Karen Guttieri, Principal Investigator
MOTIVATION

Civil Affairs are…

“the vanguard of DoD’s support to U.S. government efforts
to assist partner governments in the fields of rule of law,
economic stability, governance, public health and welfare,
infrastructure, and public education and information” (US
Quadrennial Defense Review Report 2010 )
highly-valued in US foreign and defense policy
 under-valued as strategic assets in planning/operations
 divided and neglected (Lamont memo)


“Functional specialties” are…
flawed – the system of classifying and managing needs
reworking (RAND)
 to be reformed as new Military Occupational Specialty –
38G

GOVERNANCE INNOVATION FOR SECURITY
AND DEVELOPMENT (GISD) IS…
…a research project that seeks solutions to the
challenges of supporting governance in fragile
environments.
GISD aims to develop a framework to promote peace and
well-being through good governance—provision of essential
services, political moderation and accountability, stewardship
of state resources, and civic participation and empowerment.
GISD researchers address current issues and trends
in stability sectors—social well-being, promotion of safe and
secure environments, stable governance, rule of law,
sustainable economies and infrastructure, and homeland
integration—and the competencies needed when the military
is called upon to support to civilians in those sectors.
