20 Stabilization and Reconstruction Staffing: Developing U.S. Civilian Personnelhow it would structure a capability to field SSTR operations. That proposalincluded the following planning assumptions:•••••the ability to lead two or three SSTR operations concurrentlya duration of 5 to 10 years for each SSTR operationinteragency planning that would include the military and civilianelements of governmenta reasonable amount of time for growing and institutionalizingthis effortthat the effort will be able to leverage international resources inmost cases. 15This interagency-directed concept has been integrated into theNSC decisionmaking system at different levels (see Figure 2.1) andhas been articulated in NSPD-44. The principal policy components ofthat decisionmaking system are NSC Policy Coordinating Committees(PCCs)—the existing regional PCCs and a new PCC for Stabilityand Reconstruction Operations (SRO PCC)—which provide guidanceto S/CRS Country Reconstruction and Stabilization Groups (CRSGs).CRSGs are activated to deal with contingencies. When activated, aCRSG is chaired by the Coordinator, the State Department’s regionalassistant secretary, and an NSC representative. The CRSG reports tothe NSC Deputy’s Committee, prepares policy options for the leadership,oversees the S/CRS contribution to country stabilization andreconstruction planning efforts that take place at the Regional CombatantCommand headquarters, and oversees field operations. 16The S/CRS field components, which could be classified as “planning”and “operational,” are the Integration Planning Cells (IPCs),which integrates the CRSG guidelines on post-conflict SSTR operationsinto military plans drawn up at existing Regional CombatantCommands (RCCs); and the Advance Civilian Team (ACT) Head-15 State briefing on S/CRS, no date, given to the authors by S/CRS staff in April 2005.16 U.S. Department of State, “Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization(S/CRS),” briefing to RAND project team, no date.
