Improving Multicultural Teamwork to Combat Terrorism

Abstract

The U.S. Army is striving to implement the concept of full spectrum operations in which planning and execution of missions such as peace enforcement, peacekeeping, and humanitarian assistance are fully integrated with major combat operations. These operations, collectively called Stability, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction will involve collaboration among diverse stakeholders. The objective of the collaboration will be to consider and coordinate actions across domains to win the war by winning the peace. In part, this operational change is being driven by terrorism, but this type of mission is not new to the U.S. Army. Observations from U.S. deployments to Bosnia are presented within the context of Iraq. In conclusion a review of research projects being led by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to improve multicultural teamwork is presented.
