Implications.
Failure to attain an active force size for CA that enables constant interaction with
combat arms commanders/staffs and continual demonstration of the relevance of
Civil Affairs perpetuates the capability remaining outside the threshold of combat
arms commanders/staffs’ concern and culture. Such failure hinders the entire
CA Branch.
