“Top-Down” Change …
Concerns about the civ-mil gap have entered into
policy considerations. For example:
X Recommendations 75 and 76 of the Iraq Study Group
call for inter-agency cooperation
X Defense Department Directive 3000.05 instructs DoD
to accord stability operations priority comparable to
major combat operations
X National Security Presidential Directive 44 instructs
the State Department to integrate its work with
military capabilities
