PISCES The Commander's Tool for an Effective Exit Strategy

Abstract

Even though multiple lessons have been learned and applied to the evolution of Political-Military Interactions at the Strategic and Operational Levels of War, current Combatant Commanders have the appropriate tools available at the Operational-Tactical Level in order to confront, coordinate and compete in Complex Contingency Operations. Despite the progress which has been made to establish Policy Coordination Committees, Annex Victors and Civil-Military Operations Centers, the commander needs the ability to understand, influence and facilitate the Non-Governmental Organizations, Inter-Governmental Organizations and Private Volunteer Organizations in the field. The current Special Operations Civil Affairs Teams provide the ideal model on which to base such a force.
