Welcome to the 39th edition of the SOLLIMS
Lessons Learned Sampler – Transitional Public
Security.
This lessons-learned compendium contains just a
small sample – thus the title “Sampler” – of the
observations, insights, and lessons related to
Transitional Public Security available within the
SOLLIMS data repository. Selected lessons may be
shared as ‘food for thought’ among civilian, military
and police practitioners throughout the peace and
stability community, planners, personnel involved
in Stability doctrine, training, leadership and
education, policy, and so on.
Several links in this publication will take you to
specific lessons and resources within SOLLIMS or
to the registration/login page. For those who do
not yet have a SOLLIMS account, please take a
moment to register for one. Then you will be able
to take advantage of the many features of SOLLIMS
and view the various peacekeeping- and stability-
related products referenced in this publication.
We encourage you to take the time to provide us
with your perspective on any given lesson in this
document or on the overall value of the Sampler as
a resource for you and your unit/organization. By
using the “Perspectives” text entry box found at the
end of each lesson in the SOLLIMS database – seen
when you open the lesson in SOLLIMS – you can
enter your own personal comments on the lesson.
We welcome your ideas, and we encourage you to
become a regular contributor to SOLLIMS.
