Asking the Right Questions A Framework for Assessing Counterterrorism Actions

/reports/2016/asking-the-right-questions-a-framework-for-assessing-counterterrorism-actions

Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, the United States has dedicated an extraordinary amount of time, money, and effort to countering terrorism, using a variety of approaches and tools. However, it has devoted comparatively little effort to developing rigorous and useful assessment frameworks to help policymakers and practitioners understand how effective these counterterrorism (CT) actions have been. To address this shortfall, in this paper we first identify and characterize today’s prevailing theories of terrorism and their associated CT actions. For each theory, we then create an assessment framework—consisting of specific questions that need to be answered in order to gauge the success or failure of CT actions, and indicators that could be used to answer those questions. These assessment frameworks—which rigorously link policy to practice—should enable CT practitioners to provide policymakers and commanders direct and actionable feedback on whether the approaches they have chosen to countering terrorist groups are having the impacts they expect and desire.

Future Policy Options for US Efforts Against Al Qaeda

/reports/2017/future-policy-options-for-us-efforts-against-al-qaeda

In its independent assessment of U.S. government efforts against Al-Qaeda that was mandated by Congress via the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), CNA concluded that the current U.S. strategy toward Al-Qaeda was unlikely to achieve its stated goals to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat the group. CNA recommended that the U.S. government should undertake a new review of its policy goals and overarching strategy against Al-Qaeda. This occasional paper presents three potential policy options for the U.S. government to consider, should it seek to undertake such a review. These options are retrenchment, escalation, and containment.

Las Vegas After Action Assessment

/reports/2016/las-vegas-after-action-assessment

On June 8, 2014, two Las Vegas (Nevada) police officers were shot and killed in the line of duty while eating lunch in a local restaurant. Also killed in this cowardly ambush was a Good Samaritan civilian. The murder of a police officer in the line of duty is not only a loss to the police department and the law enforcement profession; it is a loss to the community as well. However, the targeted murder of a police officer simply because he or she wears a uniform is a threat to our very democracy and compromises both public safety and national security. When such tragedies do occur, we must take every step necessary to learn from them and see what steps can be taken to enhance officer safety and wellness. The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing recognized this in making officer safety and wellness a pillar of its report, stressing that the well-being of our law enforcement officers is vital to public safety. I applaud former Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Sheriff Douglas Gillespie for requesting this after-action report and commend the entire LVMPD for supporting an effort that will benefit the profession but required many to relive an unthinkable tragedy. We also commend CNA for their excellent work in preparing this detailed comprehensive analysis. Though we hope that no more tragedies like this occur in the future, we must do all we can to prepare for any possibility and work to reduce risk to the brave men and women who serve in law enforcement.
