Download Stability, Security, Transition and Reconstruction Operations: Turning Policy and Strategic Initiatives Into Operational Level Action Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In the last six months, the President, Department of Defense, and State Department have all issued directives that establish Stability, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) operations as a fundamental component of diplomatic and military strategy alike. This elevated status for nation building operations comes in the wake of a series of highly critical reports about the stagnation of stabilization efforts supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. The purpose of this paper is to identify reasons for that stagnation and recommend potential remedies for it.

Download Challenges and Considerations for Multinational Stability, Security, Transition and Reconstruction Operations Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The United States has invested tremendous effort to improve its method for conducting security, stability, transition, and reconstruction (SSTR) operations. However, it is clear that several shortfalls still exist particularly in coalition actions. Current operations have proven that this is especially the case when the overall command structure resides in a multinational governing body, such as the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This paper describes how the United States arrived at its current strategy with respect to SSTR operations within a multinational construct, followed by a discussion of current theater-strategic and operational level initiatives, including programs resident in the geographic combatant commands. Next, the analysis will describe the evolution and current application of NATO's comprehensive approach to operations, with a focus on notable limitations in Afghanistan and an assessment of the potential way ahead. Finally, this paper will offer recommendations to improve future operations in a multinational setting and suggest how to influence multinational operations not led by the United States, specifically the NATO-led operation in Afghanistan.

Download Integrating Civilian Agencies in Stability Operations Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
How can the Army help make key civilian agencies more capable partners in stability, security, transition, and reconstruction (SSTR) operations? The authors identify the civilian agencies that should be involved in such operations, then locate the necessary skill sets. They then assess the capacity of the civilian agencies to participate in SSTR operations and analyze the recurring structural problems that have plagued their attempts to do so.

Download Steering Elephants: Focusing the Interagency to Enable Planning for SSTR Operations Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Recent Presidential and Defense policies direct coordination of stabilization efforts across the government and define Stability, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction as a core military mission giving it equal priority as combat operations. Increasing post-conflict challenges require that we have adaptive planning processes across the government agile enough to employ all the instruments of national power at decisive points when required. However, pre-coordinated and deliberate planning to achieve unified action and enhance unity of effort during security and stability operations remains illusive at the operational level. This paper argues that a critical gap in planning capability for security and stability operations exists at the operational level. It suggests a new functional interagency structure would best enable planning by aligning corresponding functional capability with requirements through increased authority, unified action, service support, and analysis. The new functional structure, modeled after U.S. Special Operations Command, proposes integrating the interagency to enable civil-military cooperation and planning, best serving to accomplish post-conflict objectives.

Download The Development of the J9: An Operational Level Directorate for Stability and Security Operations for the Military Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The United States has routinely suffered in its execution of Security, Stability, Transition and Reconstruction efforts. Many historical case studies suggest that this is a result of not having an ever-present, multi-disciplined staff at the operational level devoted to monitoring and planning for potential SSTR operations. Specifically, the WWII occupation of Germany, the CORDS program in Vietnam, and OIF are referenced. The role of the military in SSTR should be to lead the efforts of security and stability and support the efforts of transition and reconstruction. An operational level directorate for SSTR would provide the GCC the capability to effectively lead security and stability operations. This directorate should be composed of officers representing civil affairs, intelligence, logistical support, law enforcement, legal, PSYOPS, finance, and the chaplaincy. These disciplines, coupled with a JIACG, are critical to SSTR planning.

Download Redefining the United States Approach to Reconstruction and Stability Operations Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper examines the United States Government's (USG) current National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD 44) policy that drives reconstruction and stability (R&S) operations, and whether the USG has postured its legislative procedures and governmental agencies to support this policy. The current operational environment dictates how the USG will structure capability and expand capacity to successfully meet the strategic challenges. The United States' history is full of great examples of conducting R&S operations; however, the looming 21st Century challenges will demand a "Whole-of Government" approach to R&S operations. By focusing the USG national level approach to these operations, a better legislative approach will emerge. A new NSPD that is supported by statutory reforms that do not restrict the civilian and military capacity is paramount. The Departments of State (DOS) and Defense are the most important agencies in implementing this national directive. It is incumbent that clear delineated lines and authorities are granted to both agencies to facilitate a coherent national policy. The U.S. Army and DOS will need to reform some of its structure, policy, doctrine and training to better support the nation in R&S operations.
