Abstract:
Joint military and United States Government doctrine for interagency coordination relies on exhortations to cooperate, but lacks an effective command structure to ensure outcomes. Historical examples from the Balkans and Iraq illustrate that interagency coordination is particularly critical in the stability and reconstruction phase. A single chain of command at the operational level, led by a civilian Joint Executive Commander, is proposed to solve the problems inherent in current doctrinal solutions for interagency coordination during war termination.
