The Czech Provincial Reconstruction Team: Civil-Military Teaming in Logar Province

Abstract

This paper describes the development and implementation of the reconstruction process by the Czech PRT in Afghanistan as a model of cooperation between civilian and military elements. It proposes recommendations for possible improvements to civil-military cooperation not only between the Czech Republic Ministry of Defense (MoD) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), but also in Afghanistan s own reconstruction programs. This paper also addresses interconnection of the funds allocated in medium-term planning and identifies deficiencies in PRT military and civilian operations in established reconstruction activities. Finally, this SRP recommends changes in the PRT s overall command and control, the integrated planning process, organizational structures, and the use of new and improved equipment for the Czech PRT in Afghanistan and future operations.
