Taking combat arms officers and calling them civil affairs is just a name, not a capacity. (1) In November 2005, the Department of Defense (DoD) issued Directive 3000.05, Military Support for Stability, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) Operations. The directive outlines stability operations as a core DoD mission and mandates the services allocate equal priority of 'training, doctrine, organizations, education, exercises, material, leadership, personnel, facilities, and planning' to stability operations as it does to combat operations; (2) While the Marine Corps has taken steps to meet the intent of this directive, adequately prioritizing the creation of a permanent civil affairs (CA) capability is not one of them. Failure to address this critical shortfall with anything less than creation of an active duty civil affairs (CA) primary military occupational specialty (MOS) jeopardizes mission accomplishment in current and future operating environments.
