This study analyzes the evolution of U.S. joint doctrine regarding stability operations, counter-insurgency, irregular warfare and effects-based approaches, then compares U.S. doctrine to French doctrine in these areas.
The similarities and differences between the two countries will be highlighted and the consequences thereof will be analysed in terms of:
situational assessment and strategic planning
joint command structures and the civil-military structures that are connected to them
adaptation of processes and structures to take into account the necessary interactions with international and multilateral organizations and to set up coalitions
The study will be completed in February 2010.
