One example of MOOTW was the United States/Kuwaiti Tanker Escort Mission, "Operation Earnest Will", conducted in the Persian Gulf in 1987-1988. It was a joint military operation in support of U.S. vital interests that provides a model for the study of MOOTW. This is a study on how the operational commander of Operation Earnest Will" used the six principles of MOOTW and accomplished U.S. national security objectives.
