The Center for Complex Operations and the Asia-Pacific Civil-Military Centre of Excellence are hosting a two-day international conference on building civil-military security capacity.

The conference will focus on the role of security capacity development in peace and stabilization operations and state formation.

Four sub-themes will be addressed:

U.S. and allied strategy in Afghanistan is at a crossroads. Fiscal pressures in the West, the end of the surge, the turnover of key areas to Afghan security forces, the drawdown of forces, and the preliminary efforts at reconciliation and reintegration add importance to the study of this topic.

Understanding War in Afghanistan aims to provide military leaders, civil servants, diplomats, and students with the intellectual basis that they need to begin to prepare for further study of or an assignment in Afghanistan. This book analyzes the land and its people, recaps Afghan history, and assesses the current situation. It also examines the range of choices for future U.S. policy toward Afghanistan.

Facebook Discussion: In advance of this event, please join us on Facebook for a discussion about the current situation in Sudan. Submit your questions for USIP Sudan experts, Jon Temin and Linda Bishai, to answer.
