Support Area Tenant Units 09 November 2021 FM 3-81 D-5 Civil-military operations center. CA operations staff support. Military government operations. Military government operations are operations executed by civil affairs to provide expertise in the civil sector functions in order to establish transitional military authority or conduct support to civil administration (FM 3-57). While the Department of State has the lead for stabilization and reconstruction, the DOD has a requirement to support that. DODD 5100.01 directs the Army to establish military government when occupying enemy territory, and DODD 2000.13 identifies military government as a directed requirement under CA operations. Although CA forces enable military government by conducting military government operations, there is currently no overarching concept or doctrine within DOD or the Army on how to establish a transitional military authority. CA forces provide expertise in civilian sector functions that are typically the responsibility of civilian authorities to establish local government capability or to enhance its capacity. This core competency is normally executed in support of Department of State operations or when directed in the absence of other U.S. government capabilities. Military government operations include the following functions: Transitional military authority. Support to civil administration. CA supported activities. Civil affairs supported activities are activities in which civil affairs plays a key planning, coordinating or synchronizing role, but for which they are not the proponent or primary executor (FM 3-57). CA supported activities are comprised of the following functions: Foreign assistance. Foreign humanitarian assistance. Populace and resources control. Civil-military engagement. D-5. Table D-4 provides an overview of CA units, planning requirements, and capabilities for units that may be task-organized to the support area designated land owner or tenant unit of the corps or division support area.
