  8-60. The BCT ensures host-nation forces act in accordance with respect to human rights; failure to do so
  undermines popular support for the host-nation government and can quickly revert conditions back to those
  experienced during the initial response phase. Partnered security operations that place thehost-nation forces
  in the lead or independent of the BCT that result in combating instability are the most credible to the
  population and build legitimacy of government through ownership.
  8-61. Initially the BCT may simply be a support apparatus or, contrastingly, may make most security related
  decisions and perform most tasks. Nevertheless, host-nation actors support and increasingly take ownership
  in such matters. The BCT develops clear MOPs and MOEs leading to the security efforts shifting from the
  BCT as the lead to the host-nation forces in the lead. The BCT develops indicators of the host-nation unit’s
  actions and conduct as well as the local population sentiment that their units can identify while conducting
  partnered actions.
  FOSTERING SUSTAINABILITY
  8-62. Inthe fostering sustainability phase, the BCT transitions to a steady state posture focused on advisory
  duties and security cooperation. The BCT commander implements additional peace measures depending
  upon further negotiations. During this phase, the BCT enables the host nation to sustain the peace.
  SUPPORT TO CIVIL CONTROL
  8-63. Civil control centers on rule of law by promoting efforts to rebuild host nation judiciary and corrections
  systems by providing training and support to law enforcement and judicial personnel. Civil control tasks
  focus on building temporary or interim capabilities to pave the way for the host nation or international
  organizations to implement permanent capabilities. (See ATP 3-07.5 for additional information.) Support to
  civil control subtasks include—
  (cid:122) Establish public order and safety.
  (cid:122) Establish an interim criminal justice system.
  (cid:122) Support law enforcement and police reform.
  (cid:122) Support judicial reform.
  (cid:122) Support a civil property dispute resolution process.
  (cid:122) Support criminal justice system reform.
  (cid:122) Support corrections reform.
  (cid:122) Support war crimes courts and tribunals.
  (cid:122) Support public outreach and community rebuilding programs.
  8-64. Establishing security and rebuilding justice institutions can help to develop the necessary climate for
  reconciliation, public confidence, and subsequent economic growth. The BCT supports civil control tasks
  directly by conducting operations that support subtasks establishing public order and safety and supporting
  public outreach and community rebuilding efforts. The BCT supports the remaining civil control subtasks
  indirectly.
  INITIAL RESPONSE
  8-65. During initial response, the BCT conducts area security to protect the population, facilitate access to
  critical resources for endangered populations, and secure vital resources and infrastructure for the interim
  and future criminal justice institutions to strengthen the legitimacy of the operation and maintain the trust of
  the host nation. The BCT initiates the principles of conflict transformation and unity of effort to begin
  establishment of civil control.
  8-66. The BCT conducts operations that safeguard the local population and prevent factions or actors from
  contributing to sources of instability, in this case actors or groups enacting their form of justice. The legal
  and justice system will be in disarray during the initial response from the interim and host-nation government.
  The BCT respects and implements laws established by the host nation in support of political objectives and
  directly addresses sources of instability. The BCT staff analyzes these laws to recommend COAs and develop
  rules of engagement or other mission parameters.
