The U.S. government is facing the dual challenge of building its
own interagency capacity for conducting stability operations while
simultaneously building partner capacity (BPC) for stability
operations. This study finds that although BPC and stability
operations are receiving a good deal of attention in official
strategy and planning documents, insufficient attention is being
paid to the details of an integrated strategy.
Highlights key factors in South Asia imperiling U.S. interests, and
suggests how and where the U.S. military might play an expanded,
influential role. It suggests steps the military might take to
better advance and defend U.S. interests in the area. This
monograph highlights key factors in South Asia imperiling U.S.
interests, and suggests how and where the U.S. military might play
an expanded, influential role. It suggests seven steps the military
might take to better advance and defend U.S. interests in South
Asia, the Middle East, and Asia at large. Washington should
intensify involvement in South Asia and become more influential
with the governments there. Given the area's potential for
violence, it should also shape part of the U.S. military to meet
potential crises.
How does the Army plan to ensure its continued access to potential
trouble spots around the world? The authors developed scenarios and
conducted political-military games to determine what strategies,
tactics, and capabilities potential adversaries might use to
complicate U.S. access to key areas and how effective the U.S.
counters to these tactics are. They were sanguine about the ability
of the U.S. to prevail in the short-term but also identified
several conc erns and suggested areas of improvement, including
expanding the number of in-theater bases that might be available;
enhancing the flexibility and deployability of U.S. forces to more
austere bases; and upgrading detection, warning, and force
protection measures.
This guidebook is designed to help U.S. Army personnel more
effectively use economic assistance to support economic and
infrastructure development. It should help tactical commanders
choose and implement more effective programs and projects in their
areas of responsibility and better understand the economic context
of their efforts. It also provides suggestions on what to and what
not to do, with examples from current and past operations.
