GSG members have deployed to countries around the world, providing subject matter expertise for projects in support of U.S. and NATO commands and civilian government agencies. As an outcome of supporting experiments, war-games, and exercises, the GSG has led or supported the development of numerous policy premise documents, reports, and handbooks on best practices for civil-military, interagency, and host-country cooperation.
The topics include:
In its work, the GSG has developed effective tools for conducting assessments, planning, monitoring and evaluating programs and operations dealing with emerging security challenges and high risk environments. GSG initiatives focus on improving cooperation between civilian, military, law enforcement, international and nongovernmental organizations while promoting government and private sector cooperation to address problems and overlapping interests in areas such as the global commons.
Over the last few years, the GSG has taken the experience acquired working within our national security architecture to develop geopolitical risk analysis as well as war-gaming/decision support services for senior leaders in the private sector whose organizations may be exposed to security challenges in the international markets. What has become clear is that the defense/security component of the commercial risk services provided by our major competitors is weak – much of it done by proxy. Efforts to address our rapidly evolving and complex global security challenges will require a much closer examination and understanding of the hybrid threats we face – GSG intends to help fill this void.
The members of the Global Strategy Group are available to assist with long-term or short-term projects to tailor strategies that fit your organization’s needs. Team members are available to travel on short notice, if necessary.
