objectives, campaign plans, constraints, limitations, resources, caveats, timelines
and priorities for the specific mission.
2. Establish and/or invite representation to each board, cell, working group, and
staff section meeting to maintain transparency, collaboration, and unified action.
3. If applicable, civ-mil leadership should conduct battlefield circulation with
representatives from the JIIM team in order to address subordinate unit requests
for information and understanding.
4. Mandate and establish development specific training venues and professional
development forums during home station training, pre-deployment preparation,
and combat training center (CTC) experiences.
Implications.
Without fully understanding the roles, functions, goals, objectives, campaign
plans, constraints, limitations, resources, caveats, timelines and priorities of each
contributing organization of the civ-mil team, the following could occur:
1. The USG, the U.S. military, the JIIM contributing members, and NGOs will not
achieve unified action.
2. Instead of establishing trust, transparency and collaboration, friction, mistrust,
avoidance, and development fratricide will set in, as each organization reverts to
a stove-piped approach vice a unified approach.
3. The affected nation, region, and population will be denied both timely assis-
tance and the full benefits of the civ-mil unified effort.
