Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Professional military education institutions do not provide adequate instruction regarding security cooperation to produce theater campaign planners with the knowledge required to design, arrange, and implement the security cooperation activities that form the core of Theater Campaign Plans. The Guidance for Employment of the Force directs Geographic Combatant Commanders to develop Theater Campaign Plans that integrate steady-state military actions, composed primarily of security cooperation activities, and link them to strategic end states. This construct requires organizations that plan at the theater level to have staff officers who are as well versed in the theory, doctrine, planning, and practice of security cooperation as they are in warfighting. Existing education curricula must incorporate comprehensive security cooperation instruction in order to produce these theater campaign planners. Security cooperation planning is sufficiently different from the planning of traditional military operations to require specific and comprehensive instruction. Professional military education institutions must overcome three major impediments to improving security cooperation instruction: institutional reluctance, lack of doctrinal guidance, and scarcity of faculty experience. The Department of Defense can surmount these challenges through a combination of direction from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, adjustments in doctrine, and a collaborative approach to security cooperation curriculum development and instruction. Implementing these recommendations will result in professional military education graduates who are equipped to lead effective theater campaign planning efforts."--Abstract.

Download or read book Enlisted Professional Military Education Policy written by Joint Chiefs of Staff and published by . This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. Overview. The Enlisted Professional Military Education Policy (EPMEP) defines CJCS objectives and policies regarding the educational and training institutions that comprise the EPME and EJPME programs. The EPMEP provides guidance to military education and training institutions regarding JLAs and JLOs that should be included into EPME curricula in order to achieve the goal of expanding "jointness" to all appropriate levels of the U.S. Armed Forces. a. The Services and NDU provide EPME to members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Relevant learning objectives have been developed to support JPME for enlisted personnel. (1) Each Service operates its EPME system to develop personnel with knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes appropriate to their grade. EJPME is veined throughout Service-provided EPME beginning with initial enlistment (E1) and extending through the most senior grade (E9). (2) The expansion of the joint operating environment to all levels of war and interoperability within theater security cooperation initiatives necessitates the expansion of JPME to enlisted personnel. While not mandated by law (as is the case for officers), this policy is a recognition that operating in joint, interagency, intergovernmental and multinational (JIIM) warfighting organizations and staffs requires JLOs be made available to all enlisted personnel. Service Chiefs should incorporate joint focus areas into Service curriculums wherever appropriate. b. All enlisted personnel should make a continuing, strong personal commitment to their professional development beyond the formal schooling offered in our military educational and training system. Accordingly, Service training and education commands should prepare junior Service personnel to accept this responsibility. Senior enlisted (SE) personnel (E-6/7 - E-9) should embrace the greatest responsibility for ensuring continued growth of themselves and others. 2. Scope. This instruction addresses PME and JPME throughout the entire enlisted continuum (E-1 through E-9) for the total force.

Download or read book Exporting Security written by Derek S. Reveron and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given U.S. focus on the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is easy to miss that the military does much more than engage in combat. On any given day, military engineers dig wells in East Africa, medical personnel provide vaccinations in Latin America, and special forces mentor militaries in southeast Asia. To address today's security challenges, the military partners with civilian agencies, NGOs, and the private sector both at home and abroad. By doing so, the United States seeks to improve its international image, strengthen the state sovereignty system by training and equipping partners’ security forces, prevent localized violence from escalating into regional crises, and protect U.S. national security by addressing underlying conditions that inspire and sustain violent extremism. In Exporting Security, Derek Reveron provides a comprehensive analysis of the shift in U.S. foreign policy from coercive diplomacy to cooperative military engagement, examines how and why the U.S. military is an effective tool of foreign policy, and explores the methods used to reduce security deficits around the world.

Download or read book Establishing a Middle East Institute for Security Cooperation written by Ivar S. Tait and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a case for establishing a Middle East Institute for Security Cooperation (MEISC) in the United States. Moreover, it advocates the creation of an education and training program that develops a professional, military and law enforcement, noncommissioned officer corps for U.S. allies in the Middle East. Current security assistance activities, which focus on equipment sales and training, fail to develop Gulf Arab states' real military and security capacity. These activities do not address the root causes of their continued poor performance - the lack of an educated, professional noncommissioned officer corps. Establishing the Middle East Institute for Security Cooperation would help diminish the causal mechanisms that perpetuate the tendency for Arab militaries to underperform and resist full transformation. MEISC will expand the academic and professional training level of the Arab noncommissioned officer corps, thereby facilitating its transformation and the building of real partnership capacity for U.S. allies in the Middle East. Real change to the status quo requires a new paradigm for security assistance in the Middle East; the Middle East Institute for Security Cooperation can provide that change.
Download or read book A Capabilities based Strategy for Army Security Cooperation written by Jennifer D. P. Moroney and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study outlines a planning framework for cultivating multinational force compatibility (MFC) with armies that are not traditional allies. Such coalition partners are increasingly important to the Army in the post-9/11 security environment. Multilateral military operations are often now conducted by coalitions of the willing rather than by alliances, and many of these ad hoc coalitions include key contingents that have no history of sustained peacetime cooperation with the U.S. Army. The Army has only very limited resources available to enhance compatibility with non-allied partner armies, especially compared to the resources devoted to compatibility with traditional allies such as the United Kingdom. The challenge of enhancing compatibility and building partnership capacity with non-core partner armies therefore requires an innovative approach to planning.
Download or read book Improving Civil military Cooperation Through Professional Military Education written by James E. Breck (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The paper examines the role that Air Force Professional Military Education (PME) programs could play in furthering civil-military relations in interagency operations. United States military operations from Afghanistan to Iraq, and most recently over Libya, demonstrate how the nature of 21st century warfare is characterized by irregular warfare and armed groups. More than ever these modern security challenges demand a "whole of government" approach which requires greater cultural and organizational understanding between the military and civilian agencies. This paper is focused on the airman's perspective and its scope is limited to adapting Air Force PME to promote greater civil-military cooperation by teaching interagency coordination in PME, increasing the "other government agency" participation in Air University schools, and by sending more officers to fellowships at certain civilian institutions."--Abstract.
Download or read book Imagining the Future of Professional Military Education in the United States written by Emily Ellinger and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional military education (PME) institutions prepare leaders for complex future conflicts. Recently, PME institutions experienced a sudden shift to distance learning during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Studies show that pandemic-related disruptions have significantly affected military policies and readiness and negatively affected education for both students and educators across all education levels. To discuss objectives, requirements, capabilities, and implementation options for the continued evolution of PME programs, the RAND Corporation National Security Research Division led a one-day joint PME workshop with participants from various PME institutions, J7 Directorate for Joint Force Development, RAND researchers, and others. In this report, the authors summarize the results of the workshop to identify areas for change following the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants generally agreed on PME's goals but tended to disagree on the means for attaining them. Consensus centered on providing PME students with communication skills, joint warfighting strategies, and critical thinking skills and preparing these future leaders for an unknown national security environment. These results highlight several opportunities for PME moving forward, including utilizing the general agreement on objectives to build clear documentation, leveraging technology during the pandemic, and building a diverse student body. The results also bring forward several possible barriers that may complicate the implementation of PME objectives. These roadblocks, which received the largest discussion during the workshop, included difficulties navigating bureaucracy, obtaining stable funding, and balancing the varied demands of talent management.

Download or read book Security Cooperation between Western States written by Olivier Lewis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines security cooperation between Western states. Security cooperation occurs between Western (i.e. European and North American) states as a coping mechanism, as an imperfect substitute for integration. The book investigates the reasons for cooperation, what Aristotle called the ‘final cause’, as well as the material, formal, and efficient causes of cooperation. Such a causal explanation is based on a Critical Realist philosophy of social science. The book is also based on an embedded multiple-case study; the states studied are the United States, France, and Luxembourg. Within each state, the embedded subcases are three types of state security organizations: the armed forces, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies, which have rarely been compared in this way. Comparing different types of states and different types of state security organizations has allowed temporal, spatial, national, and functional variation in cooperation to be identified and theorized. The empirical evidence studied includes participant observations at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and documents such as state policy documents, annual reports by organizations, reports by parliaments and non-governmental organizations, autobiographies, books by investigative journalists, and articles by newspapers and magazines. The book is also based on a score of elite interviews with ambassadors, diplomatic liaisons, ministerial advisors, foreign ministry officials, and military commanders. This book will be of much interest to students of security studies, intelligence studies, military studies and International Relations in general.
Download or read book Securing Freedom in the Global Commons written by Scott Jasper and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new millennium has brought with it an ever-expanding range of threats to global security: from cyber attacks to blue-water piracy to provocative missile tests. Now, more than ever then, national security and prosperity depend on the safekeeping of a global system of mutually supporting networks of commerce, communication, and governance. The global commons—outer space, international waters, international airspace, and cyberspace—are assets outside of national jurisdiction that serve as essential conduits for these networks, facilitating the free flow of trade, finance, information, people, and technology. These commons also comprise much of the international security environment, enabling the physical and virtual movement and operations of allied forces. Securing freedom of use of the global commons is therefore fundamental to safeguarding the global system. Unfortunately, the fact that civil and military operations in the commons are inherently interwoven and technically interdependent makes them susceptible to intrusion. This intrinsic vulnerability confronts the international defense community with profound challenges in preserving access to the commons while countering elemental and systemic threats to the international order from both state and non-state actors. In response, the authors of this volume—a team of distinguished academics and international security practitioners—describe the military-operational requirements for securing freedom of action in the commons. Collaborating from diverse perspectives, they examine initiatives and offer frameworks that are designed to minimize vulnerabilities and preserve advantages, while recognizing that global security must be underscored by international cooperation and agreements. The book is written for security professionals, policy makers, policy analysts, military officers in professional military education programs, students of security studies and international relations, and anyone wishing to understand the challenges we face to our use of the global commons.
