  SECTION III – ARMY STABILITY OPERATIONS TASKS
  6-48. Army stability operations tasks are fundamental and are performed across the range of military
  operations, from stable peace to general war. Military forces execute Army stability operations tasks before,
  during, or after conflict to support a legitimate host-nation government, to assist a fragile state, or in the
  absence of a functioning civil authority. Each situation is unique. Each Army stability task and stability sector
  contains a number of related subordinate tasks.
  RECONNAISSANCE AND SECURITY STABILITY TASKS
  6-49. BCTs conduct stability tasks to create conditions the local population regards as legitimate, acceptable,
  and predictable (see ADP 3-07). BCTs conduct continuous reconnaissance operations during stability tasks
  to develop information requirements, gain situational understanding of their area of operations, identify
  sources of conflict and instability, and identify opportunities to consolidate sustainable and positive gains.
  Reconnaissance and security operations assist the commander and staff with determining short-term impacts
  and long-term effects on their area of operations. Commanders then assess the effectiveness of their actions
  and adjust as needed.
  6-50. BCT commanders consider each primary stability task and associated subtasks within the context of
  their particular area of operations (see figure 6-1). They also consider the perception of the local population
  and host-nation governance and security forces. The six Army primary stability operations tasks are—
  * Establish civil security.
  * Support to civil control.
  * Restore essential services.
  * Support to governance.
  * Support to economic and infrastructure development.
  * Conduct security cooperation.
