Interagency Accord Commission
 

The Interagency Accord Commission (IAC) is a U.S.-led coordination and governance framework designed to integrate diplomatic, defense, intelligence, regulatory, and enforcement authorities across complex and evolving operational domains. Established to address modern security, compliance, and governance challenges that exceed the scope of any single agency, the IAC functions as a unifying mechanism—aligning interagency efforts under existing statutory authorities while preserving accountability, oversight, and the rule of law.

 

Operating through a centralized executive structure supported by interagency liaisons, legal counsel, and oversight mechanisms, the IAC enables rapid coordination, lawful tasking, and strategic deconfliction among participating entities. Its operational posture emphasizes precision, proportionality, and legality, ensuring that activities ranging from policy coordination to enforcement actions are conducted with appropriate approvals, transparency, and institutional checks. The Commission is structured to support both standing interagency coordination and mission-specific tasking, allowing it to adapt to emerging threats, regulatory gaps, and cross-domain challenges.

 

The IAC’s mandate extends beyond immediate response. It is designed as a durable governance framework—capable of integrating future capabilities, technologies, and domains of operation without requiring constant reinvention of institutional authority. While its present-day focus remains terrestrial and interagency, the Commission’s doctrine anticipates future environments, including space and post-terrestrial domains, where continuity of governance, security, and legal order will be essential. Planning for these environments occurs deliberately and responsibly, ensuring alignment with national policy, international norms, and democratic oversight.

 

At its core, the Interagency Accord Commission exists to ensure that complex operations do not outpace governance. By harmonizing interagency authorities, embedding legal and ethical review, and maintaining clear lines of accountability, the IAC provides a foundation for coordinated action today while responsibly preparing for the operational realities of tomorrow.
