A number of issues related to assessing LFSO are identified, along with foundational challenges that include an inherently complex operational environment, limited doctrinal guidance, competing visions of stability, untested assumptions, and redundant or excessive reporting requirements. The report offers solutions to these and other challenges, and provides concrete recommendations and implementation-related guidance for designing and conducting assessments of LFSO. The report concludes with an assessment plan for a notional African LFSO scenario that illustrates the practical application of those insights."--"Abstract" on web page.Armed ForcesEvaluationStability operationsIntegrated operations (Military science)EvaluationCivil-military relationsAsymmetric warfareMilitary & Naval ScienceHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCMilitary Science - GeneralHILCCArmed ForcesEvaluationStability operationsIntegrated operations (Military science)EvaluationCivil-military relationsAsymmetric warfareMilitary & Naval ScienceLaw, Politics & GovernmentMilitary Science - GeneralOsburg Jan1243656Rand CorporationUnited StatesArroyo CenterPQKBBOOK9910219972003321Assessing locally focused stability operations2884586UNINA
