  Unified Action
  Commitment to interorganizational cooperation can facilitate cooperation in areas of
  common interest, promote a common operational picture, and enable sharing of critical
  information and resources.
  JP 3-08, Interorganizational Cooperation
  Unified action is the synchronization, coordination, and/or integration of the activities of
  governmental and nongovernmental entities with military operations to achieve unity of
  effort (JP 1). Unity of effort is coordination and cooperation toward common objectives,
  even if the participants are not necessarily part of the same command or organization,
  which is the product of successful unified action (JP 1). Unified action partners are those
  military forces, governmental organizations and NGOs, and elements of the private
  sector with which Army forces plan, coordinate, synchronize, and integrate during the
  conduct of operations. Military forces play a key role in unified action before, during,
  and after operations.
  OVERVIEW
  5-1. CA plays an integral role in the coordination of military actions with unified action partners. CA forces
  can provide for better local governance (thereby, relieving commanders of the burden of civil security and civil
  control), develop networks, share information with interagency and interorganizational partners, and integrate
  civilian and military actions. CA forces contribute to unified actions through integration, coordination, and
  synchronization with interorganizational partners, joint forces, and interagency partners.
  INTERORGANIZATIONAL COOPERATION
  5-2. Interorganizational cooperation refers to the interaction that occurs among elements of the Department
  of Defense; participating United States Government departments and agencies; state, territorial, local, and
  tribal agencies; foreign military forces and government agencies; international organizations;
  nongovernmental organizations; and the private sector (JP 3-08). The proper execution of interorganizational
  cooperation leads to unity of effort through identifying common objectives and building a common
  understanding. CA forces are integral to this effort through their mandate to interact with civilian populations,
  organizations, and agencies. Inter-organizational cooperation refers to the interactions between DOD,
  participating USG departments and agencies, and:
