Provincial reconstruction teams (PRTs) were established as a result of the need to develop the infrastructure necessary for the Afghan and Iraqi people to succeed in a post-conflict environment. The efforts of PRTs take place every day during a time when major conflict is commonplace in both countries. PRTs have become an integral part of the long-term strategy to transition the lines of security, governance, and economics to the indigenous people. Integrated appropriately, PRTs serve as combat multipliers for maneuver commanders engaged in governance and economics, as well as other critical lines of operation. In addition, PRTs serve as force multipliers for U.S. Government (USG) development agencies engaged across the stability and reconstruction sectors.This playbook focuses on PRTs in general, with additional information specific to Iraq and Afghanistan. The information contained in this playbook comes from multiple sources inside and outside the USG with the understanding that the manner in which PRTs operate is likely to change over time.The intent of this publication is to share knowledge, support discussion, and impart lessons and information in an expeditious manner. This Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) publication is not a doctrinal product. The information provided in this publication is written by USG employees for those individuals who will serve in a stability and reconstruction environment.

Since the fall of the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, United States, Coalition, and North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces have been conducting stability and reconstruction operations throughout Afghanistan. One of the U.S. government's strategies for establishing an environment that is sufficiently stable to facilitate reconstruction, development, and growth was the creation and stationing of Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRT) throughout Afghanistan. These joint, inter-agency and multi-national (JIM) teams comprised of military, governmental and host-nation personnel which have been operating for over two years have become the focal point for much debate between International Organizations (IOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the military regarding civil-military cooperation in post-conflict scenarios. Among the concerns that repeatedly arise are security, the proper role of the military in providing assistance, information sharing, coordination and the preservation of "humanitarian space" upon which IOs and NGOs rely to perform their tasks. This project will focus on the effect that the PRTs have had on these pivotal concerns and contrast the different perspectives from which international civilian assistance providers and military actors view these issues. This research project concludes with specific recommendations for the PRTs, as well as a general set of suggestions for enhancing the relationship between military forces and civilian assistance providers simultaneously operating in close proximity to one another.
