Description/Abstract
Future military operations will rely upon a coalition partnership’s ability to conduct regional and global operations across all domains. Currently the US has the most robust multi-domain skill sets of any existing military force, but the US cannot be solely responsible for operations around the globe. To do so would be geopolitically and economically infeasible. An answer may be to build cohesive coalition force units capable of combining localized capabilities and specialized US global competencies. The ability to respond to any type of threat through the synergy of coalition strengths will act to deter regional threats throughout the cooperation, competition, and conflict spectrum. These small, agile, and integrated teams must be composed of coalition partners and diverse US weapons systems experts that are specifically tailored to provide the widest range of pre-emptive and response effects without a significant buildup of personnel. This paper looks at the opportunities and risks of a Joint capability that builds off of the U.S. Army Security Force Assistance Brigade.
