S/CRS’ Planning Office is responsible for building an interagency capacity within the U.S. Government to plan for conflict transformation. The office works with U.S. Government, non-governmental, and multilateral partners to develop, implement, and refine a set of planning and metrics tools to foster whole-of-government approaches to conflict response.
In addition, the planning team develops and provides training in civil-military and multilateral planning for conflict transformation, to promote global civilian planning capacity. The Planning office engages in outreach to our partners within and outside the U.S. Government to introduce and solicit feedback on our planning tools. Through U.S. Joint Forces Command’s Multi-National Experiment series, Planning also facilitates a civil-military dialogue that allows for constructive discussions among key on-the-ground actors, including NGO and international organization colleagues, about the value added of civilians in military planning processes and a framework for civil-military planning.
