Can't We All Just Get Along? The Interagency Process at Work in Information Operations

Abstract

The United States military recently adopted an unprecedented strategy to meet the national military objectives of preventing conflict and surprise attacks. Preemption has taken on new meaning for the Department of Defense (DoD). The commander of Joint Task Force (JTF) Horn on Africa (HOA), Major General Timothy Ghormley, USMC, is leading 1,500 U.S. military personnel in Eastern Africa engaged in a battle without bullets. By attempting to stem the growth of radical Islamic militancy in East Africa, JTF-HOA aims to defeat Al Qaeda before kinetic weapons have to be fired.
