To help ensure that limited security cooperation resources are properly directed for greatest effect, the U.S. Department of Defense has highlighted the need to develop security cooperation objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and results-oriented, and time-bound (SMART). The SMART concept has been used for several decades in the private sector to develop objectives that facilitate assessment, monitoring, and evaluation. This report evaluates DoD's effectiveness in developing SMART security cooperation objectives. It also proposes a systematic approach to developing security cooperation objectives for use by policymakers, planners, program managers, and resource managers. The authors present a detailed evaluation of the extent to which the security cooperation objectives used by U.S. European Command, U.S. Pacific Command, and U.S. Southern Command meet the SMART criteria, and they recommend changes to improve DoD security cooperation guidance and planning"--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 117-118). 505 0 $a Why aren't SMART objectives enough? -- PACOM findings -- EUCOM findings -- SOUTHCOM findings -- Findings and recommendations. 610 10 $a United States. $b Department of Defense $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 610 10 $a United States. $b Pacific Command $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 610 10 $a United States. $b European Command $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 610 10 $a United States. $b Southern Command $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a National security $x Evaluation. $x Planning $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Military planning $z United States $x Evaluation. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. $b National Security Research Division. 710 1 $a United States. $b Office of the Secretary of Defense, $b Office of the Secretary of Defense, $e sponsoring body. 830 0 $a Research report (Rand Corporation) ; $v RR-1430-OSD. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160805013553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6708B9085AD211E6A2123B88DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
