 Well, thank you to USIP. Thank you, Nancy. Thank you, Joe, for convening this important event with experts from across the peace building and development communities within the US government to inform our 3D efforts as we implement the Global Fragility Act. It's always good to be with our partners from state and USAID, and we greatly appreciate the insightful remarks from Deputy Secretary Began and Acting Administrator Barsa. I also know there are many participants on the line from DOD, from OSD Policy, and the joint staff who are very much looking forward to contributing to the conversation today. The passage of the Global Fragility Act is another important milestone since the Stabilization Assistance Review was approved in 2018. The GFA brings the interagency together to devise a strategy and implement policy in areas of strategic importance to the United States. Addressing fragility and preventing conflict are crucial elements of national security. They foster host nation resiliency that works to prevent malign actors from exploiting them as we've seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. This event is being held at a critical time. Fragile states are being tested due to COVID-19 and are increasingly susceptible to instability with crises of leadership, overwhelmed public services, and economic fallout. For the COVID response, DOD is working with the interagency to provide allies and partners with life-saving humanitarian supplies and, most importantly, with capacity-building assistance such as COVID-19 treatment centers, lab supports, and testing and diagnostic centers. Thus far, DOD has authorized nearly $40 million in assistance. Many of our allies and partners are struggling with this pandemic, and if there is an absence of strong global leadership, they will turn to our competitors for the assistance they so desperately need. The COVID-19 reality has made two things clear. First, in responding, the U.S. government must be unified. Second, the United States cannot do this alone. A coordinated global response with support from civil society to our allies and partners is critical. The pandemic highlights the importance of resiliency, especially good governance, to ensure comprehensive data and quality interventions. As we have seen with China, restricting information and offering flawed equipment has had a devastating consequence for both the people of China and for the global community. Applying the stabilization review framework to how we organize and understand where the U.S. government can bolster our allies and partners must be taken into account as we develop the global fragility strategy. One of DOD's tools to support the global fragility strategy is our new interagency support authority, Section 1210-ALFA, Defense Support to Stabilization, which allows the department to provide logistic support, supplies, and services to other federal agencies conducting stabilization. For example, in Northeast Syria, 1210-ALFA authorities can be used to further support interagency efforts carried out by the Syria Transition Assistance Response Team Forward or Start Forward. DOD has previously supported the Start Forward team with transportation and housing that enabled local governance experts with access throughout Northeast Syria so they could more effectively advise city councils as they brought essential services back to their communities. In Somalia, we're already fielding requests that would support state and USAID efforts to engage local leaders. These in-person meetings can be critical to our continued efforts to be the partner of choice in key locations like Somalia. DOD has many tools to respond to fragility and help prevent conflict, security cooperation, education, training, and exercises, civil affairs, advising on women, peace, and security, and atrocity prevention, supportive peacekeeping, counter-narcotics, and nonproliferation, just to name a few. These activities help build relationships and strengthen institutions that increase host nation resilience. Another important tool is the collaboration brought by State Department, USAID, and other interagency partners assigned to our combatant commands where a lot of fragility and prevention planning occurs. And our co-coms will then work in concert with embassy country teams on implementation. In closing, we here at DOD look forward to hearing from the vast array of experts who are participating in this forum as we work together to support fragile states. Thank you so much.
