Scenario:
The United States Government has a constant military presence in several countries around the world. A perfect example would be South Korea. However, no matter where the military is (physically), war is separated into 6 phases (0-5). Phase 0 is "Shaping" (or day-to-day/steady-state), Phase 1 is "Deter", Phase 2 is "Seize the Initiative", Phase 3 is "Dominate", Phase 4 is "Stabilize", and Phase 5 is "Enable Civil Authority". With the current fiscal environment steadily shrinking federal budgets, the Department of Defense finds itself taking on more responsibility beyond their typical scope of activities. This example paper goes into one possible solution to enable military leaders to better handle their new operational responsibilities in a Phase 0 environment. The paper also goes into some background on the military construct.
