Yes, peacekeeping and contingency operations are considered examples of Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). MOOTW encompasses a range of military activities that are conducted outside of traditional combat operations, focusing on maintaining peace, providing humanitarian assistance, and stabilizing regions in conflict. Peacekeeping missions often involve multinational forces working to enforce ceasefires or protect civilians, while contingency operations can include disaster response and support for civil authorities. Both types of operations aim to promote stability and security without engaging in full-scale warfare.
Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) essentially comprise those operations which are of a humanitarian nature. For the Navy, it usually involves aerial delivery of critical supplies and water (carriers can produce about 80,000 gallons of fresh water daily), and can also provide power if civilian generating plants are offline. What isn't readily known is that nuclear powered vessels have the capability of reversing their output to shore to generate electricity, enough to power a small city.
