Key Differences Among Us Overlap among Agencies Organizational Functions Culture Decision Cycles Funding Cycles Time Horizons Expectations US Law Exclusive v. Inclusive Planning

Major Questions We Considered Key Skill Identifiers for 38G Rightful Roles How to do things Better than the last 10 years The way we plan is ad hoc – need integrated planning Need for systemic thinking and action What are the end states of our actions What should the Civil Affairs community bring to partners

What are the Appropriate Principles of Engagement Respect for International Norms Build on Existing Capacity Select National Policy Goals Do no Harm Speed Flexibility Expertise Local Context Inclusiveness Check Assumptions Civil Control of Military Pursue Unity of Effort Patience, Partnership and Parsimony Plan Realistic Change What characteristics and challenges in our common, shared space must we prepare ourselves as a community to operate and cooperate effectively within?

GISD – Key Take Aways Consider alternative models than the classic Gov’t spending model because budget constraints require leveraging NGO and private sector resources. GISD in Sustainable Economy involves engaging with stakeholders, and capital or funding sources, on regulatory issues and risk negotiation. Executing rule of law, regulatory structures, and negotiating key risks enables engagement of alternative funding sources. CA needs to reach back or employ “Integrators” / Project Mgrs, not just Specialists. CA success often lies in defining and packaging projects that can be taken on by others with additional resources and expertise rather than on CA “solving the problem” with operating solutions. CA may contribute resources, but not provide 100% of the resources. CA can focus on defining what functions and projects can garner outside resources versus those that cannot.

ASSESS the Future Environment Clare Lockhart and Patrick Willot – Assess Local Capacity – especially existing host nation governance capacity Understand Stability Operations are a continuing state BG Irizarry – Don’t wait for after the crisis, Engage and begin creating conditions Innovation means new ways to new and old problems – New talent – Interface with partners – Team relations “Gentlemen, We have run out of money, now we must think.” SAMS/FA 59 in 38G What characteristics and challenges in our common, shared space must we prepare ourselves as a community to operate and cooperate effectively within?

Recommendations In PSOTEW 2015, what do we hope we can say that we have achieved within our community of practice? What can senior leaders do to enable progress/success? Invest in continuing education (not just training only) – Reinvest and transform institutional educational programs Develop analogic reasoning Use the whole force Critical and Creative Thinking Coordinate across Branches and Agencies Develop familiarity with other agencies and private capabilities Embedding 38G in non DoD Governmental Agencies and private companies Consider alternative funding models to leverage private and NGO resources Find modalities of work with Partners Assess the stakeholder values at risk
