DIMEFIL (Diplomatic, Informational, Military, Economic, financial, intelligence, And legal/law enforcement) Paper directions: The military is but one instrument of national power employed by civilian leaders to achieve the objectives of the US National Security Strategy. Even though the military may be the primary instrument of national power during warfighting, the other elements are not excluded; in fact, they continue to be essential instruments in the strategy of conducting a war. With this assignment, we will look at DIMEFIL in the context of Great Power Competition (GPC). For your Elements of National Power paper, you will discuss an emerging threat posed by Russia or China in one of the Geographical Combatant Commands (GCC) such as NORTHCOM, CENTCOM, INDOPACOM, AFRICOM, EUCOM, or SOUTHCOM. Next, discuss how the US Government is using all the elements of DIMEFIL together to resolve the issue (since this is a research paper, please only use open-source material of what the US is currently doing, or has recently done using the instruments of national power in a whole-of-government approach). Finally, since the US is concentrating efforts in the GCC you are writing about, look at what resources are being pulled from a different GCC to make this happen and discuss it as “How this affects a different GCC.” 750-1250 words. Please provide a couple of sentences or main points of discussion for each bullet point. Introduction (Subject/Thesis Statement/Structure) Main Point #1 (Diplomatic, Information, Military) Main Point #2 (Economic, Financial) Main Point #3 (Intelligence Law Enforcement) How this affects a different GCC Conclusion Reference page with a minimum of four (4) references formatted in APA 7th edition In keeping with the theme of passing clear information up the chain of command, the key message of your paper can be lost if there are numerous spelling and grammatical errors.
