Introduction Through a series of multistakeholder analyses, workshops, and technological development projects, Sergeant Palmares will produce reports with recommendations for an improved strategic framework for Support to Civil Administration and other Civil Affairs (CA) and Military Information Support Operations (MISO) functions.
Logistics • Time Frame: 1-2 years • Location: Stanford University and Naval Postgraduate School • OIC/NCOIC: TBD (dependent on ADOS orders) • Funding: TBD (dependent on ADOS orders) • Current Partners: Stanford University and Naval Postgraduate School • Potential Partners: Palantirand Quid
Capabilities Sergeant Charles N. Palmares • 2006: BA Political Science from University of California, Davis • focus on governance and development in the Philippines • 2010: Enlisted in US Army as Civil Affairs Specialist • 2012: Awarded US Army Commendation Medal for supporting JSTOF-P in conducting SMEE on governance and rule of law • 2012: Assistant Training Sergeant to 1005th CA/PO TNG Co • 2013: Researcher Assistant/Project Coordinator at Stanford University
Project Proposal: Analyses Behavioral Analysis in Counterinsurgency • Behavioral analysis of authoritarian regimes and violent non-state actors (e.g. warlords, militias, insurgencies, and terrorist orgs) vis-à-vis COIN • Hypothesis: predicts a significant and positive relationship between a modified model of community-driven development and the reduction in conflict and promotion in development • Methodology: test various models of diplomacy, governance, and rule of law; controlled field experiments and computer simulation
Project Proposal: Analyses Institutional Drivers of Human Development • Analysis of political institutional drivers—namely, capacity, autonomy, and incentive—and their potential relationship with human development (e.g. income, education, and health) • Hypothesis: predicts drivers will have a significant and positive relationship with human development; individually, the drivers will no relationship • Methodology: cross-provincial and regression analysis, Philippines 1997-2009
Tools and Techniques Strategic Communication • Develop framework to utilize “persuasive technologies” to engage key leaders and social movements to facilitate diplomatic relations in non-permissive environments • Project will review literature and test engagement effectiveness in local cities and possibly OEF operations
Tools and Techniques Civil Information Management • Develop framework for geo-spatial analysis which will quantitatively assess and forecast the effectiveness of Support to Civil Administration in conflict mitigation and prevention • Application of Bayesian statistics to a previously developed equation on the size and frequency of attacks in conflict • Project will make recommendations to hardware and software to improve visualization and functionality • Potential Partners: Quid and Palantir
Workshops Direction of State Formation • Top-down and bottom-up state formation Development as a Product of Political and Economic Institutions • Development through reform in governance and markets Authoritarian Regimes and Violent Non-State Actors as Community Stakeholders • Exclusive and inclusive governance processes • Participatory and deliberate democratic processes • Emphasis on authoritarian regimes (e.g. Syria and China) and VNSAs (e.g. warlords, militias, insurgencies, and terrorist organizations)
