  5-3. CA forces form a critical point in the interaction between U.S. forces and interorganizational partners.
  This is due to the training that CA forces receive in governance and governmental sector expertise, regional
  expertise, cultural understanding, and language capabilities. CA forces utilize this interaction to help create
  a common understanding of the OE. Interorganizational partners can provide local information which may
  be available through military channels. This information highlights—
  * Historical perspectives and insight.
  * Local cultural practices.
  * Local political structure, political aims of various parties, and the roles of key leaders, which are used
  to corroborate information provided by Service intelligence and non-intelligence organizations.
  * Security situation.
  * Role and capabilities of the host-nation government.
  5-4. Through development of local civil networks, CA elements are able to increase the capabilities of local
  governance and add to the common understanding that is essential to unified action. Through CKI and CMI,
  CA forces collect civil information, produce civil knowledge products, and integrate and share those products
  in order to increase shared understanding and integrate, coordinate, and synchronize all elements to achieve
  unity of effort. Through TG, CA elements are able to build local governance capacity in order to enable
  strengthened local efforts leading to more capable and reliable interorganizational partners.
  5-5. One of the most important elements for interorganizational cooperation is a CMOC. The CMOC is the
  meeting place of stakeholders. It may be physical, virtual, or conducted collaboratively through online
  networks, or by intermediates (as NGOs may be reluctant to conduct coordination meetings in settings
  managed by the military). At the joint level the CMOC is formed to:
  * Execute the CMO guidance of the JFC.
  * Provide liaison with departments, agencies, and organizations.
  * Provide a forum for organizations that want to discuss CMO issues and raise concerns, yet
  maintain their neutrality. Many of these organizations consider the CMOC as a venue for
  stakeholder discussions but not a stakeholder decision-making forum.
  * Receive, validate, and action requests for support from NGOs, international organizations, and the
  private sector. The CMOC then forwards these requests to the joint force for action.
  Note: JP 3-08 provides more information on interorganizational partners.
  Note: CA forces interact with multinational partners in support of interorganizational cooperation,
  and these partners are not always able to receive classified information. CA forces should make
  every effort available to reduce classification of civil knowledge products that are needed for
  interorganizational cooperation. Proper foreign disclosure practices must be executed by CA
  organizations (beginning at the lowest level possible) to ensure timely dissemination of civil
  knowledge products to interorganizational partners.
