Civil Affairs

This summer I joined my first reserve unit. For the past 4 years I was picking up odd jobs in the reserves. The nice part of the reserves is you get to be your own career planner. So thinking it was time to join the weekend a month, two weeks a year bunch, I went out and joined 4th Civil Affairs Group. 4th CAG is located at the Anacostia Annex on Bolling AFB in DC. Presently I am the Executive Officer of a Detachment.

Civil Affairs supports and advises commanders in their Civil-Military Operations. This is the basic facilitation of the military and indigenous relationships. It can best be summed up in the below picture.
