Abstract:

Current U.S. National Security Strategy states the following But in a world of transnational challenges, the United States will need to invest in strengthening the international system, working from inside international institutions and frameworks to face their imperfections head on and to mobilize transnational cooperation. In an era of decreasing defense spending and federal budget scrutiny, every effort to conduct strategic engagements should receive careful attention and conscientious design. The increased security complexities posed by transnational actors, as an example, further compound an already ambiguous international security environment. This effort examines policy formulation to assist in long-term resource decisions using ground-breaking integration of operations research personnel and methods supporting conventional and special operations forces engaged in security cooperation-related mission areas. It will propose a policy approach to enhance the design of security cooperation efforts through conscious integration of data collection, assessments, and data analysis aimed at informing resource decisions that can advance overall capacity to counter security threats, such as those posed by transnational actors.
