    Professionalizing Ministerial Advising

    Professionalizing Ministerial Advising Doctor Raymond A Millen PKSOI Paper by the US Army War College, Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, US Army War College Press "In this study, Professor Raymond Millen has identified a persistent challenge in U.S. efforts to provide effective security cooperation and capacity building with fragile and failing states—the realm of ministerial advising. From his research and analysis, he has concluded the United States has an opportunity to close the gap between U.S. good intentions and outcomes by recommending the establishment of a professional ministerial corps."

    Peace & Stability Journal, Volume 5, Issue 3 Mister Robert C Browne Peace and Stability Journal by the US Army War College, Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute "South Asia is one of the poorest and most conflict prone nations in the world. Most South Asian countries have suffered from poor governance, lack of rule of law, corruption, lack of accountability, and human rights violations. In addition, the region of South Asia as a whole has yet to fully engage itself with issues pertaining to security sector reform.

    United Nations Special Forces Manual United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Manual by the US Army War College, Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, United Nations "For several decades, United Nations peacekeeping has evolved significantly in its complexity. The spectrum of multi-dimensional UN peacekeeping includes challenging tasks such as helping to restore state authority, protecting civilians and disarming, demobilizing and reintegrating ex-combatants. In today’s context, peacekeeping missions are deploying into environments where they can expect to confront asymmetric threats from armed groups over large swaths of territory. Consequently, the capabilities required for successful peacekeeping missions demand ever-greater improvement."

    Peace & Stability Journal, Volume 5, Issue 2 Mister Robert C Browne Peace and Stability Journal by the US Army War College, Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute "The following paper is an excerpt from a JPME paper on the topic of building defense training and education institutions in Africa. It relies heavily on the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) published on February 1, 2010 for research, guidance, and conclusions. The 2014 QDR was approved and signed by the Secretary of Defense on March 4, 2014. Therefore, the publication of the new 2014 QDR requires several additional comments in order to highlight the new defense guidance on Africa contained within the document."
