  * Commander’s intent.
  * Mission analysis.
  * Commander’s critical information requirements (CCIRs).
  * Priority intelligence requirements of supported and CA unit commanders.
  * Planned branches and sequels to combat operations, including consolidation activities and
  transition of governance activities to civil authorities.
  2-57. CA forces (including individuals and teams) identify individuals, organizations, and existing networks
  of people who are able to provide civil information, produce desired effects, or fulfill resource requirements
  in the OE. CA forces are trained and required to develop new, or engage existing, civil networks within the
  civil populations, government and nongovernment organizations, the private sector, unified action partners,
  and others who reside or conduct business in and around the immediate AO.
  2-58. The main outputs of this step include—
  * A developed civil information collection plan.
  * A CND plan to identify specific answers to CCIRs and targeting identification.
  * A mission order or concept of operations (CONOPS) that directs targeted CR and CE that answers
  all information resource requirements.
  * Civil network identifications in an area study.
  * The use of initial or deliberate assessment and surveys of identified civil networks to confirm
  critical civil information.
  2-59. Other outputs include, but are not limited to—
  * Updates to the CA running estimate.
  * Identification of additional mission tasks to be executed.
  * Purpose.
  * Objective.
  * Effects.
  * Measures of performance.
  * Measures of effectiveness.
  2-60. All these outputs, once analyzed and evaluated, provide civil knowledge that will be integrated by
  CAO staff, at echelon, into the command’s planning processes. This information will be used to update the
  common operational picture through knowledge management and inform the warfighting functions as
  necessary.
  2-61. CA forces work with other information-related capabilities to plan, prepare, execute, and assess
  communication activities. CNDE is used to understand and shape the information environment to create
  effects in the cognitive dimension that support information dominance and freedom of action. CA forces
  coordinate and synchronize objectives, effects, measures of effectiveness, and measures of performance with
  the other information-related capabilities.
  CONDUCT CIVIL NETWORK ENGAGEMENT
  2-62. The key tasks in conducting civil network engagement are CR and CE. CA forces conduct CR across
  time and space to enhance the supported commanders’ situational understanding and facilitate decisionmaking.
  2-63. CR is a targeted, planned, and coordinated observation and evaluation of specific civil aspects of the
  OE for the purpose of collecting civil information. The civil information collection plan drives CR and CE
  to understand the following in order to enhance situational understanding and facilitate decision making—
  * Impacts of the civil component on military operations.
  * Impacts of military operations on the civil component.
  * Development of assessments and running estimates.
