Today, the U.S. Department of State established a new Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO) to focus on conflict prevention, crisis response, and stabilization activities. The bureau will subsume the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS).

The QDDR provides a blueprint for elevating American "civilian power" to better advance our national interests and to be a better partner to the U.S. military.

• Integrate State’s capabilities through a new Under Secretary for Civilian
Security, Democracy and Human Rights. We will also create a new Bureau for
Crisis and Stabilization Operations to serve as the locus for policy and operational
solutions for crisis, conflict, and instability.
• Strengthen USAID’s conflict and transition work by adding more expertise
in response, recovery and stabilization for the Office of Transition Initiatives, by
training staff in these issues, and by expanding systems and management.
• Help coordinate U.S. crisis response through a new international operational
response framework, which will draw on the capabilities and expertise found
across federal agencies and improve civil-military collaboration.
