0501: Tactical CIMIC Support to Operations

CIMIC support to tactical operations is a critical part of ANA CIMIC. It requires deliberate and planned interaction by the ANA with civil actors, local governance, and the populace.

This includes, in cooperation with other military functions: Civil Situation Awareness Gain local support for the ANSF Influencing the civil society in the AOR Small-scale CIMIC programs Facilitate access to civilian resources, when needed



0502: How CIMIC Missions Support the ANSF Operation 1/4

Application of CIMICCommanders, depending on the circumstances, will require significant support from within their AOR as well as coordination of effort to minimize disruption to military operations. For that reason, CIMIC is proactive by contributing to operations planning and participating in operations.

CIMIC staffs are fully integrated into their respective HQ, have full vision of and are authorized to coordinate CIMIC activities and projects in the AO

CIMIC activities form an integral part of the ANA commander’s plan, contributes to his mission and is related to implementing the overall strategy and achieving a stable and sustainable end state

ANA will seek to accommodate and support the activities of civil actors in achieving the agreed, shared end state

CIMIC activities, as projects or other development activities are conducted with the purpose of transitioning responsibilities to the appropriate civil organizations or local authorities in a timely manner.




The Aim and Purpose of CIMIC 1/2

The aim and purpose of CIMIC is the interaction between military and civil actors within a comprehensive environment to support the military commander’s plan.

Ideally, all actors will work to a common objective, but where this is not possible; this interaction will ensure that activities to support each plan are harmonized as far as possible.

This will minimize interference or unintended conflict between all actors. This interaction might consist of, but is not limited to, coordination, cooperation, mutual support, coherent joint planning and information exchange, and covering the political mandate.

It includes ANA, sub-national and national governance, and civil actors.



The Aim and Purpose of CIMIC 2/2

CIMIC is applicable to all types of ANSF operations. In all conceivable scenarios, commanders are increasingly required to take into account political, social, economic, cultural, religious, environmental, and humanitarian factors when planning and conducting their operations (See Figure 2-1).

Furthermore, commanders recognize that operational areas contain the presence of a large number of civil actors with their own mandate, aims, methods, principles, structures, roles and perspectives, that might have implications for operations and vice versa. The context and profile of CIMIC will alter according to the nature of the crisis or operation.

0503: Conducting Humanitarian Assistance 1/5

Humanitarian Assistance (HA) must be used in a practical and effective manner with the purpose of achieving the Commander’s objectives and end state. There are many important considerations, planning factors, and constraints to be taken into account.



The delivery of HA must support the tactical operation and specific objectives

Supplying HA is a good way to improve the image of the ANSF among the Afghan people, and therefore increase trust between the people and the legitimate government

HA helps counter insurgent propaganda about the ANSF not caring about people, about GIRoA ineffectiveness, and counters insurgent claims about the ANSF being anti-Muslim

HA is consistent with Islamic principles and Afghan culture. It supports one of the pillars of Islam, that of giving alms and support to the needy. This is something all Afghans will support




HA use must be planned carefully and in advance.

Planning must take into consideration Logistics Locations Security Key Leaders Measures of Performance (MOPs) Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs)

HA requires the active coordination of Various staff sections Units Key leaders and populations NGOs and IOs

0504: Conducting Civil Liaison in Support of Missions 1/4

It is important to identify an appropriate CIMIC liaison and co-ordination architecture at all levels during operations in support of both conflict and crisis response missions.

At the tactical level there is scope for a great deal of confusion and duplication of effort if liaison responsibility is not mapped out appropriately to underpin the mission.

Civil military liaison demands a special set of skills (e.g. negotiation, mediation and interview techniques, and communications theory and practice) that need to be addressed, trained, and enhanced to enable successful performance of CIMIC.




SECTION 1 - KEY CIMIC ACTIVITY The CIMIC Liaison and Co-ordination Architecture must be flexible and tailored to the

mission and the situation.

It must provide appropriate guidance to formations and units at all levels and have clear areas of responsibility. Key areas of CIMIC activity that specifically relate to liaison and co-ordination are highlighted below:

Direct liaison to Key Civil Bodies Direct Liaison to HN Visibility over Areas of Mutual Activity Visibility of CEP Status and Capabilities Identify Key Capability Gaps Credible and Authoritative Link to the Military POC for Requests for Military Support Military Advice to Key Civil Bodies




SECTION 2 - KEY PRINCIPLES OF CIMIC LIAISON

Single Source of Liaison

Continuity

Quality of Liaison Staff

Two Way Information Flow




SECTION 3 - LIAISON & CO-ORDINATION ARCHITECTURE MATRIX In order to visualise the appropriate liaison and co-ordination architecture

that needs to be established, a matrix showing liaison activity relative to the level of military command is recommended

The matrix aims to show the bodies with whom liaison is required and at what level this should be conducted

A liaison and co-ordination matrix can be as simple or as complex as necessary to meet the requirement



0505: Conducting Support to Civil Actors as Part of Military Missions

Within a comprehensive approach, military support to civil actors and their environment will generally be conducted if required to create conditions supportive for the accomplishment of the military mission.

They may include a wide spectrum of resources such as Information Personnel Material Equipment Communications facilities Specialist expertise or training

Enabling this is a role of CIMIC and it may be executed by all elements of the military. The preferred approach to providing support is in the following order:

1st - Enabling support by means of capacity building 2nd - Support by means of capacity sharing 3rd - Support by military means only (as a last resort)



0505a: Supporting Local Leaders and Populace 1/2

Establish and maintain liaison with local leaders and the populace at the appropriate levels facilitating Cooperation

Harmonization

Information sharing

Integrated planning and conduct of operations



0505a: Supporting Local Leaders and Populace 2/2

Identify and explain military goals, objectives, and concepts of operation as necessary to selected civil actors, while keeping within appropriate OPSEC and classified material release guidance

Facilitate concurrent, parallel, and where possible integrated planning between the ANA, ANP, NDS, and friendly civil actors

Integrate with other staff branches on all aspects of operations

Continuously evaluate the operational environment, including local needs and capability gaps to determine requirements and to resolve issues

Work towards a timely and smooth transition of responsibilities to the proper civil authorities

Advise the commander on all of the above

Share information with all staff branches



0505b: Coordinating with Civil Ministries 1/4

CIMIC is to interact with the appropriate civil actors on behalf of the respective ANA commander to accomplish the mission. This is always the main task of CIMIC during any and all phases of

operations.

An awareness and acceptance at all levels, especially by middle and high level decision makers (to include General Staff, Ministry of Defense and other line ministries) is crucial for a robust and sustainable national CIMIC function.




Inter-ministerial coordination between MoD and MoI primarily is conducted during the weekly G-3 Security Shuras.

IDLG and other non-security ministries should be encouraged to participate in these weekly meetings.

Inter-ministerial coordination is governed by the Afghan CMI/CIMIC Policy, which sets the framework for CIMIC on the operational and tactical level.

CIMIC staffs should ensure that a close relationship is established and maintained.




Afghan independent departments or ministries, Province and District Governors, their offices, and the Ministries’ line department representatives (SNG: PGOs, DGOs, and PLDs) should conduct routine strategic level participation in inter-ministerial coordination




Key partners for SNG and CMI/CIMIC are:

IDLG Independent Directorate of Local Governance – responsible for employing and managing subnational governance employees

MRRD Ministry of Reconstruction and Rural Development – responsible for managing reconstruction and development programs

MoPW Ministry of Public Works

MoF Ministry of Finance

MoEc Ministry of Economy

MAIL Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock

MoE Ministry of Education

MoPH Ministry of Public Health

IARCSC (or CSC) Independent Administrative Reform and Civil Service Commission – manages merit based hiring for Afghan government.

0506a: Making Civil Information a Regular Part Of Military Planning

CIMIC in Planning. At the operational and at the tactical level, planning follows a specific operational-level or tactical level planning process in support of determining what information is necessary to accomplish the mission.

In an operational appreciation and assessment process: the broad direction of CIMIC is determined as well as critical issues are identified.

During operational concept development: CIMIC contributes to operational design and the description of decisive conditions, decisive points, and operational objectives.

CIMIC objectives and CIMIC personnel requirements are identified CIMIC contributes specific concerns to each course of action development CIMIC operational Risks are identified objectives and incorporated into the overall

plan
