AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO CIVILIAN-MILITARY/INTERAGENCY COUNTERTERRORISM CAPACITY BUILDING

摘要

The combined civil-military/interagency approach to CT has proven to be the most effective in the modern fight against terrorism. In the world of CT, the soldier, the police officer, the prosecutor, the investigating judge, and the prison guard each has a role; but, each also has a need to understand the role of the other CT professionals and when to engage them. The USG and its partners building CT capacity need to understand the resources available within the whole government and consequently bring the entire range of those resources to bear against terrorist adversaries. The most effective way to advocate the whole of government approach during CT capacity building operations is to establish a centralized planning framework for conducting these missions. Improved unity of effort amongst the USG will ultimately lead to greater results in CT capacity building operations.
