(1) International partnerships continue to underpin unified ef<strong>for</strong>ts to address 21st<br />

century challenges. Shared principles, a common view <strong>of</strong> threats, and commitment to<br />

cooperation provide far greater security than <strong>the</strong> US could achieve independently. These<br />

partnerships must be nurtured and developed to ensure <strong>the</strong>ir relevance even as new<br />

challenges emerge. The ability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> US and its allies to work toge<strong>the</strong>r to influence <strong>the</strong><br />

global environment is fundamental to defeating 21st century threats. Wherever possible, <strong>the</strong><br />

US works with or through o<strong>the</strong>r nations, enabling allied and partner capabilities to build <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

capacity and develop mechanisms to share <strong>the</strong> risks and responsibility <strong>of</strong> today’s complex<br />

challenges.<br />

(2) Operations conducted by <strong>for</strong>ces <strong>of</strong> two or more nations are termed<br />

“multinational operations.” Such operations are usually undertaken within <strong>the</strong> structure <strong>of</strong> a<br />

coalition or alliance. O<strong>the</strong>r possible arrangements include supervision by an IGO such as <strong>the</strong><br />

UN or <strong>the</strong> Organization <strong>for</strong> Security and Co-Operation in Europe. O<strong>the</strong>r commonly used<br />

terms <strong>for</strong> multinational operations include allied, bilateral, or multilateral, as appropriate.<br />
