Abstract:

In 2015, the U.S. officially concluded combat operations in the Philippines ending the 14-year mission. The general view among experts is that Operation Enduring FreedomPhilippines OEF-P achieved its underlying objectives and the U.S. government concluded combat operations determining OEF-P met U.S. strategic goals. This research highlights the phases leading to the conclusion of Joint Special Operations Task ForcePhilippines and the sustainability of the Philippine government to continue operations to counter violent extremist activity. Has the impact of persistent engagement operations and building partner capacity relationships set the conditions for a peaceful future of the southern islands in the Philippines Although the official determination of success has led to the completion of OEF-P, this thesis shows it is possible that operations did not remove the root causes of threats from violent extremist organizations.
