1. (U) This cable is Sensitive But Unclassified -- Not for
Internet distribution.
2. (U) SUMMARY: As part of the U.S. Government Interagency
Counterinsurgency Initiative, the State Department collaborated
with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to deliver a
European conference on insurgency in Munich, Germany in late
March. The event was entitled "A Comprehensive Approach to
Modern Conflict: Afghanistan and Beyond." The conference
succeeded in its goals of: 1) opening a discussion on a whole-
of-government, civilian-led approach to counterinsurgency with
NATO partners and other close allies, the European Union and
international organizations such as the World Bank; and 2)
supporting efforts at NATO to develop the Comprehensive
Approach. END SUMMARY.
3. (U) As part of the U.S. Government Interagency
Counterinsurgency Initiative, which seeks to socialize
counterinsurgency concepts across the civilian USG agencies and
to improve the USG's ability to help host nations defeat
destructive insurgencies, the Office of Plans, Policy and
Analysis in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/PPA),
the Office of the Coordinator for Stabilization and
Reconstruction (S/CRS),and the Office of European Security and
Political Affairs in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
(EUR/RPM) organized the Comprehensive Approach to Modern
Conflict conference jointly with the Stability Operations and
NATO Affairs offices in OSD. The event was held under the
auspices of the Marshall Center in Munich on March 26-27. The
conference was not about Afghanistan specifically, but focused
on counterinsurgency and used Afghanistan as a contemporary and
compelling case study from which to initiate discussion.
4. (SBU) Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Ambassador Eric
Edelman, NATO Assistant Secretary General Martin Erdmann, and
former NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)
Commander General David Richards delivered keynote addresses.
The audience of 180 senior policy makers was drawn mainly from
ISAF contributing countries, the Afghan government, NATO, the
EU, and major international organizations such as the World
Bank, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the NGO
and academic community. Government participants were mainly
from the ministries of foreign affairs and defense, with a small
contingent from national development agencies.
-------------- --------------
THE DISCUSSION ON COUNTERINSURGENCY AND COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
-------------- --------------
5. (SBU) Despite European reluctance to use the term
"counterinsurgency", the concept was at the heart of the event.
Conversations regarding the substance of the Comprehensive
Approach and counterinsurgency were more advanced in Europe than
the conference organizers had anticipated. Across European
capitals, the term "Comprehensive Approach" -- in NATO, denoting
a joint civil-military approach to complex challenges, mainly
stabilization and reconstruction -- does not yet have a common,
agreed definition. However, it has increasing currency among
European governments.
6. (SBU) The Comprehensive Approach discussions addressed the
importance of closer coordination of NATO's military capacity
and civilian assets, the need for a counterinsurgency program or
some form of civil-military strategy for non-permissive
environments, and coordination between NATO and various
international actors, both governmental and non-governmental.
One working group pointed out the need to properly resource
civilian agencies if a civilian-led, whole-of-government
counterinsurgency strategy, including post-conflict
reconstruction and stabilization operations, is to be viable.
Across a number of presentations there was a strong theme of
encouraging Afghans to take control of the governance and
reconstruction processes developing in their own country,
including the counterinsurgency effort.
--------------
CONFERENCE DELIVERABLES
--------------
7. (U) The conference's focus on Afghanistan added a sense of
urgency to discussions at NATO this spring on developing
pragmatic proposals for implementing the "Comprehensive
Approach" within the Alliance. NATO Defense Ministers will
likely approve a raft of initiatives in June aimed at improving
civil-military interface in the areas of: (1) planning and
operations; (2) training and exercises; (3) cooperation with
international and non-governmental organizations and local
STATE 00081232 002 OF 013

SUPPORTS NATO EFFORTS ON COMPREHENSIVE APPROA
actors; and (4) strategic communications. If approved by
Ministers, a follow-on series of recommendations for
implementing these pragmatic proposals will be developed later
this year.
8. (SBU) Conference deliverables included proposed
counterinsurgency courses at the NATO School and Under Secretary
Edelman's proposal for a counterinsurgency academy in
Afghanistan. The latter was established in May of this year.
The first class included 45 Afghans and 15 participants from
ISAF contributing nations -- Australia, Canada, the Czech
Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and
Turkey -- among its 123 graduates, the remainder being
Americans. There were also one Pole and two Romanians on the
teaching staff, along with State and USAID officers. The next
one-week class will begin in July.
9. (U) Finally, virtual discussion groups based on working
group topics may be established, and the international linkages
for the OSD-State-USAID sponsored Center for Complex Operations
will be expanded. (NOTE: The Center for Complex Operations is
a work in progress. It will be an interagency body with a
whole-of-government focus on strengthening the USG's capability
to more effectively conduct irregular warfare, stabilization and
reconstruction, and counterinsurgency activities. The center
will network training, education, research and lessons learned
programs underway across the USG and among international
partners.)

SUBJECT: EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON INSURGENCY OPENS DIALOGUE;
SUPPORTS NATO EFFORTS ON COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
1. (U) This cable is Sensitive But Unclassified -- Not for
Internet distribution.
2. (U) SUMMARY: As part of the U.S. Government Interagency
Counterinsurgency Initiative, the State Department collaborated
with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to deliver a
European conference on insurgency in Munich, Germany in late
March. The event was entitled "A Comprehensive Approach to
Modern Conflict: Afghanistan and Beyond." The conference
succeeded in its goals of: 1) opening a discussion on a whole-
of-government, civilian-led approach to counterinsurgency with
NATO partners and other close allies, the European Union and
international organizations such as the World Bank; and 2)
supporting efforts at NATO to develop the Comprehensive
Approach. END SUMMARY.
3. (U) As part of the U.S. Government Interagency
Counterinsurgency Initiative, which seeks to socialize
counterinsurgency concepts across the civilian USG agencies and
to improve the USG's ability to help host nations defeat
destructive insurgencies, the Office of Plans, Policy and
Analysis in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/PPA),
the Office of the Coordinator for Stabilization and
Reconstruction (S/CRS),and the Office of European Security and
Political Affairs in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
(EUR/RPM) organized the Comprehensive Approach to Modern
Conflict conference jointly with the Stability Operations and
NATO Affairs offices in OSD. The event was held under the
auspices of the Marshall Center in Munich on March 26-27. The
conference was not about Afghanistan specifically, but focused
on counterinsurgency and used Afghanistan as a contemporary and
compelling case study from which to initiate discussion.
4. (SBU) Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Ambassador Eric
Edelman, NATO Assistant Secretary General Martin Erdmann, and
former NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)
Commander General David Richards delivered keynote addresses.
The audience of 180 senior policy makers was drawn mainly from
ISAF contributing countries, the Afghan government, NATO, the
EU, and major international organizations such as the World
Bank, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the NGO
and academic community. Government participants were mainly
from the ministries of foreign affairs and defense, with a small
contingent from national development agencies.
-------------- --------------
THE DISCUSSION ON COUNTERINSURGENCY AND COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
-------------- --------------
5. (SBU) Despite European reluctance to use the term
"counterinsurgency", the concept was at the heart of the event.
Conversations regarding the substance of the Comprehensive
Approach and counterinsurgency were more advanced in Europe than
the conference organizers had anticipated. Across European
capitals, the term "Comprehensive Approach" -- in NATO, denoting
a joint civil-military approach to complex challenges, mainly
stabilization and reconstruction -- does not yet have a common,
agreed definition. However, it has increasing currency among
European governments.
6. (SBU) The Comprehensive Approach discussions addressed the
importance of closer coordination of NATO's military capacity
and civilian assets, the need for a counterinsurgency program or
some form of civil-military strategy for non-permissive
environments, and coordination between NATO and various
international actors, both governmental and non-governmental.
One working group pointed out the need to properly resource
civilian agencies if a civilian-led, whole-of-government
counterinsurgency strategy, including post-conflict
reconstruction and stabilization operations, is to be viable.
Across a number of presentations there was a strong theme of
encouraging Afghans to take control of the governance and
reconstruction processes developing in their own country,
including the counterinsurgency effort.
--------------
CONFERENCE DELIVERABLES
--------------
7. (U) The conference's focus on Afghanistan added a sense of
urgency to discussions at NATO this spring on developing
pragmatic proposals for implementing the "Comprehensive
Approach" within the Alliance. NATO Defense Ministers will
likely approve a raft of initiatives in June aimed at improving
civil-military interface in the areas of: (1) planning and
operations; (2) training and exercises; (3) cooperation with
international and non-governmental organizations and local
STATE 00081232 002 OF 013

SUPPORTS NATO EFFORTS ON COMPREHENSIVE APPROA
actors; and (4) strategic communications. If approved by
Ministers, a follow-on series of recommendations for
implementing these pragmatic proposals will be developed later
this year.
8. (SBU) Conference deliverables included proposed
counterinsurgency courses at the NATO School and Under Secretary
Edelman's proposal for a counterinsurgency academy in
Afghanistan. The latter was established in May of this year.
The first class included 45 Afghans and 15 participants from
ISAF contributing nations -- Australia, Canada, the Czech
Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and
Turkey -- among its 123 graduates, the remainder being
Americans. There were also one Pole and two Romanians on the
teaching staff, along with State and USAID officers. The next
one-week class will begin in July.
9. (U) Finally, virtual discussion groups based on working
group topics may be established, and the international linkages
for the OSD-State-USAID sponsored Center for Complex Operations
will be expanded. (NOTE: The Center for Complex Operations is
a work in progress. It will be an interagency body with a
whole-of-government focus on strengthening the USG's capability
to more effectively conduct irregular warfare, stabilization and
reconstruction, and counterinsurgency activities. The center
will network training, education, research and lessons learned
programs underway across the USG and among international
partners.)
-------------- --------------
POCS AND INFORMATION ON COIN AND THE COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

10. (U) The Department would like to thank the 40-plus posts
who assisted in securing attendees and conference speakers and
panelists. In particular, the Department would like to thank
USNATO and USEU for their work in making the event a success.
In paragraph 11, conference attendees are listed with their
titles and contact information to assist posts in identifying
