Civil Affairs Roundtable:
Foreign Area Engagement Teaming

The George Mason University Peace Operations Policy Program, Reserve Officers Association, and Foreign Area Officer Association are pleased to announce the 18^th Civil Affairs Roundtable on Foreign Area Engagement Teaming, 22 March 2013, from 8:00-15:30 at the George Mason University Arlington Campus, Room 134, Founders Hall, 3351 Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22201.

Security cooperation increasingly predominates the steady state of U.S. foreign and security engagements.  Complex and comprehensive challenges in the face of limited resources call for a greater teaming approach that brings together disparate capabilities along political-military, civil-military, interagency, public-private, and international lines. 

This Roundtable takes a look at how country teams may better leverage Active and Reserve Civil Affairs, Foreign Area Officers, and other military capabilities in support of whole-of-government efforts to bring peace, stability, and security to partner nations and regions. The aim is to open an ongoing dialogue among represented organizations on this critical coordination need.

Key speakers and panelists will be from the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and other Defense agencies and commands, as well as the U.S. Institute of Peace, United Nations, and the Alliance for Peacebuilding.
