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. CHARACTERISTICS OF ASYMMETRIC WARFARE

FUTURE SECURITY CHALLENGES ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS. RADICAL BRAND OF TERRORISM. NBC TERRORISM. CYBER-TERRORISM. TRAFFICKING OF ARMS AND DRUGS. SECURITY OF SEA LANES OF COMMUNICATION. ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION. DEMOGRAPHIC DRIFT. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

EMPLOYING COOPERATION TO ADDRESS COMMON SECURITY CHALLENGES

INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM. TRANS NATIONAL CRIMES LIKE FISHERY PROTECTION. SECURITY OF SEA LANES OF COMMUNICATION. TRAFFICKING OF DRUGS. MONEY LAUNDERING. DISEASE. DEMOGRAPHIC DRIFT. THREATS TO GROWING WORLD ECONOMY. DESTRUCTION OF THE SUBSISTENCE ECONOMY. CYBER CRIMES. WMD PROLIFERATION. ILLEGAL ARMS SMUGGLING. ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS. ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION. FUTURE SECURITY CHALLENGES

PRINCIPLES OF COOPERATION CLEAR IDENTIFICATION OF COMMON AIM/OBJECTIVE/MISSION AND TERMS OF REFERENCES. ACCEPT TEMPORARY DILUTION OF CONTROL FOR LONG TERM BENEFITS. TRANSPARENCY. INTERDEPENDENCE AND INTERVULNERABILITY. MUTUAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER. INTEROPERABILITY/COMPLEMENTARITY: –SHARED INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENCE. –SHARED PLANNING. –COMMON DOCTRINES.

COOPERATIVE RESPONSE OPTIONS FOR FUTURE SECURITY CHALLENGES

INFORMATION EXCHANGE MECHANISM. CONTINGENCY PLANS/KEY TARGET PROTECTION. SEMINARS AND TRAINING COURSES. COMBINED MULTILATERAL AND INTER- AGENCY EXERCISES. PRE-EMERGENCY ACTIONS

COOPERATIVE RESPONSE OPTIONS FOR FUTURE SECURITY CHALLENGES REGIONAL COOPERATIVE RESPONSE. DEVELOP SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS TO UNIQUE REGIONAL ISSUES. INVOLVEMENT OF UN IN LEGITIMISING AND G-8 IN SUPPORTING REGIONAL INITIATIVES. OPERATIONAL RESPONSE

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. DOCTRINE AND INDIVIDUAL PREPARATION
