Abstract
This presentation discusses why just war theory is in need of just military preparedness ( jus ante bellum ) as a new category of just war thinking and it articulates six principles of just military preparedness. The paper concludes that the United States fails to satisfy any of these principles and addresses how this bears on the application of jus ad bellum , j us in bello , and jus post bellum norms to possible future American military interventions.
