  competition continuum:
  * Joint or multinational engineer.

  CIVIL AFFAIRS TASK FORCE
  4-126. A CA task force is a scalable unit in charge of the stabilization elements and organized around the
  nucleus of CA and support elements. CA task forces are temporarily task-organized formations sourced from
  Army units and assigned to a theater Army, corps, division, or BCT. When operating during consolidation
  of gains, CA units establish the core of a CA task force with the commander and staff and their respective
  subordinate units. A CA task force may be augmented with any of the following elements:
  * Public affairs.
  * Maneuver elements.
  * Engineers.
  * Medical units.
  * Military police.
  * Logistics and transportation elements.
  * Other units as necessary for stabilization operations.
  4-127. The primary mission of the CA task force is to focus the stabilization efforts in an AO under one
  command line, thereby increasing the speed and efficiency of stabilization operations tasks. The speed with
  which transition occurs from U.S. forces to local authorities is dependent on the ability to plan and control
  elements aimed at increasing governance at the tactical and operational levels. CA task forces provide the
  important linkage between interagency, interorganizational, and NGOs which are important to the success of
  stabilization operations. During large-scale combat operations and consolidation of gains, a CA task force
  can—
  * Be a stand-alone task force or subordinate unit to a higher task force.
  * Assist unit commanders when their organic ability cannot meet the civil needs of their AO.
  * Plan and direct CAO in a supported AO.
  * Provide CNA and direction for development and mobilization within an AO.
  * Provide linkage between the supported command and nonmilitary agencies operating in the AO
  through a CMOC.
  * Advise the supported commander on policy; funding; multinational, foreign, or host-nation
  sensitivities; and the effects of these components on theater strategy and/or campaign and
  operational missions.
  * Provide command and control, or direction, of military host-nation advisory, assessment,
  planning, and other assistance activities by U.S. forces.
  * Assist in establishing military-to-civilian links to facilitate cooperative assistance arrangements.
  * Perform essential coordination or liaison with host-nation agencies; country teams; United Nations
  agencies; and deployed U.S., multinational, and host-nation military forces and supporting logistic
  organizations.
  * Assist in the planning and conduct of civil information programs to publicize positive results and
  objectives of military assistance projects in order to—
  Build civil acceptance and support of U.S. operations.
  
  Promote local capabilities contributing to recovery and economic-social development.
