Special Operations Forces Interagency Counterterrorism Reference Manual, Second Edition
Abstract
This Second Edition of the SOF Interagency Counterterrorism Reference Manual is designed to support the Joint Special Operations University's mission and, in particular, its Interagency Education Program. This program includes six educational activities: a. Combating Terrorism Executive Interagency Seminar b. Special Operations Support Team Orientation Course c. Combating Terrorist Networks Seminar d. SOF-Interagency Collaboration Course e. SOF Orientation for Interagency Partners f. Interagency Education Outreach. Mr. Charles Ricks, a JSOU Senior Fellow, compiled this manual to provide a valuable reference work for JSOU students, SOF staff officers, and partners in the interagency process. While not all inclusive, it provides an outline of organizations, missions, and relationships that comprise the interagency process. The manual provides insight and information regarding various counterterrorism organizations in the U.S. Government national security apparatus. New information contained in this edition expands our understanding of the interagency counterterrorism roles of the Department of State, especially the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, the Intelligence Community and other intelligence resources, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, and other agencies throughout the United States government structure. Additional definitions, organizations, and acronyms are included to provide the special operations warrior with an improved, practical, quick-reference guide to the interagency community. The interagency process is a fluid interaction involving U.S. Government organizations and processes that changes the way the government is organized and adjusts its priorities to meet real-world challenges.
