Interagency Coordination and Effectiveness: Employing the JIATF Model
Abstract
The challenges facing interagency coordination and effectiveness is one that affects United States instruments of national power. The Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) model and its proven success illustrates a framework for the strategic, operational and tactic levels to examine and adopt best practices to support the national security system. This thesis proposes a solution of establishing JIATFs collocated with every Geographic Combatant Command, an improved path for information sharing and understanding between the strategic and operational levels, and the importance of rotating agency leads within the JIATF. By examining Joint and Interagency operations, past and present, it outlines the challenges and success the interagency endures while continuously focusing on establishing coordination through cooperation to overcome current challenges. It focuses efforts on building personal relationships, professional development, and resource management in order to enable JIATF implementation. Finally, it addresses the latest congressional involvement to improve the cooperation of the interagency.
