PDD-56-1: Synchronizing Effects; Beyond the POL/MIL Plan.

ADA377192

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Bartran, J. R.
Page Count	29
Abstract	This paper offers a summary of steps taken thus far and potential solutions that will provide for more effective management in execution of complex contingency operations. In the four years since PDD-56 was signed, we have produced an organization optimized for interagency planning. PDD-56 has generated profound results in our effort to build cooperation and integration of effort in our pol/mil planning process. We need a national level Interagency CINC (CINCIA), charged with the execution of complex contingencies where unity of command can be brought to the interagency effort. USSOCOM offers unique capabilities and a military culture, which is conducive to most effectively execute DOD tasks associated with complex contingencies. It is time to consider leveraging distinctive competencies of Special Operations Command as a controlling and supported headquarters for the military element power in planning and execution of these types of missions. We need a staff to support CINCIA that can streamline coordination of the interagency plan and drive an effective rehearsal of pol/mil plans-passing them to field agencies for execution. Finally, we must empower our regional commanders with an interagency capability for implementation of pol/mil plans that takes us beyond military leaders herding other agencies by the power of persuasion towards a common purpose.
