Engagement
The joint functions are a framework that provides the commander and staff a means to visualize the activities of the force and to ensure all aspects of the operation are addressed. They are a point of reference, as well as a description of the capabilities of the force. The commander needs to consider the joint functions, both when determining the capabilities required for a joint force and when conducting the operation.
CIMIC is recognized as one of the Joint Functions ( do not confuse with combat functions)
Combined Communication and Engagement is within the framework of STRATCOM the military integrated CIMIC, InfoOps and PsyOps approach, to achieve mutually complementary effects.

Relevance and Competence
One Option
Combined arms is an approach to warfare which seeks to integrate different combat arms of a military to achieve mutually complementary effects.
Combined Communication and Engagement is within the framework of STRATCOM the military integrated CIMIC, InfoOps and PsyOps approach, to achieve mutually complementary effects.

8. Combined Communication and Engagement
CIMIC/CMI Vision 2025
Relevance and Competence
One Option
Combined Communication and Engagement
CIMIC is still an independent, joint capability (G9/A9/N9/J9 branch)
CIMIC personnel needs CIMIC training to gain the needed SME status.
A unified command structure is possible. (Example combined arms – Brigades/Divisions)
STRATCOM formulates the narrative, but doesn’t own the capabilities (B2 Bomber is a capable STRATCOM tool, but belongs to the Airforce)
