• Establishing an Effective IA Framework for IW. The USG will need to develop an effective IA framework for building partner capacity rooted in a deep understanding of the indigenous culture, unity of effort among the various US agencies involved, and sustained interaction and relationships with the host country over time. • Building and Maintaining IW Alliances and Coalitions. The United States will need to enlist key coalition partners in the planning and conduct of IW operations. Operational and Force Development Implications: • Shifting DOD Global Capability and Force Requirements to Meet Protracted Global IW Requirements. The character and protracted nature of IW will require a thorough examination and assessment of DOD capabilities, force structure, and global defense posture, including a prudent forecast of the likely duration of ongoing commitments combined with an estimate of the likelihood and location of additional commitments. The future joint force must be able to win a risk-informed number of overlapping IW campaigns while maintaining the steady-state GWOT posture and capacity to conduct surge MCO as required. This may require the future joint force to accept more risk in conventional or traditional joint capabilities. • Expanded Global Presence for IW. IW will require a permanent US military presence in every priority country to conduct IPE and OPE and build partner capacity. In order to obtain a permanent global presence, there will need to be an increase in the number of personnel permanently assigned to regional commands, JIATFs, US Missions, and Military Assistance Advisory Groups overseas. • Expanded Operational Environments for IW. The joint force will be required to operate within non-belligerent states or provide increasing levels of support to OGAs to address IW threats operating within ungoverned or under-governed areas within those states. This will require: • A greater portion of the joint force to operate in conjunction with OGAs in ways and areas that have been traditionally outside the purview of the joint force. • Specific authorities for the joint force to either operate in or provide support to operations against adversaries in non-belligerent states, including ungoverned or under-governed areas. • Rebuilding DOD Civil Administration Capability. The joint force will be required to conduct non-conventional operations in support of, or in place of, IA partners for an extended duration when adequate numbers of IA partners are not available in the operational area. This will require the joint force to: • Rebuild its civil administration capability. This capability needs to 40
• be robust enough to meet civil administration functions in the absence of IA support, or for protracted periods of time until appropriate civil authorities can assume these functions in IW environments. Assist OGAs to build more expeditionary capabilities for performing their functions in IW environments. • Manning the Joint Force for IW. The joint force will be different from the force of today because of targeted recruitment of native linguists of relevant ethnicities to fill the forward-based teams of regional specialists permanently engaged in IW. This dramatic change in joint force recruitment and assignments will facilitate permanent assignment of joint teams within a single operational area, potentially for their entire careers. These teams will be able to train and advise partner security forces, link those forces to US and coalition CS and CSS, conduct IPE and OPE, and perform advance force operations for deploying joint expeditionary forces during crises and contingency operations. • Training the Joint Force for IW. Future operational commanders will require a joint force that is fully trained, equipped, integrated, combatready, and available to conduct and/or counter IW operations on demand. Further, this joint force must be flexible and adaptable enough to prosecute an IW scenario while it is conducting other types of missions across the full range of military operations. This will require: • The Services to provide a pool of linguistically and culturally educated personnel capable of operating in priority countries. • A greater degree of force management, since language and cultural knowledge is not easily transferable between regions. • The ability to apply precise and discrete force during combat operations among and within close proximity to the population. • Joint Force Leadership Development. Leadership development will need to address the challenges of decision-making in an IW environment. The joint force must devise a training strategy to provide leadership an indepth knowledge of specific geographical areas and concurrent training in the culture and politics of that area. The strategy should employ training support tools as distance learning, simulations, and reach-back to allow leaders to maintain currency and proficiency. The strategy should address use of intelligence resources, sharing information in a joint environment, and engaging foreign leaders in dialog and negotiation. Successful leaders will be adaptive, able to rapidly change their method or approach to decision-making and problem-solving in an ambiguous and complex IW environment. • IW Stress on Joint Force Personnel. Operating in an IW environment will create new mental and physiological demands on personnel conducting long-term assignments in foreign austere settings. Stresses on both personnel and units caused by frequent, repetitive, dangerous, and apparently endless deployments in remote areas of the world will have a 41
