Workshop Report - Improving Cooperation in Operational Planning Among Interagency, Multinational, and Multilateral Partners
Abstract
The workshop was cosponsored by the U.S. Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) and the U.S. Department of State (DoS). It is one of several events in the U.S. Government's (USG) experimental development of emerging concepts for improving operational planning and coordination between civilian and military organizations when responding to regional crises. The workshop was conducted at the Department of State Foreign Service Institute's George Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center (NFATC) in Arlington, Virginia, from 7 to 9 October 2003. The participants in the workshop brought a wide range of experiences to the workshop and were eager to express their thoughts and provide suggestions. They are listed in Appendix A. The concept for the workshop was developed and distributed to the invited participants along with a number of other related information papers and administrative instructions contained ill Appendix B. This workshop was the first attempt to bring together knowledgeable civilian and military officials of the U.S. Government and selected multinational and multilateral partners who would likely be engaged in operational planning activities that typically occur when mounting an international intervention to address a complex emergency. It also provided the participants with the opportunity to learn firsthand the type of experimentation being conducted, and extended to them an invitation to participate in subsequent events.
