Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook for Military Support to Economic Stabilization provides established and evolving techniques and procedures used by joint force commanders (JFCs) and their staffs in planning, executing, and assessing joint force support to economic stabilization during post-conflict conditions. This handbook's primary purpose is to provide the JFC and staff with a common, practical baseline of "best practices" and inform doctrine writers, educators, and trainers about joint force support to civilian-led economic stabilization. It also may serve as a bridge between current practices in the field and their migration into doctrine. Over the past several decades, the Department of Defense (DOD) has learned many lessons while conducting stability operations in Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Although FM 3-07, Stability Operations, provides a basic foundation for military activities across all five stability operations sectors, there has been little doctrine or guidance published specifically for military support to economic stabilization. Consequently, this handbook is intended to provide more detailed guidance at the operational level on the range of functions required to achieve stability in postconflict situations and to help identify specific economic stabilization-related tasks that may be required of joint forces to support stability operations. It presents commonly used definitions and constructs from the interagency and international communities that have been harmonized with joint doctrine, and discusses those "best practices" that have proven valuable during on-going joint operations, exercises, and experimentation. It stresses the importance of coordination with external organizations, defining supported and supporting roles, and focuses on considering economic factors during planning. While the handbook defines and discusses many potential military roles related to economic stabilization, there is no implication that US forces will automatically undertake any or all of these in a given instance. Rather, the handbook lays out the range of options available to support the process of economic stabilization, and special factors that may need to be taken into account. The information in this handbook also can inform recommendations to higher-level authorities regarding possible economic stabilization activities. As the United States Joint Forces Command continues to interact with the combatant commands, Services, and civilian agencies; we recognize that there is no universal methodology on how military support to economic stabilization is planned and conducted, nor should there be. Because of this realization, this handbook is a documented approach to ensure that commonly accepted, effective, and proven "best practices" are identified and integrated into joint force operations and doctrine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004-2006, the U.S. government acted to revise the way that the planning and implementation of Stabilization, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) operations are conducted. The primary emphasis of the changes was on ensuring a common U.S. strategy rather than a collection of individual departmental and agency efforts and on mobilizing and involving all available U.S. government assets in the effort. The proximate reason for the policy shift stems from the exposing of gaps in the U.S. ability to administer Afghanistan and Iraq after the U.S.-led ousters of the Taliban and Ba'athist regimes. But the effort to create U.S. government capabilities to conduct SSTR operations in a more unified and coherent fashion rests on the deeper conviction that, as part of the U.S. strategy to deal with transnational terrorist groups, the United States must have the capabilities to increase the governance capacities of weak states, reduce the drivers of and catalysts to conflict, and assist in peacebuilding at all stages of pre- or post-conflict transformation. According to the Joint Operating Concept for Military Support to SSTR operations, these operations are civilian-led and conducted and coordinated with the involvement of all the available resources of the U.S. government (military and civilian), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international partners. Although military assets are an essential component of many SSTR operations, specific military goals and objectives are only a portion of the larger SSTR operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2008, the U.S. Army issued Field Manual 3.07, Stability Operations Doctrine, which identified five key sectors as components of an integrated approach to stabilization and reconstruction (S&R) operations-security, justice and reconciliation, humanitarian assistance and social well-being, participatory governance, and economic stabilization and infrastructure. Government, or governance, has a central role in assuring the successful end-states for transition in each of these sectors. This guide focuses on the military's role in rebuilding and establishing a functional, effective, and legitimate nation-state; one that can assure security and stability for its citizens, defend its borders, deliver services effectively for its populace, and is responsible and accountable to its citizens. Neither a handbook nor a checklist, the document provides a comprehensive approach to planning and implementing a program to rebuild governance by U.S. peacekeeping forces during stability operations.

Book excerpt: "This guidebook is designed to help U.S. Army personnel more effectively use economic assistance to support economic and infrastructure development. The guidebook should help tactical commanders choose and implement more effective programs and projects in their areas of responsibility and better understand the economic context of their efforts. It describes key characteristics of the economic environment, the key players that soldiers are likely to encounter, and who may be involved in what sorts of assistance efforts. It also provides suggestions on what to and what not to do, with examples from current and past operations. Suggestions on providing assistance are grouped into the following areas: humanitarian assistance; infrastructure and essential services; agriculture; currencies, budgets, finance, and foreign trade; private sector development and employment generation; natural resource management; and the effects of the U.S. military on local economies. To write this guidebook, the authors visited commanders in Afghanistan, conducted interviews with returning U.S. military officers, drew on their own experiences in Iraq, Liberia, and the Balkans, and tapped the substantial literature about effective economic assistance." -- provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) Handbook for Military Support to Rule of Law and Security Sector Reform provides fundamental guidance, planning considerations, techniques, procedures, and other information for rule of law (ROL) issues that the joint force commander (JFC) and his staff may encounter in joint operation/campaign planning and in executing military operations such as theater security cooperation, foreign humanitarian assistance, stability operations, and peace operations. This handbook includes, within its definition of ROL, activities ranging across the functional spectrum of policing, management and oversight, and prisons; explains the interrelationship between ROL, governance, and security; and outlines the role of security sector reform (SSR) in building partner capacity to strengthen stability and ROL. Finally, this handbook provides a template to analyze the rule of law foundation essential to successful stability operations. This handbook is primarily for commanders and planners, rather than for lawyers. It is a practical guide that provides templates, tools, best practices, and lessons learned for planning and execution at the theater-of-operations level and below. Its primary purpose is to aid US military commanders and planners to more fully understand their roles and tasks in establishing ROL in fragile states during stability operations, in failed states, or in occupied territory in the immediate post-conflict period. Planning and executing ROL efforts to support military missions and giving legal advice to the commander on those missions are two different functions. While legal professionals are critical participants in ROL activities to support joint operations, planning for operations which include tasks to restore or strengthen ROL is a commander and operational planner responsibility. For purposes of operational awareness and understanding, this handbook addresses many of the linkages between ROL and the legal issues that impact ROL considerations for planning and operations. This handbook supports operational planning that integrates the elements of operational law and other legal issues covered authoritatively in doctrine and discussed in other non-doctrinal publications. This handbook does not answer every question regarding ROL or SSR that may arise in military operations. Strengthening ROL can mean different things to different stakeholders, and the requirements vary depending on the specific operation and the political, geographic, and cultural context in which an operation takes place. This handbook provides JFCs and their staffs with ways to conduct mission analysis, assessments, and interagency coordination that will lead to more comprehensive approaches to build sustainable host nation capacity. ROL and SSR are not exclusively or even primarily military responsibilities; in most cases, these tasks require whole-of government engagement by multiple US Government (USG) agencies, as well as intergovernmental organizations (IGO) and other international stakeholders. This handbook complements other ROL and SSR guidance, including the relevant joint and Service military doctrinal publications, systems governing interagency processes, and civilian guides published by the Department of State (DOS), US Agency for International Development (USAID), and other USG agencies. Additionally, this handbook incorporates the interagency-accepted principles of SSR contained in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Handbook on Security System Reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's stability operations manual, Field Manual (FM) 3-07, identifies five sectors as components of an integrated approach to stability and reconstruction (S & R): security, justice and reconciliation, humanitarian assistance and social well-being, participatory governance, and economic recovery and stabilization. FM 3-07 describes two categories of the range of activities in stability operations for achieving these end state conditions: reconstruction and stabilization. Reconstruction is the process of rebuilding degraded, damaged, or destroyed political, socioeconomic, and physical infrastructure to create the foundation for long-term development. Stabilization is the process by which underlying tensions that might lead to resurgence in violence and a breakdown in law and order are managed and reduced, while efforts are made to support preconditions for successful long-term development. This guide examines the role of restoration of public services within the broader context of stability operations. The extent to which public service reconstruction takes place depends on the mission, the level of resources, and the host country context. This paper provides guidance helpful to U.S. peacekeeping personnel in planning and executing stability operations tasks related to restoration of public sector services and infrastructure. It is designed to supplement existing and emerging guidance, and is specifically relevant to addressing the needs of public sector rebuilding in a post-conflict situation by peacekeeping forces. The material presented here draws both from theory and analytic frameworks and from on-the-ground experience of practitioners.

Book excerpt: "The pendulum regarding the level of U.S. military participation in stabilization efforts has swung dramatically since 2001, from a low level of preparation and participation in the early days of the Afghanistan and Iraq operations in 2003, to widespread stabilization activities costing billions of dollars in the ensuing years, to significantly scaled-back forces and resources devoted to stabilization in recent years. To remedy the initial lack of preparation, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) issued a directive with guidance on stabilization requirements in 2005 and then updated it with more expansive requirements in 2009. This report supports DoD efforts to update this guidance by assessing the accumulated experience of the past 17 years and evaluating the appropriate roles for the U.S. military and its ability to execute them in conjunction with interagency and other key partners. Without stabilization, successful warfighting often does not produce desired political outcomes. Yet warfighters are not the most capable actors for many stabilization tasks. Therefore, the authors recommend shifting DoD guidance on stabilization away from requiring high levels of proficiency in a large number of tasks to emphasizing three key roles for DoD: prioritizing security tasks; providing support to other actors performing stability functions; and performing crosscutting informational, planning, coordination, and physical support roles."--Publisher's description

Book excerpt: This Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) handbook assists company-, battalion-, and brigade-level officers and noncommissioned officers to effectively use money as a weapons system on the counterinsurgency (COIN) battlefield. Coalition money is defeating COIN targets without creating collateral damage, by motivating antigovernment forces to cease lethal and nonlethal operations, by creating and providing jobs along with other forms of financial assistance to the indigenous population, and by restoring or creating vital infrastructure. Money also funds other tools of war. This handbook is a guide and addresses some of the most common funds available to warfighters. Key lessons: - Money is a valuable weapons system. - Money and contracting in a COIN environment are vital elements of combat power. - Leaders must leverage money and contracting in operations. - Leaders must understand funding programs and contracting. - Brigades often lack internal resource management expertise and knowledge of funding. - Financial management administrative requirements in a combat environment can be extremely burdensome but are necessary for good stewardship. - Financial management expertise and knowledge of funding are critical to successful operations. - Without proactive leadership involvement, the potential for extensive fraud, waste, and abuse of funds exists in the COIN environment.
