  JOINT TASK FORCE
  5-12. Just as in the military decision-making process, CA Soldiers on the J-9 staff provide the commander with
  an analysis of the civil components that shape the OE during the joint planning process. While not all geographic
  combatant commands have this staff section organic to their joint manning document, CA has the capability to
  provide persistent or episodic planning elements to assist any level JFC with integrating CMO into plans.
  5-13. Civil considerations are evaluated for those aspects of the OE that directly affect a mission. The CMO
  staff provides the commander with detailed civil considerations analysis focused on the civil component of the
  AO. CMO planners further develop and implement their plans in conjunction with civilian officials from other
  USG agencies and other nonmilitary organizations in order to synchronize U.S. and multinational efforts. The
  J-9 responsibilities include, but are not limited to—
  * Determining if there is a requirement for a CMOC to maintain liaison with unified action partners,
  IPI, interagency, NGOs, and international organizations in the AO.
  * Advising the JFC and staff on legal and moral considerations as they pertain to the civil
  component.
  * Participating in the targeting process.

  * Participating in required boards, cells, and working groups, as required.
  * Maintaining the CMO staff estimate.

  Note: JP 5-0 provides the doctrinal discussion, process, and formats for joint planning.
