Responding to Environmental Challenges in Central Asia and the Caspian Basin
Abstract
"Responding to Environmental Challenges in Central Asia and the Caspian Basin" was a USCENTCOM conference cosponsored by the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Environmental Security (DUSD-ES), the Center for Strategic Leadership (CSL) of the U.S. Army War College, and the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, and hosted by the Marshall Center in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. This conference brought together senior military and civilian leaders for the Central Asia and the Caspian Basin states, international academics, the private sector, governmental and military subject matter experts, and non-governmental organizations to examine critical environmental issues that affect the security of the region. The conference focused on how the region's military can play a meaningful role in maintaining and improving the environment and responding to natural and man-made disasters. It also demonstrated how these efforts might promote a closer working relationship with USCENTCOM and create new roles of military support to civil authority.
