This week, Congress will consider the Reconstruction and Stabilization Civilian Management Act (H.R. 1084), a groundbreaking bill that would create a long overdue corps of non-military reconstruction professionals. The corps would consist of agronomists, civilian police, judicial professionals, economists, and other experts. It would offer critical aid to failing states and reduce the burden on our overstretched military in rebuilding nations post-conflict. 

You can watch a video presentation about the need for this corp inside one of our other feature articles entitled: Is DoD's Military Strategy Outdated?
