Illusive Victory: From Blast Furnace to Green Sweep
"Since Secretary of Defense Richard B. Cheney's staunch Department of Defense (DOD) letter of September 1989, the military has been actively supporting drug law enforcement agencies at home and abroad. In the US Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) area, Operation Support Justice has provided continued military support to US ambassadors' counterdrug efforts and to the host nations' counterdrug infrastructures in order to attack drugs at the source. US Army Forces Command, by way of its continental armies and Joint Task Force 6, has been supporting major marijuana eradication operations, while the state governors' National Guard has been especially active in countering drugs at the growing source. Many of these operations are large-scale efforts involving interagency planning and civil-military cooperation in the execution of complex concepts for operations. Operations such as Green Sweep, Green Merchant, Ghost Dancer, Ghost Zone, Grizzly, Wipeout, Badge and Blast Furnace have become highly visible to citizens of the United States and South America, creating some curiosity as well as outright anger at military involvement. With another season for 'whack and stack' operations fast upon us, it would be useful to look at example interagency operations, one abroad and one at home, to explore just where these types of operations fit into our counterdrug strategies. Have they had any real impact on the drug threat? What is the significance of these large counterdrug operations? Do they fit our objectives? Are they backed with the requisite resources and long-term commitments needed to make their concepts work?"

Drug Threat: Getting Priorities Straight
"This article explores a number of propositions related to the roles of US military forces in the war on drugs. They include an assessment of our current level of involvement in counterdrug support as a function of what we believe to be the threat, leading to the question of whether we need more or less military support to the counterdrug strategy. The article concludes that we should increase the tempo of military counterdrug support and reconsider our force design for supporting the counterdrug strategy."

Interagency Cooperation: A Regional Model for Overseas Operations
"This case study describes methods used to encourage and support multiagency cooperation. Drawing upon the experience of the U.S. Southem Command in the early 1990s, it suggests ways that can assist civilian and military leadership to integrate the skills and capabilities of the many U.S. Government agencies that operate in an overseas region. These methods describe a process that can be important to civilian and military officials concerned with regional policy and strategy because it has proven helpful in resolving issues of interagency coordination in the Southern Region. Its methods can be applied in other areas as well."

SOF Role in Combating Transnational Organized Crime
"It is my pleasure to present this publication's summary and conclusions
from our 2015 Symposium on Transnational Organized Crime (TOC)
conducted with our Canadian Special Operations Forces (CANSOF) and
Mexican special operations and law enforcement partners. Why is TOC a
concern and why should it be a concern to our special operations community?
The nexus between criminal and terrorist networks is significant and
evolving, and the threat to our nations' security demands that we collectively
explore regional whole-of-government approaches and determine the potential
Special Operations Forces (SOF) roles for countering and diminishing
these violent destabilizing networks. The panel summaries that fill this publication
detail our national sovereignty challenges, shared opportunities, and
most importantly, some very useful conclusions regarding the employment
of SOF against TOC."
