  CIVIL AFFAIRS TEAM
  4-108. The CAT conducts CAO missions at the tactical level. Teams have the ability to conduct CR and
  CE and to establish connections with and mobilize civil networks. The CAT is also the element that can
  produce desired effects in the civil component by—
  * Working with and through civil networks.
  * Conducting CA projects and programs.
  * Coordinating and directing humanitarian aid provision and distribution.
  * Providing governance expertise and SCA at the local level.
  * Conducting other CAO meant to interact directly with civilian populations.
  4-109. A limitation of the CAT is its size and need for theater-mandated force protection support. While in
  competition environments, the CAT has much greater freedom of movement than regular forces due to
  interactions with the civil population. However, during large-scale combat operations, CATs are generally in
  need of force protection support as the team is only four members and it is routinely embedded in other
  maneuver elements to provide for the force protection needs of the team.
  4-110. CATs are deployable CA units of action capable of—
  * Conducting CR and CE to support strategic-, operational-, and tactical-level civil-military
  objectives in support of conventional brigade level missions.
  * Developing and leveraging civil networks and conducting CMI to find, disrupt, and defeat hybrid
  threats in the civil component.
  * Providing an advantage to the USG, allies, and partners, through the conduct of CR, CE and CMI.
  CIVIL AFFAIRS COMPANY
  4-111. In large-scale combat operations, the CA company operations section provides the supported commander
  the capability to analyze, evaluate, and direct CND and engagement in order to create effects in the civil component
