Answer 11

1) Support commander by providing a forum in which CA Marines and civilian planners analyze the civilian component of an AO. Establishes for TWO PRIMARY REASONS (FOOTSTOMP):

- > to foster successful interagency coordination inherent in all operations and planning
2) A CMOC must be managed under a specific task and purpose
3) G-9 or S-9 staff officer monitors the daily operations of the CMOC and advises the commander on CMO and the employment of CA assets
4) The CMOC keeps the G-3 or S-3 advised of how CMO are providing the desired effects in support of the military operation

6) Ensure CMO efforts are synchronized and coordinated with other related staff functions such as Public Affairs
7) MISO can be integrated with civil military operations activities to increase support for the HN government and reduce support to destabilizing forces.

If the HN already operates a facility it may be best to establish a liaison within that facility, which legitimizes the effort of the lead organization and facilitates disengagement of US forces during transition and redeployment from the operation
