Conference Description

The United States may continue to operate in fragile and failing states, requiring ever-closer cooperation among military, civilian, and NGO personnel. Even as senior leaders are exploring long-term policy solutions to address these challenges, there is an urgent need to improve cooperation at the operational level immediately.

Young professionals from the military, civilian agencies, and NGOs – together with veteran mentors with "on the ground" experience – will meet to discuss realistic, immediate, workable, operational solutions for interagency collaboration.

YPFP Civil-Military Dialogue

The mission of the YPFP Civil-Military Dialogue (CMD) is to address the need for an open and frank discussion between the members of the military and civilian foreign policy organizations, to build relationships across institutional boundaries, to inform military and civilian communities about one another, and to enhance civil-military cooperation now and in the future.
