  may involve establishing civil security or control, or reverting to offensive or defensive operations. Offensive
  and defensive operations may be necessary to defeat enemies that oppose a stability operation.
  Army forces work with and through host-nation authorities in cases where the host nation can meet
  most or all of the population's requirements. Army forces operating in a failed state may need to work with
  civilian organizations to restore capabilities to support the local population.
  Stability operations are inherently complex and place great demands on small units. SHORAD leaders
  must develop interpersonal skills, such as cultural awareness, negotiating techniques, and learn critical
  language phrases, while maintaining warfighting skills.
  SHORAD support to stability tasks is identical to that in conducting offensive and defensive tasks.
  While each stability task is different, air defense coordination, planning, and execution to meet the mission
  requirements of the maneuver commander remain the same. The ability of SHORAD commanders to stabilize
  a crisis is directly related to their perceived ability to defend the supported force and civilian critical assets,
  as necessary.
