Operations Other than War: How Effective is our Unity of Effort?

Abstract

Unity of effort between the Departments of Defense and State during operations other than war is analyzed through a study of inter-departmental organizational relationships, an assessment of assigned duties at the country team and regional level, and a comparison of Defense and State Department personality types. This analysis will show that much work has already been accomplished to physically connect the two organizations, that primary mission responsibilities are clearly stated, and that the dissimilarity in organizational personality types is key to understanding why unity of effort is difficult to preserve.
