Description

Students in this course will consider the approach taken by interagency and allied partners in addressing similar security risks. Understanding and analysis of interagency and potential partners provides students the ability to consider opportunities for future collaboration, or even leveraging existing capabilities and influence. This 24-hour module consists of three (3) lessons. Lesson one discusses current U.S. doctrine and academic concepts adopted or in consideration by the United States to address belligerents. This includes the introduction of conflict paradigms concerning irregular warfare, competition, and deterrence. Lesson two provides students an opportunity to understand, analyze, and evaluate the approaches taken by interagency partners in addressing sources of instability and competition. Lesson three introduces how allies and partners address security threats and their historical and emergent relationships with the United States and special operations. Students will complete readings, listen to podcasts, watch media, and participate in collaborative discussion boards in preparation for each class.
