  common interest. CNDE enables commanders to understand the civil component of the OE. The effects of
  CNDE include—
  * Enabling freedom of movement and maneuver.
  * Managing limited resources.
  * Preserving combat power.
  * Providing the command with options to find, disrupt, and defeat threats in the civil component
  such as—
  Destabilized or failing infrastructure.
  
  Enemy special purpose forces.
  
  Enemy proxy forces.
  
  Criminal entities or unidentified adversaries who aim to create civil strife.
  
  * Consolidating gains.
  CIVIL KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION
  1-19. Civil knowledge integration is the actions taken to analyze, evaluate, and organize collected civil
  information for operational relevance and informing the warfighting function. The resulting civil
  knowledge is integrated with other knowledge about the OE to create shared understanding among
  commanders, unified action partners, international organizations, and civilian partners. CA forces use CKI
  primarily to inform, focus, direct CAO and civil-military operations (CMO) at all echelons.
  1-20. In addition, CKI—incorporated through the Army’s integrating processes of intelligence preparation
  of the battlefield (IPB), information collection, targeting, risk management (RM), and knowledge
  management—enables the commander’s understanding of the OE and develops the common operational
  picture. CA units also use this information as inputs to the CNDE process to refine information requirements
  and to shape branches, sequels, and other future missions.
  CIVIL-MILITARY INTEGRATION
  1-21. Civil-military integration is the actions taken to establish, maintain, influence, or leverage
  relations between military forces and indigenous populations and institutions to synchronize,
  coordinate, and enable interorganizational cooperation and to achieve unified action. CMI is essential
  to effective integration of operations with commanders and unified action partners to achieve unity of effort.
  The establishment of a civil-military operations center (CMOC), or other mechanisms, enables civil
  information sharing and integration.
  Note: See JP 3-08 for additional information about interorganizational cooperation.
  CIVIL AFFAIRS MISSIONS
  1-22. Execution of the CA missions allows CA forces to fulfill their role of engaging, influencing, and
  leveraging the civil component of the OE while enhancing, enabling, or providing governance. These
  missions are executed throughout all the core competencies and provide continuity in CAO.
  1-23. CA missions include—
  * Conduct civil reconnaissance (CR).
  * Conduct civil engagement (CE).
  * Conduct civil network development (CND).
  * Conduct civil information evaluation (CIE).
  * Establish CMOCs.
  * Provide support to civil administration (SCA).
  * Establish and maintain transitional military authority.
