  Considerations for Leader Security
  7-67. At least one person should be ready to provide close-in, direct physical protection for the leader.
  However, this should not interfere with the leader’s mission accomplishment, should not irritate to other
  participants, and should not include behavior that could be seen as a threat. Planning must also determine
  any restrictions on people approaching the protected leader, and should restrict the circulation of people
  around the leader. If armed at all, the leader should carry a sidearm. This leaves the leader's hands free
  to react to close-in threats. Security personnel should take positions where they can observe everything
  and everyone near the leader.
  Considerations for Meeting Security
  7-68. Before a meeting, crowd-control measures should be planned and prepared, even if crowds are not
  expected. Evacuation routes and EOF procedures should be planned for key personnel. Planning for outer
  security should include coverage of inner and outer cordons.
  • The inner cordon protects the meeting participants, controls access to the meeting, and controls
  the immediate crowd.
  • The outer cordon isolates and controls access to the meeting. This cordon may be close in
  and visible or out of sight of the actual meeting, focusing on outside elements trying to gain
  access.
  7-69. If available, use special units or weapons such as snipers and shotguns or nonlethal weapons. Use
  at least one interpreter (two are preferred). One actively interprets while the other observes body language
  and listens to side conversations in the audience. All of these steps should be rehearsed before execution.
  7-70. A typical technique for conducting a meeting includes reconnoitering the meeting site and also
  conducting a pre-site clearance before the meeting. Forces also establish outer and inner cordons, secure
  the meeting, collapse both cordons, and then conduct an orderly movement back to their base or combat
  outpost. All of these actions should be rehearsed extensively prior to execution.
  RESTORE ESSENTIAL SERVICES
  7-71. Army forces establish or restore the most basic services and protect them until a civil authority or
  the Host Nation can provide them. Here, the counterinsurgent force works toward meeting the population’s
  basic needs. Ideally, the military is simply providing the security for the humanitarian assistance.
  Normally, Army forces support other government, intergovernmental, and Host Nation agencies. When the
  Host Nation or other agency cannot perform its role, Army forces may provide the basics directly
  (FM 3-0). Tactical units focus primarily on addressing the immediate needs of a population and fostering
  Host Nation efforts at restoring essential services. However, in the absence of Host Nation capability,
  military forces may directly perform these tasks as the Host Nation develops the ability to do them on its
  own. Tactical units will generally provide for the basic needs of the population, such as food, water,
  shelter, and basic medical care. Should other agencies be present, close coordination between military
  forces and those agencies will become paramount. (See FM 3-07 for technique considerations.)
  SUBORDINATE TASKS
  7-72. Typical subordinate tasks to restore essential services follow:
  • Provide essential civil services.
  • Tasks related to civilian dislocation.
  • Support famine prevention and emergency food relief programs.
  • Support public health programs.
  • Support education programs.
  Provide Essential Civil Services
  7-73. Although closely related to establishing and supporting effective local governance, efforts
  to provide essential civil services to the HN population involve developing the capacity to operate,
