Civil-miltitary operations are operations conducted before, during, or after a military operation which may deal with the civil structure or infrastructure of the local populace. Our military ring customers in Iraq and Afghanistan are conducting many of these type operations in the conduct of those wars. Some examples of civil-military operations would be setting up [...]
