More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This case study analysis reveals that a successful 2010 FID/counterinsurgency organization requires unity of effort; coordinated and effective intelligence; minimum use of violence; integrated psychological warfare operations; effective mechanisms to enhance legitimacy (both U.S. and host nation); precision targeting of the insurgent infrastructure; perseverance; and patience. The organizational structure that has the capabilities of meeting these requirements is a ‘new’ organization that calls for the current Special Forces Group organization to form the nucleus of this new Special Forces Group 2010. The organization consists of a group command structure augmented by an Interagency Coordination Detachment. Reporting to the group command is an enhanced group staff, two Special Forces battalions, one support battalion, one civil affairs company, one psychological operations company, one signal company, one military police company, one aviation company, and one engineer company. This organizational structure offers maximum flexibility with limited direct U.S. involvement while providing effective support for the host nation to win the support of its people and defeat the insurgency
