  of the civilian infrastructure, such as the location of toxic industrial materials, may influence operations.
  Analyzing a structure involves determining how its location, functions, and capabilities support an
  operation. Commanders also consider the consequences of using a certain structure. Commanders must
  carefully weigh the expected military benefits against costs to the community that will have to be addressed
  in the future. Table 1-3 shows an example structures matrix. Considerations for each of the
  columns include—
  Structure
  1-53. This identifies, defines, and names the specific structures within the AO.
  Location
  1-54. This describes the specific location (grid coordinates) of each structure.
  Population
  1-55. This describes how the population perceives and uses the structure.
  Insurgent
  1-56. This describes how the insurgent perceives and uses the structure.
  Counterinsurgent
  1-57. This describes how counterinsurgents look at this structure.

  CAPABILITIES
  1-58. Capabilities refer to the ability of local authorities to provide citizens with key services such
  as public administration, public safety, emergency services, and food. Capabilities include areas in which
  the populace may need help after combat operations, such as public works and utilities, public health,
  economics, and commerce. Capabilities also refer to resources and services that can be contracted
  to support the military mission such as interpreters, laundry services, construction materials,
  and equipment. The Host Nation or other nations might provide these resources and services. Commanders
  and staffs analyze capabilities from different perspectives. They view capabilities in terms of those
  required to save, sustain, or enhance life, in that priority.
  1-59. Within each demographic group, identify who is responsible overall for each item that is required
  to save, sustain, or enhance life. Include preexisting needs as well as the needs of the populace after
  combat operations or disaster. This will play a large part identifying root causes of the insurgency. These
  items are listed here as well but the focus is on who is responsible for each item. Table 1-4 shows an
  example capabilities matrix. Considerations for each of the columns include—
