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. 606 $aArmed Forces$xEvaluation$xStability operations 606 $aIntegrated operations (Military science)$xEvaluation 606 $aCivil-military relations 606 $aAsymmetric warfare 606 $aMilitary & Naval Science$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aMilitary Science - General$2HILCC 615 0$aArmed Forces$xEvaluation$xStability operations 615 0$aIntegrated operations (Military science)$xEvaluation 615 0$aCivil-military relations 615 0$aAsymmetric warfare 615 7$aMilitary & Naval Science 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aMilitary Science - General 700 $aOsburg$b Jan$01243656 712 02$aRand Corporation 712 02$aUnited States 712 02$aArroyo Center 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219972003321 996 $aAssessing locally focused stability operations$92884586 997 $aUNINA
