Preface
This monograph documents the results of a project entitled “Improv-
ing Army Doctrine and Planning for Stability Operations.” The proj-
ect aimed to identify the evolving interagency guidelines and Joint
concepts on stability operations from the perspective of drawing out
potential guidance that may be under development for Army doctrine
on stability operations and to assess the compatibility of ongoing work
on Army doctrine for Joint stability operations.
The monograph should be of interest to those concerned with
stability operations and, more specifically, to military personnel and
civilians interested in the development of greater collaborative inter-
agency capacity for planning and conducting stability and reconstruc-
tion operations. It also should be of interest to the Army and Joint
doctrinal community concerned with stability operations. Information
cutoff date for this document is March 2007.
