| dc.description | In 1996 UK Army doctrine writers revised the consept of wider peacekeeping and produced a draft of Army Field Manual, Peace Support Operations. The doctrinal revision, which has also been influential in NATO, attempts to deal with the inadequacies of peacekeeping in situations of volatile consent by establishing a military spectrum approach. the dangers of vertical mission creep, i.e., peacekeepers being drawn into an escalation and coercion in a planned and controlled way.
