A foreign security force threat is the potential for violence posed by foreign security forces (FSFs) working with, or granted access to, U.S. Service members, civilians, or contractors. Previously referred to as green-on-blue attacks, persistent limited contingency and stability operations have revealed the vulnerabilities inherent in multi-partner environments. These operations require close integration and partnership with FSFs, thereby increasing the risk that an enemy will exploit this access to attack U.S. forces. These attacks threaten to undermine the cohesion and trust necessary for unified action partners to shape, prevent, and ultimately win in a volatile and complex environment. This threat is not bound by time or geography and, as U.S. forces will continue to work alongside FSFs in future operations, it will likely persist.
