text: Civil Affairs Operations
  2-44. CA provides transitional military authority through its commanders, governance expertise, and its
  government function specialist capabilities. All CA forces are skilled in governance and understand the
  importance of the five USG stability sectors to the implementation of governance at any level. These stability
  sectors are—
  * Establish civil security.
  * Establish civil control.
  * Restore essential services.
  * Provide support to governance.
  * Provide support to economic and infrastructure development.
  2-45. CA government function specialists have additional expertise within each of the USG stability sectors
  to facilitate governance. CA forces enable the continuity of government functions by providing a bridge to
  the more robust governance expertise of the DOS and other entities.
  Note: See Appendix B for more detailed information on the role of CA in governance.
  SUPPORT TO CIVIL ADMINISTRATION
  2-46. SCA is a critical function of support to government operations, which is aligned with the six primary
  Army stability operations tasks. Support to governance is a stability operations task required for obtaining a
  stable population-centric OE. SCA is assistance given by CA forces to stabilize or enhance the operations of
  the governing body of a foreign country, by assisting an established or interim government. SCA occurs when
  CA forces support the DOS in the implementation of interim civil authority or U.S. foreign policy in support of
  host-nation internal defense and development.
  Note: ADP 3-07 provides information on the critical aspects of SCA. Its discussion of movement
  corridors and personnel recovery provides guidance to CA forces when conducting these aspects
  of SCA.
  Note: CA forces can gain a baseline understanding of an OE through several means, which
  include, but are not limited to, the reviews of current country studies by other CA forces and
  government entities.
  2-47. During the competition phase, SCA can complement, support, enhance, and enable security cooperation,
  theater security cooperation activities, deterrence, foreign internal defense (FID), and CCDR campaign plans as
  a function of stability operations.
  2-48. During armed conflict, SCA is implemented through execution of stability operations tasks. SCA is
  essential to consolidate gains that are made in offensive operations. In the close area, CA units establish contact
  with existing civil authorities and prioritize SCA efforts. As consolidation areas are established, U.S. forces will
  increase stability operations. Based on historical data from World War II liberation of occupied territories in the
  European theater, a typical sequence of events may look like—
  * Dislocated civilian (DC) operations and FHA.
  * Re-establishment of local government.
  * Provision of emergency supplies.
  * Public health and sanitation surveys.
  * Organization and training of auxiliary police.
  * Issuance of passes for necessary civilian travel.
  * Liaison with resistance groups.
  * Procurement of civilian labor for the Army.
  * Assistance to Army in its relations with the civilian population.
  * Restoration to nearly normal pre-conflict conditions.
