African Feedback on APS ‘08:
liked the concept –asked for more of the same
PLUS:
More African involvement in planning and execution Longer time in port, even if that means fewer ports Greater inland reach – not just the ports More international and interagency involvement
Concept Off to a Successful Start . . .

Broadening the ocean/coastal maritime security focus of APS
– Building military skill sets in riverine & coastal area infantry operations – Practicing inter-service communication/planning procedures to expand maritime security capabilities inland – Providing practical exercise opportunities beyond class room instruction
Class room instruction building to field exercises
– – – – Instruction focused on practical knowledge needed in field environment Subject matter geared for application to all service branches Host nations requested as much practical application of class room instruction as possible Host nations requested instruction relevant to international peace support operations

UNCLASSIFIED
Staff feedback
Workshops and Seminars
• • • Topics need to be tailored to country specific needs – Coordinate course content well prior to country arrival – one size doesn’t fit all Include “train-the trainer” programs – Better approach to supporting sustainable training efforts Interest in African training teams – leverage local expertise • Pre-schedule practical exercises – look for opportunities to merge land and maritime engagements
Staff Structure
• Identify staff early to allow for better communication and planning continuity – Involve in planning conferences; develop pre-execution staff sooner • Staff size: balance breadth of the staff with meaningful jobs
Communications
• • Early and continuous dialogue with partner nations is critical Integrate across maritime and expeditionary sectors • • Electronic information sharing btwn USG and non-USG staff must be streamlined Reliable high-bandwidth off-ship comms is crucial
Continuity
• Flexibility to respond to specific partner nation requests is limited by our capacity • • Persistent presence challenges resources – ships, aircraft, training teams, country teams, etc. Consider south-to-north scheme of maneuver for 2010
UNCLASSIFIED
Commander’s Comments Global Maritime Partnerships require effort to cultivate….
Partner Feedback
- Relationships matter – you can’t surge trust - Looking for long-term commitment to APS - Desire to develop self-sustainability - Consistency in contacts is important - Consistency of program is important - Longer visits in fewer places is well received - Marine training well received; good complement to other MSS activities
Observations
- Consistent personal presence is needed to truly forge and sustain relationships - MSS challenges
are
recognized by partner nation Navies - Training only goes so far – the right hardware
is
important - Infrastructure needs additional focus – Navy limited in what it can provide “Development Advisor” activities critical to bridging civil-military gaps DoS “Policy Advisors” add perspective
