> In essence we find that the Army needs CAP officers trained and equipped to give competent professional advice to commanders on how proposed military operations will advance or retard the political and economic objectives of the U.S. Government in stability operations.

> We believe that the CAP concept should be integral throughout the Army with lodgments in CofS, ODCSOPS, OCRD/ARO, COMRC, CDC, and other major commands down to division level.
