text: Operations Structure
  * Advise and assist in strengthening or stabilizing civil infrastructures and services.
  * Facilitate transition to peacekeeping or consolidation operations and associated hand-off to other
  government agencies, international organizations, or host-nation responsibility.
  4-128. The CA task force, during competition, enables interactions between military and interagency
  groups, and interorganizational partners to—
  * Respond to humanitarian needs.
  * Provide disaster relief.
  * Build partner nation capacity and partner nation governance.
  4-129. The majority of efforts of the CA task force during competition are completed under 22 USC
  authority or in support of the civil-military engagement (CME) mission of USSOCOM.
  4-130. CA elements, from company through CACOM, retain the ability to form the backbone of CA task
  forces in order to enhance a supported commander’s mission of stabilization. TG, CNDE, CKI, and CMI are
  essential to effective stabilization efforts. As such, a CA task force empowers the commander with proactive
  and responsive CAO leading to consolidated gains and preservation of combat power for the supported
  commander to use in offensive or defensive operations elsewhere in the AO.
  4-131. CA task forces are capable of command and control over CA forces and partner elements needed
  to—
  * Increase governance capacity.
  * Increase civil security.
  * Increase civil control.
  * Restore essential services.
  * Respond to humanitarian needs.
  4-132. When working in joint environments, CA elements also maintain the ability to form the backbone
  of a JCMOTF. As a supporting commander, the CA task force commander ascertains and fulfills the needs
  of the supported commander within the imposed parameters. The CA task force commander determines the
  type of force, employment, and procedures to accomplish the support.
  JOINT CIVIL-MILITARY OPERATIONS TASK FORCE
  4-133. The JCMOTF is a special-purpose task force made up of units from two or more Services. JFCs may
  establish a JCMOTF when the scope of CMO requirements and activities are beyond the organic capability
  of the JFC. The JCMOTF is flexible in size and composition.
  4-134. CA commands and brigades can be task organized to form the core of a JCMOTF, and although it
  is not strictly a CA organization, a CA officer may command the JCMOTF. The JCMOTF will also most
  likely have CA units as subordinate elements. The JCMOTF plans, prepares, executes, and continually
  assesses CMO in a theater of operations or joint operations area. The expertise of CA personnel in dealing
  with government organizations, international organizations, NGOs, and IPI, greatly enhances the opportunity
  for success. A JCMOTF may have both conventional forces and SOF assigned or attached to support the
  conduct of specific missions. If the JFC properly charters and establishes the JCMOTF, it must meet the
  criteria established in JP 3-33.
