Summary	This project for US Army Special Warfare Center and School on military support to governance is proposed to support professionalization of the Special Operations Civil Affairs Forces and the wider community of Civil Affairs practitioners. The project design creates a multi-stakeholder dialogue and analysis of requirements and competencies and fosters greater community understanding of current issues and trends in military support to governance: provision of essential services, civil security, rule of law, governance, economy and infrastructure, and homeland integration. We will analyze required expertise qualifications, human behavior dynamics in support of conflict prevention and mitigation, and technological enablers for stability and peace building. The project aims to enable Special Operations soldiers to more effectively operate in the civil dimension of military operations across the spectrum of conflict.
