Strategic American Warfighter; CT & HS Solutions

[K_Poskey]

Good Afternoon,

I am in the process of establishing an all volunteer, non-profit organization called "Strategic American Warfighter.

The purpose of the Strategic American Warfighter (or SAW) is to develop and promote sound combat/diplomatic strategy in an ever changing war theater. We do this by gathering professionals in the area(s), as well as any advocate who is willing to support our efforts. Together, we can create a group of people who work together to make a rapid difference in this area.

When I say rapid difference, I am talking about creating a new, sound war doctrine for fighting the war on terror within the next 2 years. Officials are saying that Al Qaeda in Pakistan could be gone in two years, but we are being warned of potential terror threats from Syria ( not to mention all the other unstable countries in the region).

Our current methodology of war in the Middle East could be compared to the Revolutionary War; where the British fought a traditional war, not following the doctrine of war.

While major improvements have been made by government and military leaders, there is a need for a huge improvement in our strategy in order to save the lives of our American Warfighter.

I am looking for volunteers from across the nation to volunteer their time, experience, and background to help develop the next generation of Counterterrorism Doctrine, Theories, and Technology, as well as serve a think-tank for HS/CT.

If you believe in advancing technology, developing better war-fighting strategy, securing our borders, or simply better preparing the American Warfighter to complete his mission, then we need your help!

This is a huge feat to accomplish, and I do not have the experience or expertise to accomplish this on my own. In fact, many people will probably laugh at the idea of accomplishing this as a civilian organization. I recognize this, but believe it is important for us to support our government, instead of criticizing. Additionally, bringing new and a variety of new brains to the table could result in a much better doctrine being developed; providing sound tactics for the warfighter, thus saving lives.

Our objectives, in order are as follows:
1. Create a new doctrine for Counterterrorism(CT) Operations NLT Jan 2013.
2. Establish a non-government Permanent Professional CT Advisory Board(composed of Civilian/Military/Government), Jan 2013.
3. Lobby/Educate New Doctrine among Military and Government Leaders who can make the changes.
4. Begin evaluating Homeland Security(HS) Doctrine and brainstorming new ways to protect the homeland, Start Jan 2013.

If your willing to help in anyway, please check out the organization on Facebook and Twitter.

I am working to establish a website, email system, and other portions of the non-profit; this wont be complete for a few more months.

Until, please consider how you can help, and encourage others to join our effort.

I'd love feedback on the concept and of course, all the support I can get!

V/R,

One would hope that you did not use your CAP E-mail to for this organisation.  It may blur the lines between the two.

[K_Poskey]

No; reference portion on setting up an organization specific email.

Also, what he said. Set up a Gmail account and call it a day, don't attach CAP to this.

This all sounds kind of hokey to me...

You really shouldnt have links to CAP cadet activities all over your FB page when advertising your Counter Terrorism non-profit group.  Just an idea

You lost me.... The British army fought a traditional war, which did not follow the doctrine of war?

Are you referring to my personal page?

This is a inside joke from my Arabic class....It must have duplicated itself into my post. I will fix.

This all sounds kind of hokey to me...

What can I do to fix this? I'm willing to take criticism if you have a way for me to improve what I'm doing.

Yes; it doesn't make sense. The British attempted a traditional war, but failed because they neglected the basic concepts of the doctrine of war. We started the war on terror with a "traditional war" mindset, only to realize the threat was not from a nation-state, and required different tactics. It's a good thing we realized this fact, but now its vital that our strategy changes to address this issue.

Never seen this before; enjoyed it!

On another note, I am looking for combat veterans from the recent conflicts in Iraq/Afghanistan who would be willing to allow me to interview for my research. Specifically regarding their experiences, as well as hear their opinion on how we can improve our tactics/strategy for the warfighter.

If your willing, please PM me.

And I'm open to constructive criticism.

[Майор Хаткевич]

Thinking this will be as effective as NCAC.

[tsrup]

Hey maybe you can start up a Colorado Chapter of US Ranger Corps

That would be pretty neat.

[Short Field]

I do not have the experience or expertise to accomplish this on my own.

Other than the above qualifiers, do you have any other experience or qualifications for understanding or creating military doctrine?  Formal education?  Military experience?  Professional Military Education?  Military Doctrine vs American Foreign Policy?

I think in the end, they failed because they got spread thin, fighting a war globally, had internal political issues, didn't have the financial means, and got surrounded.  They got out-espionaged too.  Naval power played a decisive role.  The Glorious Cause (Oxford University Press) provides an excellent, brief, 800-page summary.

A few things off the top of my head:

CV-if yours doesnt fit the needed background, you need to find someones (vetted) who's does and have them front your plan.

CT SME's arent free (many are good natured, patriotic americans willing to help thier country, but very rarely free) what you do find need to (again) be vetted-this screams wanna be, and likely will attract wanna be's that can spin a convincing yarn (however well intentioned you may be, you dont sound like a pro to the field and the wannabe's will exploit that with tales of CT specialism in secret units that they cant tell you about without having to kill you, vague but never concrete units and missions and sealed records etc etc (look even the FBI got scamed by a do it yourself "expert")

Security Clearance?......OPSEC?
Even if I was not a super-secret-ninja-commando-seal-recon-green beret if some random internet dude wanted to "interview me" for his "research" I think I would consider dropping a line to the local FBI office to check it out... how better to AAR your terrorist/insurgent techniques and tactics than to ask the people you used them against about how well they worked or didnt work and what they would do to combat any that did work......under the guise of a "Research think tank" to "help your country"..... all free of charge.......

Are you creating an organization to fill a niche or trying to create a niche to fill an organization

This sounds a lot like a DHS responsability; why does the government need a NGO to do what they have numerous departments already doing?

Sorry dude, it sounds like good natured intent, but it sounds more like wanna-be.... ie I cant get a real job on HLS even as a baggage scanner so I am going to just make up my own.......

good luck anyway....hope we dont see you on the next version of phony seal, phony green beret etc etc

Agreed.  CT is not exactly like starting a Tea Party.

[N Harmon]

How about a think tank devoted to solutions related to Search and Rescue? There might be quite a lot of CAP people willing to volunteer to make that happen.

In fact, you could spend a lot of time aggregating various training material from across the country and small "tricks of the trade" that people have picked up. Formulate it into a "best practices".

This is the kind of feedback I was looking for; thanks.
