Security Force Assistance: What Right Looks Like
Abstract
Significant global economic challenges, a war weary nation and coalition, and rising competitors in the Asia Pacific region are causing significant changes in our national security strategy. Military wide force structure reductions, smaller budgets, and the realization that allies, partners, and coalitions enhance regional stability and security all impact the ways in which we attempt to achieve our strategic objectives. A new emphasis on regionally aligned forces to build partner capacity and provide security cooperation will allow the United States to collaborate with key partners and allies to address regional and global problems. This paper examines the existing security cooperation initiatives and proposes recommendations to enhance allied interoperability and effectiveness.
