Civil-Military Engagement Program Enhancing the Mission of Regionally Engaged Army Forces

摘要

It is well documented that ineffective governance creates the conditions for terrorist and extremist organizations to find safe haven and grow in power that jeopardizes global stability and U.S. security. In response, USSOCOM developed a campaign to counter those threats, placing emphasis on legitimizing local governance and mitigating sources of instability that fuel insurgent growth and provide insurgents with safe haven. Critical to this campaign is the CME program, which provides the commanders access and information in targeted regions, but perhaps more importantly, can serve as a vanguard for DOS efforts in assisting host-nation governance in order to marginalize terrorist organizations.
