between criminal and ideological insurgent groups has led to ineffective mitigation efforts . Countering transnational criminal threats is different from neutralizing a terrorist network or ideological insurgency . The working group examined an existing terrorist / insurgent network using several analytic models to identify the key elements defining the network as an ideological or terrorist insurgency . The deliverables were an analytic model with indicators for differentiating transnational organized criminal and terrorist / insurgent networks , which can be incorporated into a software platform for integration into training modules . A subsequent WG objective was to establish a set of principles for countering / mitigating transnational organized threats .
WG4 : Organizing the Generating Function of Security Force Assistance Institutions : Security and Justice , and the implications for Governance , Social , and Economic Institutions was sponsored by the Joint Center for International Security Force Assistance ( JCISFA ).

The group explored factors and considered the doctrinal , training , and education needs the joint force requires to organize a generating function within a PN security force as part of Security Force Assistance ( SFA ). Deliverables will include an outline of recommendations and force development strategies for integration within doctrine , training , and education . The recommendations and force development strategies will serve to inform Security Force Assistance concept development and DOTM- LPF-P solutions as part of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff ’ s ( CJCS ) Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System ( JCIDS ) and joint force development ( JFD ) process .
