Civil Affairs Specialist
Civil Affairs Soldiers operate in teams in support of both conventional and special operations forces. Civil Affairs specialists identify critical requirements needed by local citizens in combat or crisis situations. They also locate civil resources to support military operations, mitigate non-combatant injury or incident, minimize civilian interference with military operations, facilitate humanitarian assistance activities, and establish and maintain communication with civilian aid agencies and organizations.
Civil Affairs Specialists are primarily responsible for researching, coordinating, conducting and participating in the planning and production of civil affairs related documents, while enabling the civil-military operations of the supported commander. Some of your duties as a Civil Affairs Specialist may include:
- Help plan U.S. government interagency procedures for national or regional emergencies
- Assist with civil-military planning and support
- Coordinate military resources to support reconstitution or reconstruction activities
- Support national disaster, defense or emergency assistance and response activities
- Foster and maintain dialogue with civilian aid agencies and civilian relief and assistance organizations
- Establish mechanisms for emergency coordination and administration where political-economic structures have been incapacitated
- Provide emergency coordination and administration where political-economic structures have been incapacitated
