"A valuable contribution. . . clear, well-organized, and accessible."--David Des Roches, Middle East Journal Timely and informative." --Dr. Robert Mogielnicki, Parameters "A convincing analysis of the historical, political, and cultural factors impacting American attempts to assist Middle Eastern states in creating combat-capable military forces and supporting defense institutions." --Jeff Jager, Foreign Area Officer Association Journal of International Affairs "Well-written and impeccably researched, Rebuilding Arab Defense makes an invaluable contribution to scholarship and US policy on security sector assistance." --Daniel L. Byman, Georgetown University "Saab's expertise is truly impressive. He writes with clarity and conviction on a topic whose policy prominence and strategic significance are only going to increase." --Michael Nagata, US Army Lieutenant General (Ret.), former SOCCENT Commander "At a time when the US is looking to reduce its defense commitments in the Middle East, it has become vitally important to find better ways to help our allies there defend themselves. It is for this reason that Bilal Saab's terrific Rebuilding Arab Defense is so important. Saab lays out in clear, straightforward fashion what institutions are required, and how the US and our Arab allies can build them together."--Kenneth M. Pollack, American Enterprise Institute "Bilal Saab has written a sharp and comprehensive analysis of US military assistance programs in the Middle East. His advice is well worth heeding."--Anthony C. Zinni, US Marine Corps General (Ret.), former CENTCOM Commander "An excellent book.... Saab correctly diagnoses the problems of security cooperation on both our end and that of our Arab partners and provides bold yet applicable solutions."--James N. Mattis, US Marine Corps General (Ret.), former US Secretary of Defense "Rebuilding Arab Defense should be mandatory reading for Middle East security scholars and practitioners alike." --Joseph L. Votel, US Army General (Ret.), former CENTCOM Commander After decades of US military assistance in the Middle East--providing expensive weapons systems and conducting military exercises--why are the military capabilities of US allies in the region still lacking? Why does it matter? And what can be done to remedy the status quo? Bilal Saab addresses these vexing questions through a set of in-depth case studies. Identifying the pitfalls of diverse assistance programs, Saab convincingly demonstrates the importance of institution building in efforts to achieve effective security cooperation in a region that remains of great strategic significance.

Security Force Assistance becomes more and more important not only in the post-conflict reconstruction process, but also in a more general way in the foreign policy of the United States. Looking into the experience of both Iraq and Lebanon, this monograph offers useful insights for future military assistance programs and reconstruction efforts. While current assistance programs are certainly of high quality in technical terms, this publication sheds light on the equally important, yet often overlooked social dimension. Elements such as ethnic composition, exclusion of politically compromised personnel, and the armed forces' image in society will determine the military's future success just as much as technical training. How to improve these aspects is explained in this analysis.

The Arab military intervention in Yemen restored trust in the Arab national security system with its Gulf leadership and also revealed the level of Arab world awareness in terms of addressing regional and international shifts independently. Therefore, the effect of this step – regaining lost balance and taking the initiative after years of passivity and defensiveness – goes beyond Yemen to affect the entire region. The lecture concluded that the Saudi-led Arab military intervention to restore legitimacy in Yemen is indeed a historic opportunity—an opportunity that must be harnessed in a way that builds an Arab military force capable of defending Arab security in the face of imminent threats. This is especially important considering the increasing conflicts and competition between several regional and international powers in the Arab world as well as the shifts in Middle East foreign policies of certain major powers, such as the United States of America. These changes highlight the fact that the region needs to rely on itself to defend its interests. The Iran nuclear deal – signed by Iran and major powers in July 2015 – has created a new reality in the region. This is especially the case with regard to Tehran’s relations with international powers, particularly the United States of America. Iran’s position within the policies toward the region and its interests is something that the Arabs must deal with from a position of both strength and initiative.

Arab military cooperation has been, over the past century, mostly a history of failures. Whether the Arab League's Defence Pact or the Middle East Command, ideas for collective security in the region all failed to move beyond the state of declarations. Most of the time, Arab states were either at open war or in cold peace. Since the Arab Spring has toppled not only regimes but also brought insecurity, new momentum has come into regional security. From joint exercises to the announcement of first an Arab and more recently an Islamic military alliance, states begin to move further into cooperation. As this Letort Paper shows, several obstacles will have to be overcome before collective security in the Middle East and North Africa can become a reality.

As the Arab Spring has renewed Western interest in the political, as well as military, role of Arab armed forces, reform¿rather than mere assistance¿is crucial. In this monograph, the author focuses on the structural aspects of reform from which the Arab Spring forces would benefit. Seven features are identified which need to be addressed when attempting Arab military reform in the countries affected by large-scale unrest in 2011: an unclear mandate, over-politicization, a challenging ongoing security situation, limited resources, lack of civilian oversight, pockets of paramilitary activity, and, in parts, as well as the lack of an institutional perception of reform need. Their origins are elaborated as much as recommendations for what outside assistance can achieve.
