Title: Commander's Emergency Response Program: An Effects Based Approach
Abstract: Abstract : The Commander s Emergency Response Program (CERP) needs to focus on attaining short term counterinsurgency effects and balance that with long term goals. This can be achieved by understanding CERP s impact on the COIN campaign and its impact on Government of Afghanistan s priorities. Requiring commanders and CERP managers to get buy-in with our Afghan partners at the beginning of the process will allow for a smooth transition of government functions back to the Afghans. A training program to help facilitate this process is critical to its success. The process will only work with a whole of government approach, with representatives available at all steps of the process to facilitate better program outcomes. Fixing past errors and providing better oversight and more training focusing on outcomes versus spending will provide the effects we need to be successful.
