  1. Synergy Strike Force-Iraq (SSF-I) “It’s about the mission” Dr David Warner Mindtel San Diego, CA CDR Greg Glaros Office of Force Transformation Rosslyn, VA CAPT Scot Miller Chief, MNF-I KM Division Camp Victory, Iraq

  2. Approach for Success • Learn what the Iraq is doing; learn what Washington is thinking • Reconcile Iraq and DC node maps • Deconflict and prioritize same • Plan – Enable – Execute • Measure – Report • Reassess - Iterate

  3. Strategic Overview Resolving Iraqi insanity versus DC delusions • Iraq Integration DC Integration • Identify nodes – • connect the dots • Explore- discover – • diagnose • Map the knowable • Nodal intelligence • DOD DOS • Identify: • Assumptions • Expectations • Resource commitment Entity list Know who is doing what – Name of all the nodes Know what they are doing – Task of every node Know where they are doing it - AO of node Know when they are doing it – Progress of node Results in Leverage critical path node dependencies: quick win opportunities and “doable” technical solutions

  4. Order of operations: 1. “Grok the Op” aka, proactively/intentionally seek to comprehend all aspects of the operations leading to objectives and a plan 2. Reality therapy - go and know, site visits, interviews, and interrogations 3. Identify critical path nodes and prioritize and nurture initial relationships 4. Instigate and facilitate internodal interaction 5. Monitor and modify interactions to adapt to the dynamic environment

  5. Nodes in Context Critical Nodes ROC MNSTC-I Communications Transportation Business ROC Oil Police Military IHP Border Protection MNSTC-I

  6. Aero Stat Extend capability Know where it looks Know who is in the AO Communicate to operators in the AO Robots (less mature) Operational experimentation NPS – test and verify (already in work in March) Camp Victory & IZ & ? Potential Low Hanging FruitTactical Examples

  7. Synergy Strike Force-IraqConcept of Operations Team composition: 1-2 from .mil, .gov, .org, .com, .edu • .mil =senior level with operational experience and deep tickets TS/SCI • .gov = organizational and political understanding and navigation abilities • .org = established social networks and operational experience working in challenging and austere environments • .com = good understanding of modern business practices (21st century netted efforts) • .edu = eclectic know it all with the ability to operate as principal synergist between all entities; practical versus pedantic

  8. No duh Observations • Security is necessary for reconstruction • Communications is necessary for security • Networks are necessary for communications • Cooperation is necessary for building networks • Relationships are necessary for establishing cooperation • Cooperation comes from mutually shared goals • Shared goals are derived from a common mission • Common missions are spawned from a coherent vision • Coherent vision emerges from a comprehensive understanding • Comprehensive understanding comes from knowledge and experience • Knowledge and experience is enabled by ingenuity and exposure

  9. SSF-I Timing • 30-60 days max – go, know, see, do
