Abstract

Commanders perform a variety non-combat tasks for which they engage civilian actors. These dyad engagements are contingent on the nature of the military units and stratified according to rank. The commanders' relationship with civilians appear pragmatic and un-institutionalised given language difficulties and short deployment horizons. Commanders understand local politics and employ strategies towards building social capital with formal and informal civilian leaders alike. Their relationship with local authorities is nuanced by interdependency in resources, communications and rules. They have limited engagement with humanitarian actors and media.

CIMIC is different from Civil Affairs which provides guidance in dealing between the military and the civilian population. Civil Affairs is focused on military needs, and its intent is to gain support from civilians towards mission completion [3].
