The Military in the Interagency: Improving the National Interagency Response

Abstract

Today's security environment is at best unpredictable. The actors in today's world range from drug lords and insurgencies in the South American continent, failing states in the African continent, non-state actors and terrorist in the Asian continent, and nuclear posturing from nation states vying for a greater role in world stage. These conditions along with those brought on by forces of nature reflect the range of security concerns our nation's leadership is faced with today. The new security landscape requires a coordinated response from all elements of the United States (U.S>) instruments of national power. The interagency process required for such coordination does not exist. In turn, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), as the most prepared of the interagency members, has found itself taking a larger role in operations of development and security assistance.
