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 Qaida 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

• While we view his beliefs as dangerously
  misguided, the enemy is
• Absolutely committed to his cause
• Fueled by an aggrieved population
• Able to attract recruits with their extremist
  ideology

  Retention Program

The Way AheadDirectors 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
The Way AheadStrategic Ambition
Where I See the Air Guard in Five Years

• Air Guard is viewed as a valued partner in One
  Air Force, both operationally and
  corporatelyReputation for participating and
  shaping rather than coordinating and responding
• Air Guards 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

Struggle of Ideas
The Muslim World
Moderate Influence
Extremist Influence

• Overarching Issues
• Islam and Modernity
• Re-establish dignity and honor from years of
  perceived indifference and injustice

• Violent Extremists
• Global Militant response to Islam is Under
  Attack
• Perceived champions of the opposition
• Re-establish Islamic states under strict Sharia
  Law
• Exploit Global Trends
• Communications
• Demographics
• Extremist Education
• Sensationalism of Violence
• Globalization

• Moderates
• Peaceful Political activism
• Plurality, Inclusion, Tolerance
• Seek alternative peaceful resolution

the West is being drawn into the clash of two
competing ideologies within the Islamic world.
Proponents of the first believe that Islam is
compatible with secular democracy and basic civil
liberties. Proponents of the second are
committed to replacing the current world order
with a new caliphate -- that is, a global Islamic
state. They are the ones who seek to trigger a
true clash of civilizations, partly in order to
force the more moderate Muslims to choose their
interpretation of Islam. Zeyno Baran, Fighting
the War of Ideas, Foreign Affairs, Dec 05
Does political activism or violent militancy
resonate? Who are the extremists?
38
National Strategy for the GWOT
The aftermath of the collapse of American power
in Vietnam and how they ran and left their
agents is noteworthy. - al-Zawahiri to
al-Zarqawi

• Strategic Aims
• Defeat violent extremism as a threat to our way
  of life as a free and open society, and
• Create a global environment inhospitable to
  violent extremists and all who support them

Ends
Support mainstream Muslim efforts to reject
violent extremism
Protect and defend the Homeland and U.S.
interests abroad
Attack terrorists and their capacity to operate
effectively at home and abroad

Winning the Long War--Conclusion

• The Muslim population is key perceived
  grievances provide inroads for violent extremists
• Our enemy is not 10 feet tall we know his
  strategy, his weaknesses and vulnerabilities
• The United States strategy addresses the
  essential elements for success
• Success requires perseverance
• Reverse grievances in the Muslim World
• Discredit violent extremist ideology
• Build partner nation capacity

We must defeat the enemys strategy, not only his
forces
