  A-6. The school instructed officers in staff-level military government functions. However, because the
  School of Military Government could not meet the growing demand for trained CA personnel, the Army
  exported the program to other civilian universities throughout the U.S. By 1945, the Army taught CA courses
  at Fort Custer, Michigan; the CA Staging Area at Fort Ord/Presidio of Monterey, California; or in overseas
  schools.
  A-7. To manage its CA (Military Government) efforts, the U.S. Army created the Military Government
  Division, established in July 1942 under the Office of the Provost Marshal General. Its small size and lack
  of influence, compounded by the sheer number of CA matters experienced by Lieutenant General Dwight D.
  Eisenhower after the invasion of North Africa on 8 November 1942, prompted the formation of the
  CA Division under the War Department in March 1943. Led by Major General John H. Hilldring, the
  CA Division formulated policy for CA (Military Government) units. These units ranged in size from the
  European CA Division, with more than 8,200 personnel, to nine-person CA Detachments spread throughout
  combat units.
  A-8. These elements worked closely, near, or with combat forces, helping to address the concerns of civilian
  populations and stabilizing rear areas so that combat commanders could remain focused on the enemy.
  CA (Military Government) elements had expanded roles in the final year of World War II and particularly in
  stabilizing post-war Germany, Austria, Italy, Japan, and Korea. However, the number of CA personnel
  declined considerably as the Army reduced force structure in the postwar drawdown. A standing CA
  capability appeared to be on its way out of the Army until another conflict guaranteed its survival as a
  permanent U.S. Army capability.
  A-9. The Korean War not only resurrected U.S. Army CA, but also served as a turning point for the
  employment of CA and led to a permanent establishment of the capability in the U.S. Army. With the brief
  exception of conducting military government in North Korea in late 1950, U.S. CA personnel worked in
  South Korea, a sovereign allied country with a functioning government. There, CA Soldiers, organized first
  under the United Nations Public Health and Welfare Detachment (1950), then the United Nations Civil
  Assistance Command (1951 to 1953), and later, under the Korean Civil Assistance Command (1953 to 1955).
  CA Soldiers provided refugee assistance and medical care for the civilian population, while helping to rebuild
  destroyed public infrastructure. The large-scale effort provided the rationale for the U.S. Army to establish
  the CA (Military Government) Branch in the USAR on 17 August 1955. On 2 October 1959, the Army
  eliminated the term Military Government and renamed it the CA Branch. This name change reflected recent
  operations and changes in doctrine describing how the U.S. Army would employ CA in future conflicts.
  A-10. Similar to the Korean War, the U.S. Army CA effort in South Vietnam (1965 to 1971) was based on
  operating within a sovereign allied country. However, this time, as guided by FM 41-10, CA became associated
  with unconventional warfare (UW). The three active duty CA companies—the 41st, 2d, and 29th—assigned to
  South Vietnam helped integrate rural and war refugee populations into the national economic and political
  systems. The CA companies provided medical care and assisted with agricultural, educational, and
  infrastructure improvements, while giving credit to the government of South Vietnam for their efforts. That
  mission would be later reincarnated as village stability operations in Afghanistan in 2010 to 2014.
  Note: FM 41-10 is an obsolete publication, which provides historical reference and is listed in the
  Obsolete Publications section of the references for this FM.
  A-11. The experience in Vietnam brought lasting changes to CA. On 15 September 1971, the CA School,
  then administered under the Provost Marshal General’s Office and based at Fort Gordon, Georgia, moved to
  Fort Bragg, North Carolina. There, it came under the direction of the U.S. Army Institute for Military
  Assistance, now the United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School
  (USAJFKSWCS). Active duty CA units soon relocated to Fort Bragg and were placed under the 95th CA
  Group. However, in the post-Vietnam drawdown, the Army disbanded most active duty CA units. Only the
  96th CA Battalion at Fort Bragg remained on active duty. Then, as now, the preponderance of CA units
  resided in the USAR.
  A-12. During the next two decades, CA made incremental steps toward becoming a core element of U.S.
  Army Special Operations. On 1 October 1982, the Army established 1st Special Operations Command
  (SOCOM) at Fort Bragg in which the 96th CA Battalion was a subordinate element. After the U.S. Army
