This book was released on 1996 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) is not properly preparing the U.S. Armed Forces to execute Civil-Military Operations (CMO) as a supporting, mission activity of Nation Assistance. Furthermore, the DoD appears to be unaware of this shortcoming and thus incapable of solving the problem due to a general lack of education and awareness regarding Nation Assistance and its component activities. This argumentative paper evaluates the national security policy area of Nation Assistance and one of the stated component activities, CMO. It traces the genesis of CMO from the President's National Security Strategy through the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) National Military Strategy to a break in the linkage at Service level. Civil-Military Operations are defined as the complex of activities in support of military operations embracing the interaction between the military force and civilian authorities fostering the development of favorable emotions, attitudes, and behavior in neutral, friendly, or hostile groups. The methodology used in this evaluation is the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) Ends, Ways, and Means model for developing National Strategy; i.e., Ends being the objectives, Ways the concepts, and Means the resources available. The term CMO comprises five mission activities: populace and resources control, foreign nation support, humanitarian assistance, military civic action, and civil defense.

Download or read book Role Of Army Special Operations Forces In Nation Building written by Major Jeffrey J. Monte and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the United States (US) has been involved in nation-building efforts for the past 100 years it does not have a doctrinal definition to articulate what nation building is. Another challenge for the US is the lack of a designated agency within the US Government (USG) to lead the effort. First, an interagency, agreed upon, doctrinal definition of nation building must be established. Following this, each department and agency within the USG must be examined to identify the role each plays within a nation-building operation. This examination will allow the identification of the relationships between departments of the USG and the resources available to conduct nation building. This thesis examines the role of Army Special Operation Forces (ARSOF) in nation building. In order to do so, a definition of nation building is established, key tasks of nation building are derived, and military tasks that support a nation building operation are developed. These military tasks are analyzed against the doctrinal missions and capabilities of ARSOF in order to identify how ARSOF can contribute to nation building. This thesis concludes with recommendations on the employment of ARSOF in nation-building operations.

Download or read book Civil Military Operations in the New World written by John T. Fishel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1997-05-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the interaction between military operations and the activities of civilian government agencies, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) during and after conflict, this study traces the development of civil military operations from their origin during World War II as Civil Affairs and military government to the present array of civil military operations. In so doing, it looks closely at the recent cases of Panama, Kuwait and southern Iraq, the Kurdish rescue mission in northern Iraq, Somalia, and Haiti. Of particular interest is the book's integration of national policy, strategy, and operations as it looks at the interplay between combat operations and their civil, military and political consequences. The outcome of the operations considered here suggests a need to look at the organization and planning of military forces in contemporary conflict as well as the integration of nonmilitary players into the game from the start of operations. The author concludes that the essence of modern conflict can be found in civil military operations.

Download or read book Civil Military Relations and Shared Responsibility written by Dale R. Herspring and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative approach to evaluating civil-military relations. Dale R. Herspring considers the factors that allow some civilian and military organizations to operate more productively in a political context than others, bringing into comparative study for the first time the military organizations of the U.S., Russia, Germany, and Canada. Refuting the work of scholars such as Samuel P. Huntington and Michael C. Desch, Civil-Military Relations and Shared Responsibility approaches civil-military relations from a new angle, military culture, arguing that the optimal form of civil-military relations is one of shared responsibility between the two groups. Herspring outlines eight factors that contribute to conditions that promote and support shared responsibility among civilian officials and the military, including such prerequisites as civilian leaders not interfering in the military's promotion process and civilian respect for military symbols and traditions. He uses these indicators in his comparative treatment of the U.S., Russian, German, and Canadian militaries. Civilian authorities are always in charge and the decision on how to treat the military is a civilian decision. However, Herspring argues, failure by civilians to respect military culture will antagonize senior military officials, who will feel less free to express their views, thus depriving senior civilian officials, most of whom have no military experience, of the expert advice of those most capable of assessing the far-reaching forms of violence. This issue of civilian respect for military culture and operations plays out in Herspring's country case studies. Scholars of civil-military relations will find much to debate in Herspring's framework, while students of civil-military and defense policy will appreciate Herspring's brief historical tour of each countries' post–World War II political and policy landscapes.
Download or read book Effective Civil Military Interaction in Peace Operations written by Gerard Lucius and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains unique, firsthand experiences of both the military and civilian actors involved in civil-military interaction processes. It presents lessons learned from a variety of situations, from both NATO-led operations and UN Integrated Missions, and in different geographical areas, such as the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa. Rather than taking the improvisational approach, these lessons learned will enable military commanders and staff and their civilian counterparts in governments, International Organisations and NGOs to come fully prepared for the challenges of today's multifaceted missions. With a better understanding of the mandates and methods of the various civilian and military actors comes greater respect for each other's comparative advantages. With respect comes smoother cooperation. And with that, efficiency gains and enhanced overall mission effectiveness. Each chapter contains solid analysis and advice, specific to the functions found in military organizations, from Intelligence to Personnel and from Logistics to Engineering. Cross-cutting themes like Gender, Human Rights and Corruption are also included in this work that brings together some of the best that practitioners and academics can offer.
Download or read book Army Techniques Publication ATP 3 57 30 Civil Affairs Support to Nation Assistance May 2014 written by United States Government Us Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-57.30 Civil Affairs Support to Nation Assistance provides doctrine for the integration of Civil Affairs operations (CAO)/civil-military operations (CMO) into the operations process. The manual provides techniques and procedures for CAO planning, training, and execution of missions in support of nation assistance (NA). The intent is to establish a common foundation for Civil Affairs (CA) forces to apply their unique skills in support of United States (U.S.) objectives to promote long-term stability, pluralistic government, and sound democratic institutions in the host nation (HN). The ATP prescribes the programs included within the joint concept of NA operations: foreign internal defense (FID), security assistance (SA), and Title 10, United States Code (10 USC), Armed Forces, programs and activities. This manual also provides a generic CAO appendix to act as a guide in developing supporting documentation for operational plans (OPLANs). NA operations support the HN with the technical expertise, advice, and assistance that can exponentially influence the success of other ongoing programs and initiatives. ATP 3-57.30 elaborates on doctrine contained in Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations. The principal audience for ATP 3-57.30 is the Army Civil Affairs force, officers, and noncommissioned officers who support joint and Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanders of operations at all levels of war. It is also an applicable reference for the interagency. It provides techniques and procedures for the conduct of NA operations, one of the five core tasks of CAO. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, HN laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. ATP 3-57.30 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. ATP 3-57.30 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard / Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.
Download or read book Civil Military Operations Joint Publication 3 57 written by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides joint doctrine for the planning and conduct of civil-military operations (CMO) by joint forces, the use of civil affairs forces, the conduct of civil affairs operations, and the coordination with other capabilities contributing to the execution of CMO to achieve unified action. At the strategic, operational and tactical levels and across the full range of military operations, civil-military operations (CMO) are a primary military instrument to synchronize military and nonmilitary instruments of national power, particularly in support of stability, counterinsurgency and other operations dealing with “asymmetric” and “irregular” threats. Potential challenges include ethnic and religious conflict, cultural and socioeconomic differences, terrorism and insurgencies, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, international organized crime, incidental and deliberate population migration, environmental degradation, infectious diseases, and sharpening competition/exploitation of dwindling natural resources. Opportunities, conversely, include the integration and comprehensive use of intergovernmental, regional, national, and local governmental and nongovernmental and private sector organizations, which have proliferated in number, variety, and capability. Recent policy initiatives, national security, military strategies, and military doctrine demonstrate a growing appreciation of the need to leverage more nonmilitary instruments of national power, reposed in the interagency process and the private sector, entailing a more holistic, and balance strategy. This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint for commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the joint staff, commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these command, and the Services. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part of a multinational (alliance or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and procedures ratified by the United States. For doctrine and procedures not ratified by the United States, commanders should evaluate and follow the multinational command's doctrine and procedures, where applicable and consistent with US law, regulations, and doctrine.
Download or read book Interagency Coordination in Military Operations Other Than War Implications for the U S Army written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confluence of a variety of factors especially exponential population growth, rapidly escalating population migration, and an unprecedented pace of urbanization-has increased the likelihood that each U.S. military operation will have a humanitarian or nation-assistance component. In the conduct of humanitarian or nation-assistance missions, be they free-standing or part of bigger operations, the military will usually encounter-and often support-civilians. They may be representatives from various U.S. government departments and offices, United Nations (UN) agencies' representatives, and/or personnel from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) who have established their own aid operations. This growing nexus of civilian and military efforts requires increased coordination to maximize each player's contribution and to avoid both redundancies and contradictory efforts. While all the services will contribute to humanitarian and nation-assistance missions, the Army brings unique scope, capacity, and resources to these missions and thus will bear more of the responsibility for interacting with civilian agencies and organizations. This research focused on identifying how the interagency process-at the policy, operational, and field levels can both complicate and enhance U.S. Army forces contributions to military operations other than war (MOOTW).

Download or read book Civil Military Operations written by U.s. Joint Force Command and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-27 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil-military operations (CMO) are the activities of a commander performed by designated civil affairs or other military forces that establish, maintain, influence, or exploit relationships between military forces and indigenous populations and institutions (IPI), by directly supporting the attainment of objectives relating to the reestablishment or maintenance of stability within a region or host nation (HN). At the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war, and during all military operations, CMO are essential to the military instrument to coordinate the integration of military and nonmilitary instruments of national power, particularly in support of stability, counterinsurgency, and other operations dealing with asymmetric and irregular threats. CMO are applicable at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. At the strategic level, CMO focus on larger and long-term issues that may be part of a Department of Defense (DOD) global campaign, or United States Government (USG) reconstruction, economic development initiatives, and stability operations in failing or recovering nations. At the operational level, CMO integrate and synchronize interagency, intergovernmental organization (IGO), and nongovernmental organization (NGO) activities with joint force operations. Often, a civil-military team or civil military operations center (CMOC) may facilitate tactical level CMO among the military, the local populace, NGOs, and IGOs.
Download or read book Civil Military Cooperation in Response to a Complex Emergency written by Rietjens and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern peace support operations are challenged by an array of issues that are not at all 'military' in nature. Increasingly, military and civilian actors like non-governmental organisations, ministries and contractors have to learn how to work together. This book analyses civil-military cooperation processes in disciplines such as logistics, construction and security. The analysis is based on multiple holistic case studies in Kosovo (1999/2000), Kabul (2003/2004) and the Afghan province Baghlan (2004/2005). Taking a business alliance approach, the phases in a civil-military cooperation process are identified. Then the main factors influencing the process are highlighted. Finally, a framework is proposed for evaluating the quality of civil-military cooperation. The book concludes by recommending ways of improving the cooperation process.
Download or read book Civil Affairs Operations written by Department of the Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Army Civil Affairs forces are the Department of Defense's primary force specifically trained and educated to shape foreign political-military environments by working through and with host nations, regional partners, and indigenous populations. These forces, and the operations they conduct, are the commander's asset to purposefully engage nonmilitary organizations, institutions, and populations. The U.S. military can expect escalating challenges from ever-increasing operations in complex civil-military environments. Commanders at all levels must pursue integrated whole-of-government approaches to successfully engage the civil dimension of the modern battlefield. As such, CA forces offer unique capabilities that not only enhance the military mission but also ultimately advance U.S. interests. Properly employed CA forces help shape the environment and set the conditions for transition operations. Appendix A provides additional information on transition operations. CAO involve the interaction of CA forces with the civilian populace and institutions to facilitate military operations and consolidate operational objectives. A supportive civilian population can provide resources and information that facilitate friendly operations. It can provide a positive climate for the military and for the nation to pursue diplomatic activities that achieve foreign policy objectives. A hostile civilian population threatens the immediate operations of in-country friendly forces and often undermines public support and the policy objectives of the United States and its allies. Properly executed CAO reduces the friction between the civilian population and the military force, and accelerates the return of civil functions to indigenous control. Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations, provides the doctrinal basis for the conduct of operations in support of the joint force commander's (JFC's) civil-military operations (CMO) concept. It provides Army commanders with the information necessary for the integration of Civil Affairs (CA) capability in support of unified land operations. FM 3-57 clarifies the role of CA forces in support of CMO with regard to the missions, employment, support requirements, capabilities, and limitations of these forces. CA forces support missions in every theater, in peace and war, throughout unified land operations. CA forces are a combat multiplier for every commander. CA forces are one of the primary resources a commander has to assist him in dealing with the complex and ever-changing civil component of the operational environment. CA forces are trained, organized, and equipped to plan, execute, and assess the JFC's concept for CMO. They are essential elements in the support of the commander by virtue of their area and linguistic orientation, cultural awareness, training in military to host nation (HN) advisory activities, and civilian professional skills that parallel common government functions.
