4. Created by NGB/CFX Guarding America – Defending Freedom Winning the Long War on TerrorismWho is the enemy? A transnational movement of extremist organizations, networks and individuals who share a common purpose
Primary enemy is al Qa’ida and their associated extremists
Exploits Islam and uses terrorism, to include assassinations and murder as means to accomplish ideological ends – the overthrow and control of moderate nations
Is supported by state and non-state actors – corrupt government officials, criminals and others who forge opportunistic “alliances of convenience”
Exploits civil liberties, large immigrant populations and lenient immigration laws to hide in plain sight
If supported by 1% of the Muslim population, equates to over 13 million dedicated to the extremist cause Key Point – The enemy consists of numerous violent extremists groups (and individuals) who are loosely affiliated in that they have a common purpose.
Slide Purpose – Convey a general description of the nature of the enemy
Other Points;
The followers of Islamic radicalism are bound together by this extreme ideology, not by any centralized command structure. This makes it easy for a loose network to achieve “unity of effort” and difficult for any single military campaign to eradicate the threat, since ideas can’t be eliminated by guns alone.
Other extremist organizations include; Jemaah Islamiya (JI), Anser al-Sunnah, Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, and Pakistan and Kashmiri militant groups
It is a transnational movement … all societies have extremist but in this case they use violence to achieve ideological ends. We do not believe this is a global insurgency – it is a global movement. It does not have a central command and control. It is like beatle mania – a movement
Al Qa’ida’s ideology is of the Sunni sect of the Salafist teaching which believe in the orthodox of Islam taught through the Wahabi schools but what is unique that it believe in Takfirism – those who don’t believe should be eliminated – no matter the background or religion.
Not all Sunni Salafist are our enemy.
What about the Shia – the fact is that before 911, more Americans were killed by Shia extremists than any other. But they have remained on the sideline predominately. But they also have a violent ideology that we must pay attention to.
We say that the extremist exploits Islam and uses terrorism to include assassination and murder as a means to accomplish ideological ends.
We further define terrorism as murder because it resonates with all societies – the unlawful taking of life.
We further define the adversary as state and non-state supporters – some through ideology, some through financial or corruption.

9. Created by NGB/CFX Guarding America – Defending Freedom Recruiting and Retention Challenges
BRAC Actions/Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
Historically, no ANG Long-Term Funding Commitment to Develop/Sustain Viable Recruiting and Retention Program
Competitive recruiting environment
Opportunities
Ongoing in-house review of potential roadblocks in achieving End Strength
Solicitation of “Irritant” issues from the field
Provide a full-time administrative assistant at most flying wings
Provide funding for storefront recruiting offices
Guard Recruiter Assistance Program (GRAP) Uncertainty of missions and manpower requirements adversely affect Recruiting and Retention at enclaved units.
-- 42% of Oct 05-Feb 06 losses were at these locations
Language restricts movement of manpower at 17 units identified to lose force structure
ANG manpower directed to remain in place: 2,763 Full Time and 6,335 Military
Language directs 29 units to robust force structure
The robust manpower bill: 1,714 Full Time and 3,304 Military
Five units identified to lose force structure do not have the manpower restricting language
Results in manpower that can be moved: 449 Full Time and 1,250 Military
The net result is additional ANG manpower required to implement BRAC
If strictly following the language [“by unit”] the bill is: 1,265 Full Time and 2,054 Military
If fixed within eight states that gain and lose the bill is: 737 Full Time and 1,169 Military
Limited Advertising Budget ($5.9M in 2006), relies on Congressional adds or ANG Supplements
Competitive recruiting environment (ARNG 2006 Budget $126.25M)
This is our number 1 Underfunded Priority
Funding in FY08 POM: $26M Advertising ($13M)
$27M Incentives ($20.4M)
$3.0M Storefront Recruiting Offices (Zero)
100 Additional Recruiters (30/60/90) -- “Fairly bleak” prognosis for this effort to date
Ongoing in-house review of potential roadblocks in achieving End Strength
BRAC policy guidance
Training quotas
Force management/development
Manpower resources
Providing a full-time administrative assistant at most flying wings allows recruiters to focus on generating leads and selling the Air National Guard
Funding for storefront recruiting offices brings the Recruiters to the Customer!
10 new leases this FY – (48 total)
Guard Recruiter Assistance Program (GRAP)
Officially hit the 500 mark for GRAP! As of 13 Sep, we have 522 accessions and 2,795 potential airmen in the cue. This program is realling starting to pick up steam as word of it gets out to our people and they start collecting their checks.

21. Created by NGB/CFX Guarding America – Defending Freedom The Way AheadDirector’s Operating Principles ANG is not a separate force
ANG is an equal partner in One Air Force, unique by our State mission
The ANG culture and experience strengthens the Air Force
Integration of ANG Directorate and HAF staffs will result in better decisions for the ANG and the Air Force
State requirements must be addressed in the AF planning and programming processes
Modernization/recapitalization efforts must be proportionately and concurrently resourced with a clear understanding of the OPTEMPO impact
Clear, timely, and open communication must be maintained with HQ USAF, the States, and the NGB joint staff, understanding the need and importance of protocols
22. Created by NGB/CFX Guarding America – Defending Freedom The Way AheadStrategic Ambition… Air Guard is viewed as a valued partner in One Air Force, both operationally and corporately…Reputation for participating and shaping rather than coordinating and responding
Air Guard’s unique attributes (stability, experience, civilian skills, community roots) are effectively leveraged within One Air Force
One Air Force is enhanced through the harmonized efforts of Federal and State leadership
Emerging Air Guard leaders move between federal and state leadership positions seamlessly
Air Guard staff structures effectively and efficiently operate at the federal and state level
Changing organizational constructs maximize the capabilities and culture of the Air National Guard

37. Created by NGB/CFX Guarding America – Defending Freedom Struggle of Ideas Key Point – There is a struggle of ideas within the Muslim world. On one side, extremists believe that violence is the only option available to address the underlying conditions. They believe that the way to regain past glory is only by re-establishing strict Sharia Law over all Muslim populations
Moderates, on the other hand, believe another option exists – peaceful political activism. They believe that the Muslim world is compatible with the west. That plurality, inclusion and tolerance are necessary.
The battle is over the population. Will the Muslim world resort to violence and the return of 14th Century conditions or peaceful political activism and relevancy in the 21st Century?
Briefing Points;
Much of the extremist movement emerged out of the Afghan-Soviet war in the 1980s but has been fueled by larger social, political and ideological trends affecting Muslim populations around the globe for decades. Extremists believe that violence is necessary to defend Islam from perceived aggression and subjugation of the Muslim population.
We must try to define some of the ideologies that reside within Islam – on the far left, for example, we have secular Islam and as you move right we have moderate – mainstream Islam – defined by the principles tolerance, plurality, inclusion. Differences are solved through dialogue. As you move further right, you have an element that are traditionalist – the orthodox of Islam predominate is all aspects of life. On the far right, we have an extremist element of Islam which believes in the principles under the red arrow – Violent Extremists.
Overarching in the struggle is how you deal with globalization and incursion of western culture. How does each side attempt to approach these issues? The moderates approach it from a form of dialogue. They may not accept it but there is room for plurality and discussion. Extremist would say that we must establish and Islamic state such as a Taliban state to stop western incursion and modernity into the Muslim world.
The extremist exploit current global trends such as the information revolution, mass migration and high Muslim birth rates, extremist education, the sensationalism of violence throughout societies, and the incursion of Western culture through globalization to incite hatred throughout Muslim lands.
The side who best resonates with the population will shift the bell curve either to the right or the left. Only if a peaceful option exists, will moderates resonate with the population. If the population perceives no choice but violence to address their grievences, the curve will continue to shift to the right.
Who resonates today with the population? Who has the world stage? Key Point – There is a struggle of ideas within the Muslim world. On one side, extremists believe that violence is the only option available to address the underlying conditions. They believe that the way to regain past glory is only by re-establishing strict Sharia Law over all Muslim populations
