Nation Building: A Joint Enterprise

Abstract

The Department of Defense must perform nation building roles and functions in order for the United States to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of these functions could be performed by other organizations. Some argue that the Department of Defense should be responsible for performing the tasks of nation building following a conflict until other organizations build the capacity or show the willingness to assume these roles. This paper explores the issue of the military developing joint nation building organizations to meet these requirements and the joint implications of stability, security, transition, and reconstruction (SSTR) operations.
