I think this is where my language of the “blue briefcase” becomes really important. It is that other side of the security envelope where you get rule of law, corrections, justice, economics, and institution building, that has to move alongside of the military when you're coming into a secure environment. Is it just the military's job? No. Is it just a civilian job? No. It is this complex “joined-up-ness” that we still have a hard time getting our heads wrapped around.
Yes, it's vexing, but my suggestion would be that we'd better get our heads around it, because if we don't, what we see is that even if you get peace you'll see a return to conflict within a five-year window in about 50% of these things. One can make an argument that if you get rule of law institutions, good justice, good corrections, and good policing and public safety, that is a mitigating factor in returning to an insecure environment.
