  • Rebuild/build infrastructure for HN security forces.
  • Train HN security forces.
  • Equip HN security forces.
  • Advise HN security forces.
  • Mentor HN security forces.
  SUPPORT TO GOVERNANCE
  4-38. Sometimes no HN government exists or the government is unable or unwilling to assume full
  responsibility for governance. In those cases, this LOE may involve establishing and maintaining a military
  government or a civil administration while creating an HN capability to govern. When well executed, these
  actions may eliminate the root causes of the insurgency. Governance activities are among the most
  important of all in establishing lasting stability for a region or nation. Stability operations establish
  conditions that enable interagency and Host Nation actions to succeed. Military efforts help to build
  progress toward achieving effective, legitimate governance by restoring public administration
  and re-sorting public services while fostering long-term efforts to establish a functional, effective system
  of political governance. Military actions help to shape the environment so interagency and HN actions can
  succeed. Typical support to government tasks include—
  • Support transitional administrations.
  • Support development of local governance.
  • Support anticorruption initiatives.
  • Support elections.
  RESTORE ESSENTIAL SERVICES
  4-39. Army forces establish or restore the basic services that address the life support needs of the HN
  population and protect them until a civil authority or the Host Nation can provide them (FM 3-0). The
  counterinsurgent force works toward meeting the population’s basic needs. Ideally, the military is simply
  providing the security for the humanitarian assistance by supporting other government, intergovernmental,
  and Host Nation agencies. When the Host Nation or other agency cannot perform its role, Army forces
  may provide the basics directly. Typical "restore essential services tasks include—
  • Provide essential civil services.
  • Tasks related to civilian dislocation.
  • Support famine prevention and emergency food relief programs.
  • Support public health programs.
  • Support education programs.
  SUPPORT TO ECONOMIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
  4-40. Military task executed to support the economic sector are critical to sustainable economic
  development (FM 3-07). The economic development LOE includes both short—and long-term aspects.
  The short-term aspect concerns immediate problems, such as large-scale unemployment and reestablishing
  an economy. The long-term aspect involves stimulating indigenous, robust, and broad economic activity.
  The stability a nation enjoys is often related to its people’s economic situation and its adherence to the rule
  of law. However, a nation’s economic health also depends on its government’s ability to continuously
  secure its population. Support to economic and infrastructure development helps a Host Nation develop
  capability and capacity in these areas. It may involve direct and indirect military assistance to local,
  regional, and national entities. Typical support economic and infrastructure development tasks include—
  • Support economic generation and enterprise creation.
  • Support public sector investment programs.
  • Support private sector development.
  • Support agricultural development programs.
  • Restore transportation infrastructure.
