GOVERNANCE INNOVATION FOR
SECURITY AND DEVELOPMENT

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.

CA Mission
MISSION
1-1. The mission of CA forces is to is to mitigate or defeat threats to civil society and
conduct responsibilities normally performed by civil governments across the range of
military operations by engaging and influencing the civil populace and authorities
through the planning and conducting of CAO, or to enable CMO, to shape the civil
environment and set the conditions for military operations. CA forces plan, prepare
for, execute, assess, and transition CAO at all levels of war. Joint Publication (JP) 357, Civil-Military Operations, states Civil Affairs forces are designated Active and
Reserve Component forces and units organized, trained, and equipped specifically to
conduct civil affairs operations and to support civil-military operations. As defined,
CA refers to the force structure—Soldiers, teams, staff personnel, and units. CA
forces conduct CAO supported by other forces. CAO support the JFC’s CMO intent
and are synchronized with the supported commander’s operational concept.
1-2. CA forces support unified land operations in every environment across the range
of military operations. During unified land operations, CA forces conduct CAO that
support and are nested within the overall mission and commander’s intent. CAO are
a cornerstone to the successful execution of stability tasks.
