Nicholas Krohley, Ph.D., and Lieutenant Colonel Stefan Muehlich discuss their study of US civil affairs and NATO CIMIC doctrine. Commissioned by the NATO CIMIC Centre of Excellence, the document compares and contrasts the two capabilities’ doctrinal tasking and highlights shared challenges.
It also charts a potential path forward, through which civil affairs and CIMIC might make an evidence-based case to the forces they support for the value of their outputs and their worthiness for better integration and resourcing.
Dr. Krohley is the founder of FrontLine Advisory and proprietor of www.civilreconnaissance.com. Lieutenant Colonel Stefan Muehlich is the branch chief of Concepts, Interoperability, and Capabilities at the NATO-accredited Civil-Military Cooperation Centre of Excellence.
