  military government specialists within USAR CA formations to formulate governance and stability lines of
  effort for the resistance.
  C-8. The resistance gains legitimacy through TG via support to its alternate administration. This is
  accomplished by addressing grievances and providing essential services to create a civil strength or bond
  with the population. As the regime becomes severely degraded or collapses, CA will assist with addressing
  the remaining civil vulnerabilities to create stability for the emergent government, and inclusively, across the
  indigenous population.
  C-9. It is critical to note that CAO support to UW, is not intended to represent a linear process. As depicted
  in figure C-1, it represents the relationship between civil strengths and civil vulnerabilities as they pertain to
  civil instability for the current regime, civil opportunities for the resistance, and stability for a new
  government. The left side depicts CAO and corresponding resistance actions that increase the de-
  legitimization of the current regime, through degradation of civil strengths with the population, and attacking
  civil vulnerabilities to provide legitimacy opportunities for the resistance.
  Note: DODD 3000.07, JP 3-05, FM 3-05, FM 3-18, ATP 3-05.1, and ATP 3-18.1 provide more
  information on UW.
