The Civil Affairs Roundtable shifts the CA Corps’ annual force and professional development discussion more to the CA role in integrated deterrence and how to best ready CA forces within the context of new strategic and policy guidance, with the help of senior State and Defense Department leadership by way of the Irregular War Initiative and Army Cyber Institute at West Point. A round-robin of representatives from related institutional stakeholders, including the Civil Affairs Proponent, U.S. Army Civil Affairs & Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), 95th Civil Affairs Brigade (Special Operations) (Airborne), the U.S. Army Peacekeeping & Stability Operations Institute, and others will respond with respect to their own CA force development and mission readiness initiatives. The editors of Warrior Diplomats: Civil Affairs Forces on the Front Lines will also provide perspectives on the new seminal work on CA in the 21st century. Last, as always, will be the open discussion on the next annual theme for the 2023-24 Civil Affairs Issue Papers.
