  Note: CA is critical to the planning, coordinating, and execution of the above tasks (and others)
  with civilian entities. These critical CA capabilities impact the commander’s influence and use of
  command and control to consolidate gains within the OE.
  2-49. The CA responsibilities during SCA in armed conflict are designed to enable the operational and
  support functions of the commander with respect to the continuity of government in a foreign nation or host
  nation (HN). Failure to consolidate gains leads to governance vacuums that will be exploited by adversaries.
  2-50. In return to competition, if transitional military authority is not directed, CA units will continue to
  provide SCA while gradually transitioning to civilian authorities and decreasing SCA. Continued CMI will
  ensure SCA operations are synchronized with unified action partners.
  2-51. CA responsibilities in SCA include—
  * Monitoring and anticipating future requirements of the IPI in terms of the CA functional specialty
  areas.
  * Engage and develop civil networks to facilitate TG requirements.
  * Develop civil capacity and identify resources and capabilities to support the commander’s mission.
  * Coordinating and synchronizing collaborative interagency or multinational SCA operations.
  * Execution of selected SCA operations.
  * Performing quality control assessments of SCA operations and costs.
  * Facilitating the arbitration of problems arising from the execution of SCA operations.
  * Coordinating and synchronizing transition of SCA operations from military to indigenous
  government or international transitional government control.
  * Targeting and prioritizing SCA with inputs from the CNDE process.
  * Mobilizing civil networks to provide civil security and civil control.
  * Mobilizing civil networks to enhance emergency management plans.
  CIVIL NETWORK DEVELOPMENT AND ENGAGEMENT
  2-52. The execution of CNDE enables commanders to develop courses of action that create effects in the
  civil component which consolidate gains and create multiple dilemmas for an enemy force attempting to act
  and maneuver through that area. Civil networks also enable commanders to assess the effects of IO and other
  nonlethal actions in the OE. CNDE and its associated tasks are critical functions of CAO. Supported
  commanders utilize CA forces to extend command and control influence where it is not normally present or
  established in order to leverage the civil entities within the operational area and achieve desired end states.
  CA forces conduct CNDE to enable the operations of the commander.
  2-53. When developing and engaging civil networks, CA forces use rigor and diligence to ensure that civil
  networks are not threats (and do not become threats) to the civil component. Constant monitoring of these
  civil networks is critical to assess changes in motivation and loyalties. As CA forces identify civil networks
  within the AO, they categorize the civil networks, and provide them to the appropriate staff entity. For
  example, an identified threat network goes to the S-2, an identified sustainment network goes to the S-4, and
  a network that requires targeting goes to the S-3.
  2-54. The CNDE process consists of the following six steps:
  * Develop a civil network engagement plan.
  * Conduct civil network engagement.
  * Analyze civil networks.
  * Develop selected civil networks.
  * Evaluate developed civil networks.
  * Integrate mobilized civil networks.
  2-55. Step one of the CNDE process closely corresponds with the plan activity of the operations process.
  Steps two through six correspond to the execute activity of the operations process. Assessment is continuous
