| 结论 |
Common Factors That Affected the Decisions and Outcomes of the Cases Studied- Identify whether a propitious policy window exists.
- Understand and leverage established processes to initiate proposals and pursue objectives.
- A proposal is most likely to succeed if development is rigorous and its substance is externally validated.
- Map stakeholders and incorporate them from the outset to solicit input and encourage buy-in.
- Cultivate networks and advocates at all levels in the stakeholder community.
- Provide subject-matter expertise to Congress and develop relationships with staff through authorized engagements.
- Address bureaucratic rivalry with deliberate strategies that advance whole-of-government synergy and avoid zero-sum outcomes.
- Pursue incremental change as part of a long-range plan.

| 摘要 |
- Develop "plain English" explanations of special operations terminology and narrative. Rather than coin new doctrinal terms, this report recommends using plain language for wide audiences, in particular relying on such readily understandable broad terms as special operations, indigenous and partnered approaches, and precision targeting.
- Further develop the relationship between SOF and the Central Intelligence Agency and reframe the conduct of unconventional warfare (UW). A cooperative approach readily suggests itself, which is that these forces enjoy the greatest success if they combine efforts in the conduct of UW. The historical record also suggests that most often, the President will prefer to authorize a UW mission under Title 50 authorities as a covert operation via a presidential finding.
- Prepare SOF to interact at the policy level. Perhaps the most important single focus of attention for Army SOF, considering the effects it could have for all other SOF activities, would be revisions to its personnel, leader development, and education practices to permit, motivate, and leverage SOF interagency knowledge and experience.
- Emphasize pathways to innovation and excellence. The nature of special operations, with a premium on flexibility of formations and agility in approaches, necessitates not only innovative material solutions but innovative thought leadership.
