FOLLOW ME! Assisting United States Government Organizations Supporting Military Operations

Abstract

This study provides recommendations that are aimed at improving the integration of U.S. military and other U.S. governmental organizations during operations. This study solicited U.S. uniformed military and U.S. other governmental agency representatives responses to multiple questions. The questions focused on identifying skills, knowledge levels, impressions, and perceptions from military and interagency participants. The responses were compared to common U.S. military competencies and characteristics. Finally, recommendations were derived from the responses and comparisons. The thesis, that the skills, knowledge and attributes required by military and interagency leaders to integrate and synchronize United States governmental efforts in complex operations need further development. By identifying these characteristics and providing ways to develop them, our Nation will establish a foundation of trained and ready future leaders that are capable of overcoming any challenge. The Department of Defense can lead this effort with initiatives in doctrinal, organizational, training, leader development, and material areas. These initiatives will build teamwork within our government and set the stage for other nation's integration.
