text: Stability Tasks in Military Operations
  SUPPORT TO ECONOMIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
  1-28. Long-term peace and stability require sustainable host-nation economic and infrastructure
  development. The end state is the creation of a sustainable economy. In post-conflict and fragile states,
  host-nation actors, interagency partners, and interorganizational partners often have the most useful
  knowledge and skills regarding the restoration and facilitation of economic and infrastructure development.
  However, if security considerations or other factors restrict their ability to intervene, Army units should
  assist host-nation entities to foster sustainable economic and infrastructure development.
  1-29. Military forces perform subordinate tasks to facilitate support to economic and infrastructure
  development during all three phases of the stability framework. In the initial response phase of the stability
  framework, Army units take the lead in assessing local economic conditions and prioritizing the obstacles
  to economic development. If other partners are unable to mitigate them, Army units work with host-nation
  and interorganizational partners to implement activities. Depending on the situation, Army units may
  provide security to foster commerce, create short-term livelihood opportunities, facilitate market access,
  secure key infrastructure or natural resources, or perform other tasks. It is crucial for Army commanders to
  implement only activities that support long-term sustainable development. For example, a project focused
  on creating jobs in the short term must ensure appropriate wages for local economic conditions. Inadequate
  wages for teachers or other professionals could eventually lead to their resignations. Such situations could
  disrupt progress and distort expectations of the host nation’s economy and government.
  1-30. During the transformation phase of the stability framework, Army units establish the foundation for
  sustainable economic development and transition control of economic development to host-nation officials
  or interorganizational entities. Army units focus on establishing host-nation institutions that can provide
  sustainable economic growth. Once a civilian administration assumes control, Army units primarily advise
  and assist those officials. During this phase, Army forces continuously update the economic and
  infrastructure assessments. They transfer responsibility for maintaining the economy and infrastructure to
  host-nation officials or interorganizational entities. In general, the transformation phase builds on and
  reinforces successes of the initial response phase.
  1-31. In the fostering sustainability phase of the stability framework, Army units facilitate the
  institutionalization of a long-term, sustainable economic infrastructure development program and transition
  economic control to host-nation officials and the civil society. The primarily task of Army units is to advise
  and assist host-nation civilian economic officials.
  1-32. Depending on the situation, economic and infrastructure development has ten primary subtasks:
  * Support economic generation and enterprise creation.
  * Support monetary institutions and programs.
  * Support national treasury operations.
  * Support public sector investment programs.
  * Support private sector development.
  * Protect natural resources and environment.
  * Support agricultural development programs.
  * Restore transportation infrastructure.
  * Restore telecommunications infrastructure.
  * Support general infrastructure reconstruction programs.
  1-33. Before implementing any activities, Army units must first assess the economic and infrastructure
  situation. This assessment should be based on local norms. It should identify and prioritize the sources of
  instability that threaten effective economic and infrastructure development. (For a more detailed discussion
  of support to economic and infrastructure development subtasks, see chapter 6 of ATP 3-07.5.)
  IDENTIFICATION AND ACCOMPLISHMENT OF STABILITY TASKS
  1-34. Ensuring a state’s long-term stability depends on applying combat power to those tasks that are, in
  fact, essential. For the commander and staff, operations focused on stability require a unique combination
  of knowledge and understanding, the ability to achieve unity of effort, and a thorough depth of cultural
