The past decade of operations has taught us that in order to more effectively respond to complex international crises, it is necessary for civil, military and police actors to understand each other and work together in a comprehensive manner. Achieving this multiagency effect requires preparation. Civil, military and police personnel have different approaches to planning, have different organisational cultures, and speak different languages. To address the challenges, staff must understand these differences and work to find common ground.
