Interagency Cooperation: A Regional Model for Overseas Operations

摘要

This case study describes methods used to encourage and support multi agency cooperation. Drawing upon the experience of the U.S. Southern Command in the early 199Os, it suggests ways that can assist civilian and military leadership to integrate the skills and capabilities of the many U.S. Government agencies that operate in an overseas region. These methods describe a process that can be important to civilian and military officials concerned with regional policy and strategy because it has proven helpful in resolving issues of interagency coordination in the Southern Region. Its methods can be applied in other areas as well.
