Maintain Stability Operations Capability During Military Operations

Abstract

Today, the United States has approximately 148,000 service members deployed or forward stationed in nearly 150 countries to support our nation s strategic political / military objectives. U.S. response to emerging megatrends of the 21st Century along with budgetary constraints suggests significant changes to this status quo. Consequently, U.S. force structure and training strategies must be nested with Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental and Multinational (JIIM) partners to achieve unity of effort throughout all phases of military operations to include efforts to shape and prevent likely irregular conflicts ahead. We must eliminate training gaps and exploit efficiencies gained through the last decade of war through utilization of lessons learned, Joint Doctrine, professional leadership development, and training efforts designed to achieve U.S. national goals and objectives. U.S. military forces must retain the capability to prevent, shape, and win our country s wars, but also must be prepared to execute stability operations through all phases of operations and be capable of transition into a supporting role to other USG agencies or multinational organizations.
