Unified Land Operations
How the Army seizes, retains, and exploits the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations through simultaneous offensive, defensive, and stability operations in order to prevent or deter conflict, prevail in war, and create the conditions for favorable conflict resolution.

With Defeat or Stability Mechanisms How Friendly Forces Accomplish the Mission
Stability mechanism – Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 3-0 Operations
The primary method through which friendly forces affect civilians in order to attain conditions that support establishing a lasting, stable peace.
*Usually used in Wide Area Security. As with defeat mechanisms, combinations of stability mechanisms produce complementary and reinforcing effects that accomplish the mission more effectively and efficiently than single mechanisms do alone.
Influence involves altering the opinions and attitudes of the host-nation population through inform and influence activities, presence, and conduct.
Support involves establishing, reinforcing, or setting the conditions necessary for the other instruments of national power to function effectively; coordinating and cooperating closely with hostnation civilian agencies; and assisting aid organizations as necessary to secure humanitarian access to vulnerable populations.
Compel involves maintaining the threat—or actual use—of lethal force to establish control and dominance, effect behavioral change, or enforce cessation of hostilities, peace agreements, or other arrangements.
Control involves establishing public order and safety; securing borders, routes, sensitive sites, population centers, and individuals; and physically occupying key terrain and facilities.
The combination of stability tasks conducted during operations depends on the situation. In some operations, the host nation can meet most or all of the population’s requirements. In those cases, Army forces work with and through host-nation authorities. Commanders use civil affairs operations to mitigate
how the military presence affects the populace and vice versa. Conversely, Army forces operating in a failed state may need to support the well-being of the local populace. That situation requires Army forces to work with civilian organizations to restore basic capabilities. Again, civil affairs operations prove essential in establishing trust between Army forces and civilian organizations required for effective, working relationships.

2. CA Mission
MISSION
1-1. The mission of CA forces is to is to mitigate or defeat threats to civil society and conduct responsibilities normally performed by civil governments across the range of military operations by engaging and influencing the civil populace and authorities through the planning and conducting of CAO, or to enable CMO, to shape the civil environment and set the conditions for military operations. CA forces plan, prepare for, execute, assess, and transition CAO at all levels of war. Joint Publication (JP) 3-57, Civil-Military Operations, states Civil Affairs forces are designated Active and Reserve Component forces and units organized, trained, and equipped specifically to conduct civil affairs operations and to support civil-military operations. As defined, CA refers to the force structure—Soldiers, teams, staff personnel, and units. CA forces conduct CAO supported by other forces. CAO support the JFC’s CMO intent and are synchronized with the supported commander’s operational concept.
1-2. CA forces support unified land operations in every environment across the range of military operations. During unified land operations, CA forces conduct CAO that support and are nested within the overall mission and commander’s intent. CAO are a cornerstone to the successful execution of stability tasks.
