Army experience in Korea demonstrates, as it has elsewhere, the need for preparedness in the handling of civil affairs. Technique in some respects, the experience does reflect aspects of the problems likely to be encountered elsewhere. The study of civil affairs operations in Korea, conducted by ORO in 1951, reveals the following: (1) the need to negotiate civil affairs agreements during the early stages of conflict, providing those controls over the internal affairs of the combat areas that are necessary to attain the military and political objectives; (2) the inseparability of military command and civil affairs responsibilities, and the importance of both a single focus of responsibility within the Army for all civil affairs functions, and a single point of contact within the Army for relationships with governments of the operational areas; (3) The need for officers qualified in civil affairs functions, including officers skilled in the language of the area; and (4) the need to alert commanders and other military personnel to the important of civil affairs in attaining military and political objectives.
