Enhancing Us Global Competitiveness Through Women, Peace, And Security, Brenda Oppermann Mar 2023

Enhancing Us Global Competitiveness Through Women, Peace, And Security, Brenda Oppermann

The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters

Global powers, regional hegemons, and non-state actors engaged in a perennial state of competition dominate today’s security environment. In response, the Department of Defense has adopted the competition continuum model of cooperation, competition below armed conflict, and armed conflict. The military could significantly improve its efforts to compete along this continuum and achieve national security objectives by leveraging the Women, Peace, and Security global policy framework that supports gender equality and values women’s diverse roles in global security.


Factoring Gender Into Kinetic Operations, Jody M. Prescott Mar 2023

Factoring Gender Into Kinetic Operations, Jody M. Prescott

The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters

US military practice neither considers the gendered effects of kinetic actions in planning and executing operations nor tracks and measures them. The Department of Defense’s implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017 instead focuses on the role of women in preventing armed conflict and resolving it. The implementation of the Department of Defense’s new Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan provides an opportunity to close this gap in an operationally relevant way.
