FM 3-07.1: Security Force Assistance FM 3-07.1 May 2009 Security Force Assistance DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTION. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Headquarters, Department of the Army Foreword We remain a nation at war in an era of persistent conflict, but we do not stand alone. Our nation has many multinational partners, equally committed to freedom, rule of law and stability. It is clear that we are stronger when we act with partners in today’s operating environment. Therefore, security force assistance is no longer an “additional duty.” It is now a core competency of our Army. As distinctions separating war and peace blur and challenges to security increase, we must seek to help our multinational partners successfully confront their security challenges. Security force assistance builds our multinational partners’ capability to defeat regular, irregular, and hybrid threats prevalent in an era of persistent conflict. The two pillars of security force assistance are the modular brigade and Soldiers acting as advisors. Their tactical efforts build partner capability and improve the security situation. Over time, U.S. forces and partners foreign security forces collectively set the conditions to defeat common threats and ultimately achieve strategic success. This manual addresses common characteristics and considerations for conducting security force assistance and clarifies what units and individual advisors must understand to work “by, with, and through” their counterparts. Since every situation and foreign security force is unique, units and individuals conducting security force assistance must carefully analyze the operational environment, especially the relationships of foreign security forces and their population. Conducting successful security force assistance requires adaptive units led by well- informed, culturally astute leaders. FM 3-07.1 provides commanders, staffs, and advisors with the common doctrine for achieving this goal. Conducting foreign security assistance requires great skill in building relationships and “leading from behind.” We must all increase our understanding of this important mission. MARTIN E.

  • The Evolution of the US Advisory Effort in Viet Nam: Lessons Learned
    2009 The Evolution of the US Advisory Effort in Viet Nam: Lessons Learned by ∗ James H. Willbanks ABSTRACT Accounts of human rights abuses and stories of shooting incidents have dominated the image of the private security industry in the media. Despite plenty of anecdotal evidence, to date there has been no empirical research analyzing whether there is a professional identity emerging among individuals who sign on with private security firms to assume roles traditionally reserved for the military. Using a survey of more than 200 American private security contractors with law enforcement backgrounds and operational experience in conflict regions, this research explores their social identities and examines the extent to which these identities shape their values, attitudes, and professional self-conceptions. It concludes with some preliminary recommendations for the future of outsourcing security functions to the private sector and the utility of using contractors in peace and stability operations. INTRODUCTION Much discussion has taken place in the last few years about the lessons learned from the American experience in Viet Nam and the applicability of these lessons to the contemporary challenges in recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are more differences than similarities between Viet Nam and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq but that does not mean there are no useful lessons. Some of those lessons, particularly with regard to the US advisory effort in Viet Nam, might inform the contemporary problems advisors face in building indigenous forces in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Before addressing lessons learned it is appropriate to consider the evolution of the advisory effort in Viet Nam.

Dissertation Advisor: Author: Professor Stephen Rosen Gabrielle Ramaiah Determinants of Success and Failure in US Advising of Foreign Militaries, 1945- Present Abstract Military advising is frequently touted as a high-impact, low-cost strategy that allows the United States to achieve its security goals without deploying combat troops. The US military now considers foreign military advising to be a core competency, and it has become increasingly involved in military advising missions since 2001, a trend most expect to continue well into the future. Remarkably, neither academic scholars nor the policy community has investigated how effective advising actually is or what factors determine success. Both the United States and others have pursued major foreign policy strategies based on this unproven assumption.

Preface This working paper examines the ways in which the U.S. military applies development aid to address popular root causes in the “hold” and “build” phases of counterinsurgency (COIN). It specifically examines three critiques of current practice, and explores the suitability of alternative paradigms for contemporary U.S. operations and doctrine. It also offers draft recommendations designed to help U.S. policymakers and practitioners improve the efficiency and effectiveness of development aid in COIN.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&M Repository UNITED STATES MILITARY ADVISORY ASSISTANCE GROUPS DURING THE COLD WAR, 1945-1965 A Dissertation by NATHANIEL R WEBER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Brian Linn Committee Members, Terry Anderson Adam Seipp Brian Rouleau Jason Parker Head of Department, David Vaught May 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Nathaniel R Weber ABSTRACT Military assistance advisory groups (MAAGs) played an important part in United States strategy during the first two decades of the Cold War. From 1947 to 1963, the US provided billions of dollars in military weapons, equipment, and supplies to its allies, in an attempt to strengthen them against real and perceived communist threats. The advisors managed the delivery of this materiel and trained combat and support troops in dozens of nations. In some cases, the advisors provided direct guidance to allies at war The armed forces committed thousands of officers to the advisory effort. The advisory groups, for a variety of reasons, achieved only mixed success. The advisors received very limited advisory training, served short tours of duty, and could rarely speak the native language of the host military. There were strict financial and time limitations of military assistance. Lastly, the advisors themselves emphasized training that reflected resource-intense American warfare, inappropriate for many of its allies. Though assistance and advising strengthened several allies and helped others defeat communist enemies, no recipient of aid was able to provide for its own defense without US support, and the advisory mission to South Vietnam ended in disaster.

  • Counterinsurgency Warfare and the US Military Advisory
    THE JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC STUDIES, 2018 https://doi.org/10.1080/01402390.2018.1428566 ARTICLE The client gets a vote: counterinsurgency warfare and the U.S. military advisory mission in South Vietnam, 1954-1965 Jacqueline L. Hazelton1 1Department of Strategy and Policy, U.S. Naval War College, Newport, RI, USA ABSTRACT The belief that U.S. military advisors in South Vietnam did not know how to conduct a counterinsurgency campaign underpins belief that reforms are necessary for counterinsurgency success. However, contemporaneous U.S. documents show that military officers in the advisory period, 1954–1965, believed in the need for reforms and pressed their South Vietnamese counter- parts to implement them. If advisors urged their partners to liberalize and democratize, yet the state remained autocratic, repressive, and corrupt, what explains the South Vietnamese failure to reform? I identify the client state’s ability and will to resist reforms as an important overlooked element of counterinsurgency campaigns. KEYWORDS Counterinsurgency; Vietnam; military intervention; patron-client relations; great power military intervention Introduction Much that U.S. policymakers, practitioners, and scholars understand about counterinsurgency rests on the belief that U.S. military advisors in South Vietnam did not know what comprises an effective counterinsurgency cam- paign. If the advisors had known what to do, the argument goes, the South Vietnamese government would have reformed itself at U.S. urging and survived the insurgent and Northern challenge. This belief relies on Andrew Krepinevich Jr.’s landmark 1986 book on the Vietnam war, which suggests counterfactually that had the U.S. Army understood counterinsur- gency, South Vietnam could have survived.1 Contemporaneous U.S.
