Coalition Warfare: Coordination and Planning Operations, (Paperback)

This paper identifies some of the issues associated with coalition building and coordination and reports on two effective but distinct methods of meeting national requirements in this arena. Originally, the intent was to compare the US Central Command's Coalition Coordination Center (CCC) in Tampa with the Multinational Planning Augmentation Team (MPAT) approach in US Pacific Command's area of operation but a direct comparison was abandoned because these are simply unlike entities. Additionally, the report avoids repeating, at least in detail, the information already in print or available from US Central Command and US Pacific Command.1 There is, however, much to discuss regarding how the two commands are approaching similar problems in dissimilar environments.
