Conditions: As a Civil Affairs (CA) noncommissioned officer (NCO) at the team, company, or battalion level conducting Civil Affairs operations within
a deployed operational environment. You have been provided with a computer, mapping program, analog mapping systems, and necessary geospatial
data supplies. The CA NCO is required to produce a geospatial representation of the civil component of the operational environment. The CA NCO has
access to civil-military information sharing architecture and the higher echelons CKI sections. Some iterations of this task should be performed in MOPP
4.
Standards: Produce a geospatial representation of the civil component of the operational environment, without error, while utilizing the "GO" and
"NO-GO" criteria for this task and FM 3-57.
Special Conditions: None
Safety Risk: Low
MOPP 4: Sometimes

Cue: None
DANGER
Leaders have an inherent responsibility to conduct Risk Management to ensure the safety of all soldiers and
promote mission accomplishment.
WARNING
When mission necessities make it impossible to avoid stress and fatigue, leaders must be prepared to
implement effective and validated countermeasures to safeguard Army personnel and set conditions for
mission success.
CAUTION
Identifying hazards and controlling risks across the range of military operations of Army functions, operations,
and activities is the responsibility of all soldiers.
Remarks: None
Notes: None

Performance Steps
1. Identify civil information from Civil Affairs assessments, civil-military information sharing architecture, or civil reconnaissance reports.
Note: The operational variables are, political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure, physical terrain, and time (PMESII-PT) and the
civil considerations of area, structures, capabilities, organizations, people and events (ASCOPE).
2. Determine which PMESII operational variable and civil considerations (ASCOPE) that best describe the category to which the civil information
belongs and annotate them.

3. Determine military grid reference system (MGRS) coordinate location for each identified element of the civil component of the operational
environment.
4. Develop overlay legend according to unit standard operating procedure (SOP).
5. Plot information on civil considerations overlay using the MGRS.
6. Mark overlay.

b. Date-time group.
c. Map reference.

(4) Map scale.
d. Additional information.
e. Security classification.
f. Legend.
g. Point of contact and organization.
7. Submit geospatial overlay according to unit SOP.
(Asterisks indicates a leader performance step.)
Evaluation Guidance: Score the Soldier "GO" if all performance measures are passed. Score the Soldier "NO-GO" if any performance measure
is failed. If the Soldier scores a "NO-GO", show the Soldier what was done wrong and how to do it correctly.
Evaluation Preparation: Setup: Ensure that all information, references, equipment, and role players required to perform the task are available.
Use the performance measures and the references to score the Soldier's performance. Brief the Soldier. Tell the Soldier what is required to do IAW task
conditions and standards.

Environment: Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning.
Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training
resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to the current Environmental Considerations manual and the current
GTA Environmental-related Risk Assessment card. Refer to ATP 3-34.5 Environmental Considerations and GTA 05-08-002 Environmental-Related Risk
Assessment.
Safety: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with current Risk Management Doctrine. Leaders will
complete the current Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet in accordance with the TRADOC Safety Officer during the planning and completion of each
task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations, (METT-TC).
Note: During MOPP training, leaders must ensure personnel are monitored for potential heat injury. Local policies and procedures must be followed
during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the MOPP work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW
current CBRN doctrine. (ATP 3-11.32, Multi-service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear
Protection)
