Identification of Counter Threat Finance Entry Points and Prioritization of US Northern Command Support

Abstract

USNORTHCOM asked the Joint Advanced Warfighting Program at the Institute for Defense Analyses to provide critical analyses of the authorities, responsibilities, and limitations that would guide the command's counter threat finance mission. This document, identifies key US Government agencies that have a stake in efforts to deter, disrupt, and dismantle the financial networks of the Mexican transnational criminal organizations. The JAWP team developed this appraisal and recommendations based on interviews with the stakeholders, team members' experiences working in law enforcement and CTF communities, and an analysis of the roles, missions, and responsibilities of those agencies. The specific question the JAWP team answered was where USNORTHCOM should place limited CTF resources in order to obtain the greatest return on investment.
