Admiral James G. Stavridis, USN, reflects on his tenure as
Commander of United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). The first
Admiral to command Southern Command, Admiral Stavridis broke with
tradition from day one, discarding the customary military staff
model and creating an innovative organization designed not solely
to subdue adversaries, but, perhaps more importantly, to build
durable and lasting partnerships with friends. As he has said
often, "We are excellent at launching Tomahawk missiles; in this
part of the world, we need to get better at launching ideas." From
his unique perspective as commander, Stavridis uses his engagingly
personal style to describe his vision for the command's role in the
Americas, making the most of limited resources to create goodwill
and mutual respect, while taking care of the serious business of
countering illegal drug trafficking, overcoming a dangerous
insurgency in Colombia, and responding to humanitarian crises. He
also devotes chapters to USSOUTHCOM's role in nurturing
institutional respect for human rights among the military and
security forces of the region, in advancing health security, and in
supporting a new regional strategy to counter the increasing
challenge of urban and transnational gang violence. Citing the
hemisphere's common geography, culture, economy, and history,
Stavridis makes a passionate case for a common approach and
strategy for defending our "shared home of the Americas" through an
international, interagency, and private-public approach, all
connected through coherent and effective strategic communication.
