  5-21. The CME program consists of four distinct capabilities-based, task-organized units of action.
  These units of action include:
  * CMSE. A civil-military support element is a task-organized Civil Affairs force established to
  plan, facilitate, and execute Civil Affairs operations in support of civil-military engagement
  in a specified country, region, or theater. The CMSE is primarily sourced by a special operations
  CAT. Through CAO, the CMSE conducts planned and targeted CR and CE, engaging networks
  to affect the behavior and will of relevant actors, audiences, and adversaries in the OE in support
  of combatant command campaign plans, the TSOC campaign support plan, and in conjunction
  with U.S. embassy strategies.
  * Regional CMSE. The regional CMSE conducts network engagement and analysis within a
  subordinate command architecture to the TSOC, and is primarily sourced by a special operations
  CA company. It conducts tactical to operational level human network analysis to comprehensively
  study and understand the relationships of networks to support preparation of the environment.
  The regional CMSE is a task-organized unit of action based upon mission specific requirements
  with the ability to conduct command and control of the CME elements in their assigned region to
  achieve desired effects.
  * Theater CMSE. The theater CMSE is primarily sourced by elements from a special operations
  CA battalion headquarters and is filled based upon specific mission requirements. It conducts and
  integrates network analysis into the joint planning process, joint intelligence preparation of the
  OE, and the joint targeting cycle. The theater CMSE is collocated with a theater-level special
  operations command and control node. It also has the ability to conduct command and control of
  the CME elements in their theater to achieve desired affects.
  * Trans-Regional CME Element. The trans-regional CME element is sourced from special
  operations CA personnel assigned to USSOCOM who carry out their duties at interorganizational
  partners in USSOCOM-identified priority locations. This unit of action is tasked with developing
  and maintaining long-term relationships through an enduring presence across the unified action
  partner network to enhance trans-regional synchronization and improve inter-organizational
  cooperation.
  5-22. Trans-regionally and persistently engaged CME elements conduct targeted CAO to increase the
  capability of USG-supported IPI and to reduce the influence of malign actors within targeted countries and
  regions. These elements leverage civil vulnerabilities and resiliencies within the OE in support of the
  campaign plans of the CCDR and the TSOC campaign support plan, and in conjunction with U.S. embassy
  strategies.
  INTERAGENCY COORDINATION
  5-23. Interagency coordination is the cooperation and communication that occurs between agencies of the
  USG, including the DOD, to accomplish an objective. The accomplishment of strategic objectives identified
  in U.S. national security policy requires a whole-of-government approach that achieves unity of effort.
  The Tsunami Relief Disaster in the Indian Ocean
  The Indian Ocean tsunami disaster-relief effort at the end of 2004 is a good example
  of interagency cooperation, collaboration, and communication. As both DOD and
  OFDA rapidly responded to the disaster areas, both realized the need for close
  cooperation and coordination. OFDA dispatched liaison officers at the tactical level to
  CMOCs operating in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Thailand, as well as at USPACOM.
  The DOD similarly embedded liaison officers at OFDA’s response management team
  in Washington, DC. These steps greatly simplified the request for assistance process
  from international organizations and NGOs and increased the ability of both
  organizations to respond effectively and quickly to those affected by the disaster.
