The Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) Conundrum: Cooperation Among Competitors, is Harmony Achievable Through Trust and Understanding

Abstract

Joint Interagency Task Force East (JIATFE) is an example of a multiagency, interdisciplinary approach that uses various elements of national power to accomplish an objective. This process is necessary to our country in a time when the military is shrinking and the world changing. In order for a JIATF to be successful in achieving the operational or strategic objectives there must be cooperation and coordination among all its supporting agencies. A JIATF can also enhance cooperation at the operational level by enhancing trust and understanding among the federal agencies. This paper will address several options that a commander/director can use to get different organizations with distinctly different goals and philosophies to work together efficiently and eliminate competition.
