ATP 3-57.60 Civil Affairs Planning – 2024 – Mini size

Civil Affairs (CA) forces support missions in every theater and in competition, crisis, and armed conflict. ATP 3-57.60, Civil Affairs Planning, illustrates CA planning across the range of military operations. It is critical that CA elements at all echelons properly plan and execute Civil Affairs operations (CAO) to enhance the supported commander’s operational success. From the basic principles of CAO planning through determination of measures of effectiveness and measures of performance, this manual outlines and provides Army techniques for CAO.

The commander is responsible for planning, and it is the CAO planner’s responsibility to apply the commander’s vision as it relates to all the aspects of civil considerations. It is also applicable to the Army’s leaders, which includes officers and noncommissioned officers that command Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanding U.S. forces at all levels of warfare. In addition, ATP 3-57.60 gives credible information to the civilian leaders of the United States.
