Toward Strategy for Building Partner Capacity: Combined Ownership and Operations

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA522038 | Open PDF

Abstract:

US military operations following 11 September 2001 have demonstrated that US military capacity alone is not enough to meet US security objectives. As a result, the US has renewed its commitment to the endeavors of Security Cooperation SC and Building Partner Capacity BPC. Academic and military research, as well as official strategic guidance and military doctrine have provided priorities and resources for SC and BPC. The Combined Ownership-Operations Program CO-OP model is a BPC strategy that expands the potential ends, ways, and means of SC. If resourced and utilized, CO-OP structures can build long-term, transparent, self-sustaining capabilities and capacity among foreign partners that are vectored to support US security, priorities, and values. CO-OP efforts can shape the international environment in favor of the US while they can bridge critical capability shortfalls.
