Book excerpt: This CALL Handbook is a compilation of ILE student papers from the DLRO course "Refugees and Displaced Persons in the Operational Environment."The complex and ambiguous nature of today's contemporary operational environment requires leaders of extraordinary skill and ability. Regardless of where the U.S. military conducts operations, the operational environment will often include large groups of displaced populations. Some will be victims of forced migration due to conflict, whereas others may be victims of voluntary migration as a result of difficult humanitarian hardships. Human history, remarkably consistent over time, suggests that U.S. military forces will face difficult challenges in future conflicts, especially in the areas of law, logistics, and security; these difficulties are often exacerbated when dealing with population groups that are displaced and suffering. History has also shown these population groups are especially vulnerable and desperately need the assistance and protection that often eludes them.In recent years, much work has been done in the international arena to address the concerns that displaced populations present, namely under the auspices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Although there is significant legal precedent in how refugees and displaced persons are to be treated, the challenges associated with large numbers of displaced persons have been largely ignored by the U.S. military, and scant doctrine or procedures have been written and shared throughout the profession.To this end, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College has developed an elective course to facilitate increased awareness and understanding of this daunting challenge. The articles that follow are the consolidated efforts of the intermediate level education students who participated in the study. Their essays help define the problems that military commanders and units will face when in operational environments, where displaced persons are a constant, and will help to clarify the nature of the humanitarian crisis that most likely will accompany the displacement phenomena. Understanding the context of the issue is essential for all leaders. This handbook provides keen insight into the military's role in dealing with refugees and displaced persons.

This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of chemical and biological weapons on the battlefields of history is not a new phenomenon. Although this practice is contrary to international treaties and customs, it has not precluded the use of these weapons by state and non-state actors against military, political, or civilian targets. Chemical and biological weapons use during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s and the use of chemical weapons in Syria in 2013 demonstrate that our collective security is threatened by actors willing to defy the international community. The threat of chemical and biological weapons use is increased as these are relatively inexpensive to produce and can be delivered by a variety of methods, making them an asymmetric threat of catastrophic potential. The psychological, health, and logistical implications of displaced persons fleeing a real or perceived chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and enhanced conventional weapons (CBRNE) environment will create complex mission command and support requirements requiring innovative and agile responses.

Download or read book Money as a Weapons System Tactics Techniques and Procedures written by Department Of Defense and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) handbook assists company-, battalion-, and brigade-level officers and noncommissioned officers to effectively use money as a weapons system on the counterinsurgency (COIN) battlefield. Coalition money is defeating COIN targets without creating collateral damage, by motivating antigovernment forces to cease lethal and nonlethal operations, by creating and providing jobs along with other forms of financial assistance to the indigenous population, and by restoring or creating vital infrastructure. Money also funds other tools of war. This handbook is a guide and addresses some of the most common funds available to warfighters. Key lessons: - Money is a valuable weapons system. - Money and contracting in a COIN environment are vital elements of combat power. - Leaders must leverage money and contracting in operations. - Leaders must understand funding programs and contracting. - Brigades often lack internal resource management expertise and knowledge of funding. - Financial management administrative requirements in a combat environment can be extremely burdensome but are necessary for good stewardship. - Financial management expertise and knowledge of funding are critical to successful operations. - Without proactive leadership involvement, the potential for extensive fraud, waste, and abuse of funds exists in the COIN environment.

Download or read book Weapons of Mass Migration written by Kelly M. Greenhill and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-23 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, the U.S. decision to escalate the war in Vietnam in the mid-1960s, China's position on North Korea's nuclear program in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the EU resolution to lift what remained of the arms embargo against Libya in the mid-2000s would appear to share little in common. Yet each of these seemingly unconnected and far-reaching foreign policy decisions resulted at least in part from the exercise of a unique kind of coercion, one predicated on the intentional creation, manipulation, and exploitation of real or threatened mass population movements. In Weapons of Mass Migration, Kelly M. Greenhill offers the first systematic examination of this widely deployed but largely unrecognized instrument of state influence. She shows both how often this unorthodox brand of coercion has been attempted (more than fifty times in the last half century) and how successful it has been (well over half the time). She also tackles the questions of who employs this policy tool, to what ends, and how and why it ever works. Coercers aim to affect target states' behavior by exploiting the existence of competing political interests and groups, Greenhill argues, and by manipulating the costs or risks imposed on target state populations. This "coercion by punishment" strategy can be effected in two ways: the first relies on straightforward threats to overwhelm a target's capacity to accommodate a refugee or migrant influx; the second, on a kind of norms-enhanced political blackmail that exploits the existence of legal and normative commitments to those fleeing violence, persecution, or privation. The theory is further illustrated and tested in a variety of case studies from Europe, East Asia, and North America. To help potential targets better respond to—and protect themselves against—this kind of unconventional predation, Weapons of Mass Migration also offers practicable policy recommendations for scholars, government officials, and anyone concerned about the true victims of this kind of coercion—the displaced themselves.

Book excerpt: This handbook looks at practical guidance on identifying and addressing the differing needs and situations of women, girls, boys and men, about being sensitive to gender issues in humanitarian crises.

Download or read book Mission Command in the Division and Corps Support Area Handbook Lessons and Best Practices written by U. S. Army and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During warfighter exercises, it had become apparent that division and corps commanders were challenged with mission command of forces in their support areas. The commander of United States Army Forces Command directed commanders to establish a support area command post (SACP) to improve mission command. The Army's new Field Manual (FM) 3-0, Operations (06 OCT 2017), incorporates this guidance by modifying the geographical organization of an area of operations. FM 3-0 scales down the size of the support area and adds a consolidation area. The consolidation area will be assigned to a maneuver brigade or division. This enables the maneuver enhancement brigade (MEB) to perform its traditional mission and focus efforts on operations in the support area. FM 3-0 formalizes the requirement for divisions and corps to establish a SACP (its doctrinal name, which is used throughout this handbook) to assist in controlling operations in the support and consolidation areas.

Download or read book The Arc of Protection written by T. Alexander Aleinikoff and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international refugee regime is fundamentally broken. Designed in the wake of World War II to provide protection and assistance, the system is unable to address the record numbers of persons displaced by conflict and violence today. States have put up fences and adopted policies to deny, deter, and detain asylum seekers. People recognized as refugees are routinely denied rights guaranteed by international law. The results are dismal for the millions of refugees around the world who are left with slender prospects to rebuild their lives or contribute to host communities. T. Alexander Aleinikoff and Leah Zamore lay bare the underlying global crisis of responsibility. The Arc of Protection adopts a revisionist and critical perspective that examines the original premises of the international refugee regime. Aleinikoff and Zamore identify compromises at the founding of the system that attempted to balance humanitarian ideals and sovereign control of their borders by states. This book offers a way out of the current international morass through refocusing on responsibility-sharing, seeing the humanitarian-development divide in a new light, and putting refugee rights front and center.
