CSI expects it to include the following panels and topics:
- Non-State Actors and their impact on strategic communications
and Information Operations.
- Law of War and Military Doctrine dealing with Non-State Actors.
- The military's role in conflict termination and securing the
political end state especially if one or more combatants is a
Non-State Actor (e.g. Hezbollah, IRA, FARC, FMLN, al Qaeda).
- The armed forces as part of the interagency process.
- Military operations with International Government Organizations
and Non-Governmental Organizations.
- Tactics of militaries and rogue organizations or Non-State
Actors on the battlefield.
