Provincial Reconstruction Teams: The Compelling Need for Joint Doctrine

Abstract

Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) have been operating in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility for nearly six years. Their efforts play a tremendous role in improving security, stability, transition and reconstruction operations and they continue to prove their value to commanders as effective units driving positive change for the future of both Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently, there is no established doctrine to guide PRTs in training, planning, preparing, and executing the mission they are assigned. There exists a compelling need for the promulgation of a single source of operational joint doctrine that can serve the multitude of civil and military entities involved with the operations of Provincial Reconstruction Teams.
