Coalition Warfare Program (CWP)
Abstract
This program supports the Department's initiatives to Deter Aggression, Defend the Homeland, and Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage. The Coalition Warfare Program (CWP) supports the DoD organizations that: 1) work with foreign partners to collaboratively address strategic technology gaps for current and future missions; 2) develop interoperability solutions for coalition operations; and 3) develop and strengthen defense relationships. It comprehensively supports the 2022 National Security and Defense Strategies. In the National Security Strategy, the President states we will "fully engage all countries and institutions to cooperate on shared threats” and “redouble our efforts to deepen our cooperation with like-minded partners." In the National Defense Strategy, the Secretary of Defense states, we will “use every tool at the Department’s disposal, in close coordination with our counterparts across the US Government and with Allies and partners to ensure potential foes understand the folly of aggression.” The CWP provides a broad base of technological, operational, and logistical support for military operations and eases the U.S. financial and manpower burdens associated with meeting military goals and objectives. Coalitions and relationships with international partners are high priorities for the nation and the DoD. The CWP supplements U.S. Government proponents' funding for cooperative efforts, ensuring U.S. funds are sufficient to complete the engagement with the foreign partners. When the CWP funds are used to help fund a cooperative project, that project leverages technical and financial contributions of the foreign partners and accelerates the development and delivery of technical solutions to the warfighter. For every $1 the CWP has invested in cooperative projects with 81 partners since 2001, the program has leveraged $3 in foreign partner resources and $2 in other U.S. Government resources. The CWP funding enables the DoD project teams to transition technology to operational use, further development, or integration into other systems. These projects may also form the basis for future cooperation with international partners.
