Building a USG Civilian Response Capability to Support Stabilization

and Reconstruction Operations

Strategic Environment: Stabilization missions are an increasingly

important part of the international landscape.

The United States has been involved in or contributed significant resources to at least 3 post-conflict operations per year in more than 17 countries since the end of the Cold War.

Preparing for the Next CrisisPreparing for the Next Crisis

Recent RAND-USIP study finds peace operations are a new security reality, and worth the investment.

Since the end of the Cold War, the pace of U.S. military interventions has risen to about one every two years, while the frequency of new UN peacekeeping missions is up to nearly one every six months.

…conflicts impose greater costs on the international community than the expense necessary to ensure that the cycle of violence, once halted for whatever reason, is not renewed.

Crises can arise unexpectedly –

• Changes in leadership from elections or civil unrest

• Sudden refugee movements sparking conflict

• Terrorist organizations and organized crime exploiting vacuums of governance

Military solution alone is insufficient.

NSPD-44 mandates the USG to be prepared to respond.

DODD 3000.05 puts stability operations on par with combat operations.

Meeting the Needs of TodayMeeting the Needs of Today

The pilot deployment of Active Response Corps members opened the US field office in Darfur and continue to provide support to the peace process

S/CRS and ARC members deployed to Afghanistan to assist Provincial Reconstruction Teams to create Provincial Support plans

In the last month alone, S/CRS has received requests for civilian conflict and R&S expertise in Darfur, Kosovo, Liberia, Pakistan, SOUTHCOM and AFRICOM

The inaugural team of State’s R&S first responders has deployed to Sudan, Chad, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Liberia, Nepal, Kosovo, and Haiti.

““We obviously had inadequate plans, concepts, organizations, resources, and We obviously had inadequate plans, concepts, organizations, resources, and policies for the conduct of stability and reconstruction operations; consequently, policies for the conduct of stability and reconstruction operations; consequently,

we were slow to move...”we were slow to move...” -- Lt.Gen David Petraeus, Confirmation hearing, January 2007 -- Lt.Gen David Petraeus, Confirmation hearing, January 2007

Challenge of ResponseChallenge of ResponseResponse to conflict must be:

Fast• “Golden hour” ends quickly. Response needs to rapidly establish a stable

environment, laying the ground work for recovery.

Flexible• Conditions are fluid. Response must take immediate advantage of

opportunities and change course as necessary.

Localized• Response must be rooted in the unique culture of the country. Staff must be

trained to work with host nationals who are ultimately responsible for peace.

Comprehensive• Response cannot be piecemeal. Police cannot operate without courts and

prisons. Military cannot provide security without roads and water. Governments cannot ensure stability if young men do not have jobs.

““Unless I can get the sewage off the streets and get potable water into the houses Unless I can get the sewage off the streets and get potable water into the houses of the people who live on those streets – unless that happens – fast – I am going of the people who live on those streets – unless that happens – fast – I am going

to be run out of Baghdad.” – to be run out of Baghdad.” – Maj. General Peter ChiarelliMaj. General Peter Chiarelli

• Lack of common planning approach, assessment tools and reliable measures of progress

• No unified operating system to ensure command and control.

• Limited civilian capacity to manage and implement R&S response

• Critical shortage of rapid, flexible funding for non-humanitarian activities -- constrains effective allocation and management of R&S resources; slows rate of U.S. civilian deployments.

• Gap in specialized training and preparation for civilians deploying quickly to conflict and unstable environments.

• No common repository for capturing and applying lessons learned and best practices.

Civilian Stabilization Initiative addresses civilian capacity gaps:

Active Response Corps: Dedicated USG staff trained and ready to deploy within days. Serves as the standing agency capacity for rapid response. Will assess situation, design response and begin R&S implementation. FY09 request: 250 new Interagency ARC members

Standby Response Corps: USG employees from civilian agencies who have ongoing job responsibilities. Trained and available for deployment in 30 days for up to 180 days.FY09 request: training for 750 new Interagency SRC members

Civilian Reserve Corps: Experts drawn from outside the federal government. Provide sector-specific expertise. Become USG employees when mobilized. Have regular jobs outside the USG. Traing and deployable in 30-60 days for up to one year. FY09 request: build the CRC to 2000 members

Mission StatementThe U.S. Civilian Reserve Corps (CRC) is a rapid response corps that draws on American expertise to respond to critical international crises. It complements the standing response capacity of U.S. civilian agencies to address stabilization and reconstruction challenges as a priority component of U.S. national security. When mobilized by the President its job is to assist the USG to facilitate efforts to:

• Establish or reestablish the rule of law;

• Establish or reestablish operability of government institutions;

• Prepare local leaders to operate in a democratic, market system; and

• Support democratic political transitions.
