The Department of the Navy recently released their Confronting Irregular Challenges Community of Interest (CIC COI) Charter, it can be found here. The Charter is a step forward in implementing the U.S. Navy Vision for Confronting Irregular Challenges and promoting an increased understanding in regards to confronting irregular challenges. The Charter also designates the CIC COI as the authority responsible for the synchronization of CIC-related initiatives within the Navy and its external partners.

Looking at the Director's bio on the Navy site I note "He also earned a Master of Arts degree in Defense and Strategic Studies from the University of Madras, India's Defense Services Staff College in Tamilnadu, India." I can but hope that this means he has a more realistic view of necessity and luxury than the typical writer of requirements in the Pentagon.
