It is a corporation in which experts of different fields of science write analytical works devoted to that or other problem. RAND has strong authority in the USA. Many works on Vietnam were done by the state order of the USA (from the Ministry of Defense), including Robert Komer’s works (conducted by the request of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at the U.S. Department of Defense). It is the research of this expert that is discussed in this paper. The paper looks at the biography of Robert Komer in the context from the conflict in Vietnam to cooperation with the RAND Corporation. In Vietnam, on the personal instructions of the US President Lyndon Johnson, Komer was the head of the program of «appeasement» or officially: the program of «Civil Operations and Revolutionary Development Support» (CORDS). Having completed his activities in Vietnam, Komer shared his experience and knowledge in reports for the RAND Corporation. His works are addressed to the problems of the counterpartisan war. The paper describes the work of Robert Komer in the framework of the RAND Corporation. In conclusion, the relevance is emphasized. Due to the events such as the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, Komer’s activities in the implementation of the CORDS program in Vietnam have gained increased interest from many modern experts.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>РЭНД - «фабрика мысли» в США. Корпорация, в которой специалисты разных областей науки пишут аналитические работы, посвящённые той или иной проблеме. РЭНД имеет большой авторитет в США. Многие работы по Вьетнаму делались по государственному заказу США (от Министерства обороны), в том числе работы Роберта Комера - именно об исследованиях этого специалиста, проведённых по заказу Агентства перспективных исследований при Министерстве обороны США, и пойдёт речь. В статье просматривается биография Роберта Комера в контексте от конфликта во Вьетнаме до сотрудничества с корпорацией РЭНД. Во Вьетнаме, по личному указанию президента США Линдона Джонсона, Комер являлся руководителем «программы умиротворения», или официально: «программы поддержки гражданских операций и развития сельских районов». Завершив свою деятельность во Вьетнаме, Комер поделился накопленным опытом и знаниями в докладах для корпорации РЭНД. Работы его обращены к проблемам контрпартизанской войны. В статье даются характеристики работам Роберта Комера в рамках корпорации РЭНД. В заключение подчёркивается актуальность исследуемой темы. Из-за таких событий, как вторжение США в Афганистан и Ирак, деятельность Комера по реализации программы «CORDS» во Вьетнаме приобрела повышенный интерес у многих современных экспертов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>RAND Corporation</kwd><kwd>Robert Komer</kwd><kwd>CIA</kwd><kwd>Vietnam War</kwd><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>Lyndon Johnson</kwd><kwd>counterinsurgency</kwd><kwd>asymmetrical war</kwd><kwd>McGeorge Bundy</kwd><kwd>Vietcong</kwd><kwd>South Vietnam</kwd><kwd>Robert McNamara</kwd><kwd>program of «appeasement»</kwd><kwd>Pentagon</kwd><kwd>National Security Council</kwd><kwd>United States Department of Defense</kwd><kwd>Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>корпорация РЭНД</kwd><kwd>Роберт Комер</kwd><kwd>ЦРУ</kwd><kwd>война во Вьетнаме</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>Линдон Джонсон</kwd><kwd>контрпартизанская война</kwd><kwd>асимметричная война</kwd><kwd>Макджордж Банди</kwd><kwd>Вьетконг</kwd><kwd>Южный Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>Роберт Макнамара</kwd><kwd>«программа умиротворения»</kwd><kwd>Пентагон</kwd><kwd>Совет по национальной безопасности</kwd><kwd>Министерство обороны США</kwd><kwd>Агентство перспективных исследований</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Mai E.
