As the world watched the United States Military execute effective operations in Iraq, it also witnessed the difficult process of building a free and stable country. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate to the strategic leadership of the Department of Defense and Department of State the value rail has in building a free and stable Iraq, and the strategic role that it plays by maximizing transportation levels to improve the Iraqi unemployment rate and raise their quality of life within the country. Maximizing rail transportation levels produces a three-fold benefit to the Iraqi people and the coalition forces by improving unemployment, raising Iraqi quality of life, and potentially reducing the insurgent problems in the country. The strategic application of rail is defined as an executive recognizing the importance of maximizing rail's capability to do more than transport cargo. Increasing a nation's employment level, raising the quality of life, settling inhospitable areas in the country, expanding populations, harvesting raw materials, and completing projects requiring massive supplies are examples of the strategic application of rail. This paper also discusses the problems of unemployment, the quality of life in Iraq, and the solution that rail offers to help build a free and stable Iraq. |
