text: Unified Land Operations
  * Improving information exchange and intelligence sharing through the collaborative fusion of civil
  and threat information through CKI and CMI.
  * Developing allies and friendly military capabilities for self-defense and multinational operations in
  conjunction with inter-organizational partners.
  * Shaping perceptions and influencing the behavior of adversaries and allies.
  * Increasing situational understanding of the civil component for the commander in exercise of
  command and control.
  PREVENT
  3-9. Prevent operations include all activities to deter an adversary’s undesirable actions and cease
  deterioration of a situation in a manner that is contrary to U.S. interests. These activities are an extension of
  shaping operations. These activities are designed to prevent adversary opportunities to further exploit
  positions of relative advantage by raising the potential costs, to adversaries, of continuing activities that
  threaten U.S. interests.
  3-10. Prevent activities enable the joint force to gain positions of relative advantage prior to potential combat
  operations. Prevent activities are weighted toward actions to protect friendly forces, assets, and partners, and
  to indicate U.S. intent to execute subsequent phases of a planned operation.
  3-11. During operations to prevent, CA forces provide or enable stability and prevention of future conflict
  by supporting Army forces in the performance of the following activities:
  * Developing and executing flexible deterrent options and flexible response options.
  * Enabling the Army to conduct reception, staging, onward movement, and integration; tailor forces;
  and project power through CNDE and CMI.
  * Increasing information collection through CNDE and CKI to provide detection, focus relevant
  collection on named areas of interest, and recognize early warnings and threat indicators to the
  civil component.
  * Building friendly civil networks, influencing neutral civil networks, and degrading threat networks
  in the civil component.
  * Integrating friendly civil networks into operations to—
  Increase governance capacity and capability through TG.
  
  Disrupt threats in the civil component.
  
  Increase freedom of action for U.S. forces.
  
  Create multiple dilemmas to obstruct and disrupt threat actors.
  
  LARGE-SCALE COMBAT OPERATIONS
  3-12. The execution of large-scale combat operations involves the combination of offense, defense, and
  stability operations tasks. Army forces defeat enemy organizations, control terrain, protect populations, and
  preserve joint force and unified action partner freedom of movement as part of the joint team. During large-
  scale combat operations, it is imperative to plan for civil considerations because they are a key piece of every
  operation. CA forces conduct CAO in support of decisive action to enable the following components of large-
  scale combat operations:
  * Situational understanding through CKI to—
  Effect enhanced decision making of the commander.
  
  Enable command and control.
  
  Inform warfighting functions.
  
  * Stability within the civil component, through TG, focused through the five USG stability sectors.
  * Targeting.
  * Reduction of civil interference through TG, CNDE, and CMI.
  * Enablement of freedom of maneuver through TG, CNDE, and CMI.
