The United States Military conducted numerous attempts to train
Foreign Security Forces over the past 100 years. From training the
Nicaraguan National Guard to the most recent efforts in Iraq, the
U.S. Military has repeatedly shown a need for a coherent and
comprehensive plan to develop foreign security forces. U.S.
advisory missions in the Philippines, Vietnam and El Salvador
contained positive elements, but none of these past operations
contained the necessary framework to organize, train, equip,
rebuild, and advise foreign security forces. As a result, the
programs were haphazard at best, resulting in both the loss of
national resources and delays in achieving foreign policy goals.
Even today, when in conjunction with National Strategic Objectives,
the United States Government has developed a host of programs to
assist a host nation in bolstering their security forces, none of
these programs has adequately addressed the threats found in the
contemporary operating environment. The contemporary operating
environment requires a more comprehensive framework to develop
foreign security forces in conjunction with a host-nation. Rogue
states, non-state actors, super empowered individuals,
trans-national terrorist organizations, religious and ethnic
strife, and disenfranchised elements of society all contribute to
the difficulties of developing a functional and effective native
security force. Today's security forces must possess the capability
to defend their nation from both external and internal threats.
While the United States Government has some programs available to
assist in the security development of other nations, none address
the multitude of problems common today. Additionally, the lack of a
concise doctrine applicable for general purpose forces greatly
hindered past security force assistance missions and remains the
biggest obstacle to future mission success.
