Summary: During the American occupation of Haiti from 1915-1934, the United States Marines officered a native constabulary called the Gendarmerie d'Haiti. Throughout the occupation, the Gendarmerie built infrastructure and assisted in the administration of the country. The success of the Gendarmerie can be compared with the failures of the Coalition Provisional Authority during the occupation of Iraq.
