The Global SOF Enterprise in Support of Operation Inherent Resolve: Incorporating the Potential of SOF from Many Nations to Increase Global Capabilities
Abstract
Discussion: Military leaders of all branches and departments confront foreign policy on behalf of their governments, developing resilience to win the current fight against an adversary. Through the GSN, SOF can execute campaigning with partners to facilitate dialogue, shortening lines of communication and develop technology. It has become apparent that the growing complexity of each mission demands an ever-increasing ability for situational awareness. The creation and implementation of the GSN by partner nations has created cost effective solutions and by that, increased security for deployed personnel. Enhanced understanding by political leaders on how to exploit the opportunities the GSN provides in support of creating a coalition has yielded progress in the fight against Daesh. Conclusion: The Global SOF Enterprise has proven its importance as a US-led, facilitated coordination network. Synchronization of mission essential coordination between the US and coalition states has occurred through formal and informal lines of communication, to win the current fight.
