| Description |
U.S. Special Operations Forces (USSOF) are frequently tasked to train, equip, advise, assist and accompany foreign partner forces, particularly in weak and failing states. One of the biggest and often overlooked challenges in implementing these USSOF programs is contending with host nation corruption. This thesis aims to explore practical tools to counter corruption in operations overseas. Specifically, it develops the Areas of Corruption Vulnerability (ACV) model to investigate best practices in combatting corruption at critical points in time: the initial agreement with the partner, transition and turnover, human resources management, compensation and benefits, and local procurement. It then uses this model to investigate how the Chevron Corporation and the Research Triangle Institute view and combat host nation corruption in their operations. This research finds that both organizations have deployed a wide array of corruption mitigation tools that are useful to USSOF, including automated auditing, local employee benefits that extend beyond base pay, performance reviews that evaluate quality of turnover, and digital identification paired with mobile money. Subjects: corruption; host nation corruption; Special Operations Forces; Research Triangle Institute; Chevron; building partnership capacity |
