Countering Domestic Violent Extremism

Domestic violent extremism (DVE) is a pressing concern for defense and national security policy-makers. In order to define the issue, place DVE in historical context, and suggest steps to address the problem, CNA’s National Security Seminar convened three of its experts for a discussion titled “Countering DVE: Drivers, Challenges, and What Comes Next.”

DVE is part of the US political landscape Dr. William Rosenau, CNA’s senior policy historian ... in the space today, and Rosenau tied this moment to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), which is the most significant DVE organization in US history. The KKK had peaks during the post–Civil War Reconstruction ... –1990s, culminating in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The historical lesson to consider in the current wave, according to Rosenau, is that DVE can

Origins and Development of Cooperative Strategy

On August 2, 2011, Admiral (ADM) Jonathan Greenert was confirmed to succeed ADM Gary Roughead as the U.S. Navy’s 30th Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), to take office the following month. Like his 29 predecessors, ADM Greenert faced issues of Navy readiness, personnel, acquisition, and resources. He was also troubled by the content and effect of the Navy’s existing strategy document, A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower (CS21), published by all three U.S. sea services back in October 2007.

Al Qaeda Core A Case Study

/reports/2017/al-qaeda-core-a-case-study

Section 1228 of the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) states: “The Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, shall provide for the conduct of an independent assessment of the effectiveness of the United States’ efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat Al- Qaeda, including its affiliated groups, associated groups, and adherents since September 11, 2001.” The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict (ASD (SO/LIC)) asked CNA to conduct this independent assessment, which was completed in August 2017. In order to conduct this assessment, CNA used a comparative methodology that included eight case studies on groups affiliated or associated with Al-Qaeda. These case studies were then used as a dataset for cross-case comparison. This document is a stand-alone version of the Al-Qaeda “Core” case study used in the Independent Assessment. CNA is publishing each of the eight case studies separately for the convenience of analysts and others who may have a regional or functional focus that corresponds to a specific case study. For the context in which this case study was used and for CNA’s full findings, see Independent Assessment of U.S. Government Efforts against Al-Qaeda.

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.

. To our knowledge, this is the first time such a comprehensive mapping of terrorism theories to CT indicators has been performed. Jonathan Schroden William Rosenau /reports/2016/drm-2015-u-012261-final
