Ring Roads of Resources

Abstract

Using stability and reconstruction operations as a test case, the US government can improve its interagency cooperation by forcing its agencies to work together in the development of the continual chain that links strategy to resourcing. For the purposes of this paper, this hypothesis will be investigated using the two Departments most intricately linked to national security, and global stability and reconstruction programs, State and Defense. Ultimately, the goal is to identify a process that will not only lead to the best possible allocation of government funds and manpower to optimize stability and reconstruction operations within available resources, but also to apply this process across the entire national security spectrum to optimally link the ends, ways and means in a Whole of Government approach.
