5. 0302b: Determining What Information to Gather 1/3 • 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.

6. 0302b: Determining What Information to Gather 2/3 • CIMIC in Execution • Must meet the mission end state and objectives. Therefore, CIMIC field work must contribute to creating, influencing, and sustaining operational objectives with the use of CIMIC principles. • Projects • CIMIC and intelligence • Civil emergency planning

7. 0302b: Determining What Information to Gather 3/3 • Resourcing and Financing CIMIC activities • Funding for projects is best obtained through close coordination and communication with the NSMs.  • This requires participation in the annual budget process. • Once a project is identified, the proper NSM needs to be identified and an initial proposal presented for NSM action.  • Coordination should start at the lowest level of the NSM such as district or provincial level and then elevate to the Ministerial level when appropriate support has been gained. 

8. 0302c: How Civil Situational Awareness supports ANSF Operations 1/3 • The responsibility of the Information Officer (IO) is to collect and update civil information. The civil information process develops benefits useful to the ANSF. • Advantages gained are: • Contacts and Relationship with the population and key leaders • Enhanced quality of understanding the civil environment • Ability to avoid actions that could damage relationships between the population, ANSF, & GIRoA. • Facilitates planning future operations

9. 0302c: How Civil Situational Awareness supports ANSF Operations 2/3 • During Steady-State Operations • Civil information assists the ANA in designing nonlethal actions during steady-state operations supporting campaign objectives. • Examples include: • actions in support of the reintegration program • IO activities in support of ANSF security operations • Maintaining relations with key leaders, elders, mullahs, and scholars • Regular interaction and maintaining such relations facilitates trust and an improved image for the ANSF

10. 0302c: How Civil Situational Awareness supports ANSF Operations 3/3 • During Named Operations • Having accurate civil information, along with relationships with the local populace and key leaders, allows the conduct of nonlethal actions that support tactical objectives during named operations. Examples and benefits are: • Facilitates troop movements and actions in support of operations • Saves critical amounts of time • Facilitates improved tactical successes • Enhances the quality of information in support of the development of intelligence

12. 0303a: Definition of Civil Reconnaissance • Civil Reconnaissance (CR) is a targeted, planned, and coordinated observation and evaluation of those specific civil aspects of the environment. CR focuses specifically on the civil component, the elements of which are best represented by the mnemonics PMESII and ASCOPE.

13. 0303b: Potential Sources of Civil Information • Potential sources of civil information that a coordinated CR plan considers include: • Ongoing PMESII / ASCOPE assessments of the AO that identify MOE trends • Identified unknowns in civil information • CA interaction with indigenous populations and institutions (IPI)
