Recent experiences in the Global War on Terrorism in both Iraq and Afghanistan clearly demonstrate that there is a large role to be played by the interagency process. In all phases of operations there is much to be gained by interagency cooperation, which is defined as the coordination that occurs among elements of the Department of Defense (DoD) and engaged U.S. Government (USG) agencies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and regional international organizations (IOs) for the purpose of accomplishing an objective. Senior leaders can either foster or impede strong interagency cooperation and can therefore either have a positive or negative effect on achieving U.S. Government objectives. This essay examines the role of Senior Leaders in fostering interagency cooperation, and discusses how they can maximize the potential for achieving USG objectives.
