SECTION I
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
1. OBJECTIVE. To understand internal defense and development
policies, operations, roles, and capabilities.
2. SCOPE. Phase II, Military Strategy Seminar, is conducted to
include:
a. Evaluation of the insurgent threat in the 1970's.
b. Examination of US internal defense and development policies
and issues.
c. Examination of the military role and capabilities in internal
defense and development.
d. Evaluation of Vietnam experience as a basis for future
internal defense and development operations.
e. Examination of the Security Assistance Program as an in-
strument of internal defense and development.
f. Examination of US operations in support of indigenous
governments.
g. Analysis of selected developing countries to place the
insurgent threat, indigenous internal defense and development operations,
and US responses in a real world context.
3. CURRICULUM RELATIONSHIP. Phase II, Military Strategy Seminar,
builds on Phase I and previous courses to provide a basis for examining
options in the use of military resources--host country, US, and third
country--to promote order and progress in selected developing nations. In
so doing, this phase makes use of the fundamentals of military strategy
and insurgent war covered in the earlier phase and the knowledge gained
in Course 1 (formulation-and conduct of US policy), Course 2 (the causes
and debilitating effects of insurgency in the portions of the world con-
fronted by rapid change, instability, or violence), and Course 3 (DOD
management of security assistance). Phase II contributes directly to
Course 4 (US military strategic concepts, capabilities, assessments, and
appraisals), Course 5 (major force alternative and long range trends),
and Course 6 (key international issues and alternative solutions which
may generate or impact on US operations to assist other nations in pre-
venting, neutralizing, or destroying insurgency).

Office of the Commandant
Dear Doctor Cunningham:
Each year as part of its course on "Internal Defense and Development,"
the US Army War College has sought to examine in depth the internal
security problems in a number of selected countries. This has taken
the form of a panel presentation by knowledgeable US Government experts
familiar with the problems of the particular country, followed by ex-
tended question periods during which members of the Army War College
Class may direct specific inquiries to the panel members.
For this academic year, we are trying to assemble small country teams for
Brazil, Guatemala, Ethiopia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Thus far we
have made arrangements for representatives from the State Department,
Department of Defense, and US Agency for International Development, and
to complete our panels, we would like to obtain representation from your
agency for each of the above selected countries.
The panel session is scheduled to take place at the Army War College on
Tuesday, 8 February 1972, and the objective, scope, and schedule for
the panel are as shown in the inclosure. Additional information can be
obtained from your point of contact, Colonel Charles M. Simpson, at 717-
245-3030 or 245-3040.
We would be grateful if your agency could provide representatives for
each of our panels because this would provide greater depth and dimension
to our studies.
Sincerely,
1 Incl FRANKLIN M. DAVIS, JR.
