Brigadier Chris Stockel comes on One CA to discuss his experience integrating Civil Affairs and Security Cooperation to improve how forces work with partner nations.

BG Stockel held various command positions within the Infantry, special forces, and Civil Affairs.

His last position was as the Commanding General of the 351 Civil Affairs Command out of Mountain View, California.

In that position, he was also the senior civil affairs advisor for INDOPACOM, which included synchronizing almost all CA forces within the region.

BG Stockel worked various leadership positions outside the Reserves, including a tour with the State Department Counter-Terrorism Bureau.

Additionally, he spoke at the Council on Foreign Relations in China and testified before Congress to the House Committee on State and Foreign Operations about Iraq.

He also is the current Vice President of the Civil Affairs Association - a proud sponsor of this show.

104. Benjamin Ordiway and Anthony Pfaff

“Special operators may be professionals of a sort. However, until special operations designate a jurisdiction over which it has the autonomy to exercise judgment, the organization is better characterized as a bureaucracy that manages a highly skilled force.” 

Host Benjamin Ordiway in conversation with professor C. Anthony Pfaff, Ph.D. of the Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute, to discuss his recent article in Parameters, “Professionalizing Special Operations Forces.”

We also talk a little about my ongoing work on coaching moral reasoning & ethical decision-making in field-training environments. This work is sponsored by the 1st Special Forces Command.

Benjamin Ordiway, former 92 CA and now a philosophy instructor at US military academy, interviews Dr. C. Anthony Pfaff (Colonel, U.S. Army, Ret.), who is currently the research professor for Strategy, the Military Profession and Ethics at the Strategic Studies Institute and a Senior Non-Resident Fellow at the Atlantic Council. 

Dr. Pfaff has published "Proxy War Ethics" by the Journal of National Security Law and Policy, Military Ethics below the Threshold of War, in Parameters (Vol 50, No. 3), "The Ethics of Acquiring Disruptive Military Technologies," in the Texas National Security Review (Vol. 3, No. 1), "Western and Chinese Ways of War and their Ethics," in Parameters (Vol. 52, No. 1), "The Future of US-Iraq Relations," by the Atlantic Council.

103. Nick Krohley and Lt Col Stefan Muehlich on Doctrinal Comparison, Part 2

Nicholas Krohley, Ph.D., and Lieutenant Colonel Stefan Muehlich discuss their study of US civil affairs and NATO CIMIC doctrine.

Commissioned by the NATO CIMIC Centre of Excellence, the document compares and contrasts the two capabilities’ doctrinal tasking and highlights shared challenges.

The CIMIC doctrine also charts a potential path forward, through which civil affairs and CIMIC might make an evidence-based case to the forces they support for the value of their outputs and their worthiness for better integration and resourcing.

Dr. Krohley is the founder of FrontLine Advisory and proprietor of www.civilreconnaissance.com. Lieutenant Colonel Stefan Muehlich is the branch chief of Concepts, Interoperability, and Capabilities at the NATO-accredited Civil-Military Cooperation Centre of Excellence.
