Why Red Teaming?

The premise of the program at the University of Foreign Military
and Cultural Studies (UFMCS) is that people and organizations
court failure in predictable ways, that they do so by degrees,
almost imperceptibly, and that they do so according to their
mindsets, biases, and experience, which are formed in large part
by their own culture and context. The sources of these failures are
simple, observable, and lamentably, often repeated. They are also
preventable, and that is the point of ‘red teaming’.

Our methods and education involve more than Socratic discussion
and brainstorming. We believe that good decision processes are
essential to good outcomes. To that end, our curriculum is rich in
divergent processes, red teaming tools, and liberating structures,
all aimed at decision support.

We educate people to develop a disposition of curiosity, and help
them become aware of biases and behavior that prevent them
from real positive change in the ways they seek solutions and
engage others.

We borrow techniques, methods, frameworks, concepts, and best
practices from several sources and disciplines to create an
education, and practical applications, that we find to be the best
safeguard against individual and organizational tendencies toward
biases, errors in cognition, and groupthink.

Red teaming is diagnostic, preventative, and corrective; yet it is
neither predictive or a solution. Our goal is to be better prepared
and less surprised in dealing with complexity.

What is Red Teaming?
Red teaming is a function that provides commanders an
independent capability to fully explore alternatives in plans,
operations, concepts, organizations and capabilities in the context
of the operational environment (OE) and from the perspectives of
partners, adversaries and others.


In order for a Red Team to effectively contribute to decision
making all of the following elements are required:

• The ability to think critically about the problem. While this
may seem obvious, the reality is that critical thinking is a skill
set that requires training, education and tools. The Army
assimilates people from different backgrounds across the
nation. One of the drawbacks of that assimilation is our
military tendency to reflect the same biases and
perspectives. We pride ourselves in common values—which
while ingrained in the Army culture are not universal outside
of that culture.

• Thinking critically and challenging the group is an unnatural
act for military staffs. Doing so effectively requires tools and
methods that enable leaders to see different perspectives.

• Red Teams require top cover to be allowed to challenge the
conventional wisdom and the organization’s leaders. No
matter the quality of the Red Team or the methods they
employ, dictatorial or toxic leaders are incompatible with
successful red teaming.

• Red teaming is not easy, and not everyone can do it. Red
Teamers must be effective written and oral communicators.
They must have credibility in the area in which they are
providing red teaming insights. They must be able to
constructively challenge the plan. This means focusing on
what is truly important, able to explain why it is being
challenged and offering some alternative ways to think about
the problem. Constituting a Red Team with those the
organization ‘can afford to give up’ is a sure recipe
