  in an effort to enable unified action. This is a critical requirement in unified land operations during all phases of
  operations and across the competition continuum. The CMOC is critical in the integration, coordination and
  synchronization of CMI, CAO, and CMO in—
  * Defense support to stabilization during competition.
  * Joint reception.
  * Staging onward movement and integration during transition to armed conflict.
  * Consolidation activities, defense support to stabilization, and TG in rear areas (within transitional
  military authority or SCA, as appropriate) during armed conflict and return to competition.
  2-116. During unified land operations conditions may shift from offense to defense to stabilization, and
  multiple conditions can exist simultaneously within an AO. CMOCs are an asset for the commander in their
  role of collecting, analyzing, and evaluating information from multiple sources to track and understand
  changing conditions. They can also play a role in planning future operations by integrating with stabilization
  focused departments, agencies, and organizations.

  2-117. During conditions that primarily favor offensive operations, CMOCs at the tactical level remain as
  mobile as the headquarters element. CMOCs—
  * Provide information on resources within an OE that can assist the commander in achieving stated
  goals and end states, while reducing internal resource consumption.
  * Plan populace control measures to increase freedom of maneuver.
  * Plan CAO to increase stability in newly liberated areas, and liaises with joint, interagency, and
  interorganizational partners to prepare for the transition to stability operations.
