7th international lessons learned conference program

Dear Colleague: On behalf of the Center for Complex Operations (CCO), I would like to welcome you to the National Defense University and to the 7th International Lessons Learned Conference (ILLC) titled: For Practitioners and Policy Makers: Sharing Lessons on the Conduct and Design of Stability Operations. We are delighted that you are joining us for this important event.

As you will see from the agenda in this booklet, we have assembled a group of distinguished keynote speakers and expert panelists. We hope that the sessions will spark productive discussions. It is our hope that the conference will afford the opportunity to meet new colleagues and build partnerships for sharing lessons on the important issues at hand.

The objectives of the conference are to:

Identify lessons and develop guidelines for the conduct and design of stability operations in conflict environments in the following areas: Political transitions; Local security; Population-focused intelligence; and Economic engagement

Identify lessons and guidelines for the conduct of disaster relief and humanitarian crises; Assess planning and training practices for stability operations with a view toward identifying best practices in

promoting civil-military integration, international collaboration, and public-private partnerships; and Share methods and tools for the identification and dissemination of lessons, and discuss ways to improve

integration of lessons into doctrine, training, and policy.

After the conference is over, we will produce a conference report that we will send to you. We hope you find it useful and that it can help, to quote the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “make sure we actually learn the lessons of the last decade of war and correctly apply them to future conflicts.”

If you require any assistance during the meeting, please find any member of our staff. We look forward to your participation and hope you will enjoy the conference.

Sincerely,

Ambassador (ret.) John E. Herbst Director Center for Complex Operations National Defense University

Roger Myerson is the Glen A. Lloyd Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. Professor Myerson has made seminal contributions to the fields of economics and political science. In game theory, he introduced refinements of Nash's equilibrium concept, and he developed techniques to characterize the effects of communication when individuals have different information. His analysis of incentive constraints in economic communication introduced some of the fundamental ideas in mechanism design theory, including the revelation principle and the revenue-equivalence theorem in auctions and bargaining. Professor Myerson has also applied game-theoretic tools to political science, analyzing how political incentives can be affected by different electoral systems and constitutional structures. Myerson is the author of Game Theory: Analysis of Conflict (1991) and Probability Models for Economic Decisions (2005). He also has published numerous articles in Econometrica, the Journal of Economic Theory, Games and Decisions, and the International Journal of Game Theory, for which he served as an editorial board member for 10 years. Professor Myerson has a PhD from Harvard University and taught for 25 years in the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University before coming to the University of Chicago in 2001. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the National Academy of Sciences. In 2007, he was awarded the 2007 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in recognition of his contributions to mechanism design theory.

identify gaps in the training and education of military and civilian governmental personnel relating to complex

operations, and facilitate efforts to fill such gaps. CCO is comprised of permanent representatives from the
