  institutions at provincial level and below.
  * Tactical-level to operational-level civil components for the supported commander’s common
  operational picture.

  operations-capable CA brigade. Each has unique capabilities and supports the Army in different conditions.

  command and control of up to five CA battalions—both assigned and attached units. These CA brigades—
  * Provide focused CA capabilities to corps-level, theater Army, and field Army missions and areas
  of operation.
  * Plan, synchronize, and conduct CAO to—
  Develop, leverage, and exploit regional and trans-regional civil networks.
  
  Anticipate and exploit changing conditions in human geography.
  
  Set conditions for successful CMO in support of corps objectives.

  * Provides theater-level CA coordination, policies, and programs in support of stabilization,
  reconstruction, and development efforts.
