the U.S. invasion of Grenada and Panama. In the formation and evolution of today’s multipolar world, it is hard to rule out the emergence of new regional armed conflicts and wars. Having a careful analysis of the use of the rapid reaction forces in the Gulf War will help to find ways to deal with possible partial wars in the future. Good policy.
