Civil-Military Cooperation: A Relevant Component of the Lebanese Armed Forces in Today's Operational Environment
From the thesis abstract: "The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) deployment for external and internal missions, in addition to the diverse threats that Lebanon is facing, demonstrate the importance of comprehensive interactions with Lebanese civil society. This monograph argues that the lessons learned from US Civil-Military Operations and Civil Affairs, and NATO Civil-Military Interaction and CivilMilitary Cooperation doctrines offer valuable insights that can help the LAF develop its CIMIC [Civil-Military Interaction and Civil-Military Cooperation] doctrine to better address Lebanese national security threats. This research analyzes the LAF CIMIC as a case study, focusing on Civil-Military Relations and Civil-Military Interaction, the LAF comprehensive security approach, and the LAF CIMIC components to find new practices for the LAF CIMIC. This monograph suggests that the LAF should introduce the instruments of national power as lines of effort into the CIMIC doctrine, coordinate with the Directorates of Intelligence and Orientation to synchronize Information Operations and Psychologic Operations, and work on emphasizing training by establishing a CIMIC training section."

Lebanese Armed Forces Engaging Nahr Al-Bared Palestinian Refugee Camp Using the Instruments of National Power
From the thesis abstract: "This is a study of the Nahr Al-Bared Palestinian Camp battle, which occurred in 2007 in North Lebanon between the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and Fath Al-Islam (FAI) terrorist organization. It begins with a summary of the Palestinians' history in Lebanon, the Palestinian refugee camps, Nahr Al-Bared camp (NBC) characteristics, and FAI terrorist organization. Then, the study analyses the use of the Diplomatic, Informational, Military, and Economic instruments of national power (DIME) by the LAF in engagements during the NBC battle. During this extended operation, the LAF fought a fierce battle which formed a real test of its unity, military professionalism, and its ability to fight in one of the most difficult types of combat in unconventional warfare. The battle also puts the LAF as an institution, its leadership, combat units, and combat ability under the microscope of all audio-visual media that monitored the fighting minute by minute. This study describes the instruments of national power of the United States' doctrine and then analyzes their use by the LAF to manage the NBC battle. The study concludes that the application of the instruments of national power could improve the future defense of Lebanese sovereignty regarding Palestinian camps, counter-terrorism missions, and other operations."
