  • adult literacy and career development,

  • Long-term patriotism and local development are the true returns on the investment in the people as a kind of nation-building.
  • As part of the original operational planning, future civil-military operations must incorporate a system for measuring the effect of operations on the health and other developmental characteristics of the civilian population.
  • Early in the planning stages for such operations, planners must also create a potential strategic communications plan, which includes a thorough audience analysis.
