SECURITY ENVIRONMENT IN COMING DECADE

SECURITY ENVIRONMENT IN COMING DECADE

• NATIONAL SECURITY: FUNCTION OF INTERWOVEN FACTORS.

• THREATS: NON-TRADITIONAL AND TRANS-NATIONAL.• GREATER ROLE OF NON-STATE ACTORS .• TRADITIONAL STATE-TO-STATE CONFLICTS GIVING

WAY TO SUB-NATIONAL CONFLICTS.• GLOBALIZATION HAS FACILITATED THE SURFACING OF

TRANSNATIONAL ADVERSARIAL ELEMENTS: – AVAILABILITY OF MEANS TO REACH TARGET AREA

WITH EXPLOSIVES W/O DETECTION.– USE OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA TO MANIPULATE

PUBLIC OPINION. – FACILITY OF CAUSING MASS CASUALTIES OR LARGE

SCALE DESTRUCTION.

KEY AREAS OF CONFLICT

• SUB-NATIONAL CONFLICTS PRINCIPALLY LINKED TO STATE FAILURES

• HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS HAVE BECOME PART OF INTERNATIONAL SECURITY POLICIES

• TRANS-NATIONAL CHALLENGES- TERRORISM, PROLIFERATION OF WMD, ORGANIZED CRIME HAVE BECOME KEY THREATS.

• DISPROPORTIONATE EFFECT.

• STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE.

• UNDERMINING OF WILL.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE

HOW DO WE PREPARE OUR ARMIES?

HOW DO WE PREPARE OUR ARMIES?

ABILITIES REQUIRED BY THE MODERN ARMIES

• CULTURAL CHALLENGES IN PICTURING WHAT A “GOOD” ARMY LOOKS LIKE. A CULTURAL SHIFT TO SUPPORT CREATION OF JOINT INTERAGENCY COMBINED TASK FORCES – PERHAPS WITH OTHER AGENCIES HAVING PRIMACY.

• EDUCATE THE TROOPS RATHER THAN JUST TRAIN THEM. (HOW TO THINK – NOT WHAT TO THINK)

• IMPROVEMENT OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND MEDIA INTERACTION OF JUNIOR LEADERS - NEED TO BE “ON-MESSAGE”.

• REDESIGN FORCE STRUCTURE TO INCREASE MODULARITY IN ORDER TO ENABLE CREATION OF SCALABLE, TASK-CONFIGURED, INTER-AGENCY COMBINED ARMS TEAMS.

• LIC IS NO LONGER ‘LOW-INTENSITY’ – WE MUST SEEK EXCELLENCE IN CLOSE COMBAT. THIS APPLIES TO ALL ARMS AND SERVICES.

• THE DEVELOPMENT OF JUNIOR LEADERS L/CPL, CPL, LT AND CAPT IS CRITICAL AND THE HIGHEST PAY-OFF. THIS MAY BEST BE DONE BY MENTORING/ DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.

• ADAPTIVE DIVERSE THREATS REQUIRE ADAPTIVE DOCTRINE THAT TAKES OPERATIONAL LESSONS AND INCULCATES THEM INTO THE INSTITUTION IN REAL TIME.

• A LEARNING ORGANIZATION REQUIRES LIVING DOCTRINE. DOCTRINAL EDIFICES NEED TO BE REDUCED.

• WE NEED TO LEARN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES’ EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS FROM OUR OWN. PERHAPS A MECHANISM FOR THE RAPID DISTRIBUTION OF INSIGHTS AND LESSONS.

• A FEW UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AND PRACTICED PRINCIPLES CAN BE EFFECTIVE IN ACCULTURATING YOUNG MEN TO DANGEROUS AND COMPLEX CIRCUMSTANCES.

• NEED TO INSTILL EMPATHY FOR TARGET POPULATION IN OUR SOLDIERS AND LEADERS.
