Abstract:

United States strategic guidance requires the Department of Defense DoD to work jointly with civilian departments to achieve national security objectives when conducting stability and reconstruction operations. The DoD faces significant challenges in incorporating interagency capabilities in the planning process for future military operations. Interagency subject matter expertise is critical to the planning process. This paper examines potential solutions for military planners of stability and reconstruction operations in the context of providing cogent and comprehensive planning input in the law enforcement arena. It will outline existing doctrine for joint interagency planning and key areas military planners need to consider for stability operations from a law enforcement perspective. The author provides specific recommendations for military planners who need to obtain substantive input from interagency partners. The goal is to achieve a planning product that reflects the true capacity of the United States Government.
