  to law enforcement and judicial personnel. Army units focus on implementing temporary or interim
  capabilities to lay the foundation for host-nation or interorganizational development of this sector.
  1-13. Civil control is based on a society ensuring individuals and groups adhere to the rule of law. A
  society that embraces the rule of law provides equal access to a legal system consistent with international
  human rights principles. Developing such a society is a long-term process guided by civilian entities.
  1-14. Military forces perform subordinate tasks to facilitate civil control during all three phases of the
  stability framework. Initial response tasks focus on establishing civil control and fostering the rule of law.
  During the initial response phase of the stability framework, Army units may have to complete tasks on
  their own because the host nation has little or no capability or legitimacy. In other phases, host-nation
  security forces can maintain public order and require little Army unit involvement.
  1-15. Transformation tasks develop justice, corrections systems, and other legal fields that meet
  international human rights standards and support viable processes for redress and reconciliation. In the
  transformation phase of the stability framework, host-nation police forces and interorganizational entities
  take the lead with Army units focusing on security force assistance, particularly the professionalization of
  host-nation security forces.
  1-16. Fostering sustainability tasks emphasizes the transfer of the judicial and corrections systems to host-
  nation personnel. Army units facilitate this transfer, continue to monitor and report, and transition to a
  steady state posture focused on advisory duties and security cooperation.
  1-17. Depending on the situation, nine subtasks may be performed:
  * Establish public order and safety.
  * Establish an interim criminal justice system.
  * Support law enforcement and police reform.
  * Support judicial reform.
  * Support a civil property dispute resolution process.
  * Support criminal justice system reform.
  * Support corrections reform.
  * Support war crimes courts and tribunals.
  * Support public outreach and community rebuilding programs.
  (For a more detailed discussion of establish civil control subtasks, see chapter 3 of ATP 3-07.5.)
  RESTORE ESSENTIAL SERVICES
  1-18. Restoring services essential to local expectations of normalcy allows people to return their daily
  activities and prevents further destabilization. Ideally, the host nation’s government and civilian relief
  agencies should restore and develop essential services. In most cases, local, international, and U.S. agencies
  have arrived in country long before U.S. forces. However, when partner organizations are not well
  established or lack capacity, Army units accomplish these tasks until the other organizations can.
  1-19. Military forces perform subordinate tasks to facilitate restoring essential services during all three
  phases of the stability framework. During the initial response phase of the stability framework, Army units
  take the lead in providing for the population’s immediate critical needs, supporting and enabling other
  actors as they become operational. Army units provide minimal assistance if the other actors are already
  well-established. In any case, Army units assess essential services based on local norms. They determine
  the levels of functionality necessary to mitigate instability.
  1-20. The transformation phase of the stability framework occurs once the immediate crisis is past and
  sufficient capacity begins to grow. This phase establishes the foundation for long-term development and
  resolves root causes of conflict that lead to famine, dislocated civilians, refugee flows, and human
  trafficking.
  1-21. In the fostering sustainability phase of the stability framework, the host nation makes the efforts
  permanent by institutionalizing positive change in society and ensuring it has the means to sustain progress.
  If the situation in the host nation regresses, the host nation may resume stability tasks from earlier phases.
