Focus<br />

Country A armed forces have the lead with the support of the CTF as<br />

required. Combat should be limited to clearly identified insurgent targets<br />

with the risk of collateral damage considered. The right of self-defense by<br />

coalition forces remains undiluted.<br />

Governance: The Department of State has lead. Focus in on eliminating<br />

fraud, waste, and abuse while promoting democracy. Country A is already<br />

a democracy. It may need assistance in maintaining existing democratic<br />

infrastructure and mechanisms.<br />

Economic Development: Country A business community has lead.<br />

Country A and CTF armed forces provide support by neutralizing the<br />

terrorist threat, maintaining freedom of navigation, and improving<br />

infrastructure such as roads and municipal buildings. Nation Sparrow will<br />

participate.<br />

Essential Services: Country A government has lead. International and<br />

nongovernmental <strong>org</strong>anizations are in support. Priority is potable water,<br />

roads, home building, community building, electricity, and preventative<br />

medicine.<br />

Training & Employment of Indigenous Forces: Help the Country A military<br />

fight their own insurgency. The CTF remains behind the scenes by<br />

providing training, advice, and logistic support. This LOO includes FID<br />

activities led by special operations component and Security, Institution<br />

Building and Reform (SIBR) activities lead by DOS. FID and SIBR are<br />

related but distinct efforts. FID deals mostly with the military. SIBR is<br />

mostly a civilian effort. FID includes senior leader visits, international<br />

military education and training for mid-grade officials, and expansion of<br />

regional initiatives to promote professionalism. FID includes individual<br />

and unit training and logistic assistance to include maintenance, spare<br />

parts, and mobility enhancements.<br />

The Department of State has lead. The international force is present at the<br />

request of the people to help them eliminate the twin threats of terrorism<br />

and insurgency. The goal is to deliver this message over a variety of media<br />

and demonstrate it when the CTF makes contact with the populace.<br />

Counter insurgent attempts to disseminate their message. Prevent access<br />

to insurgent-run websites, use of internet for e-mail and/or chat, and<br />

spam or virus-type attacks.<br />

The Department of Defense has lead. Focus is on actionable intelligence.<br />

Winning the trust of the populace is key to providing good intelligence. The<br />

locals will identify insurgents when they feel it is in their best interest to do<br />

so. Building trust and respect is the foundation of good intelligence.<br />
