This guide was put together by other 38G’s going through the process.
This quick reference guide was compiled from information in Field Manual 3-57, CIVIL AFFAIRS OPERATIONS, and is not a Department of Defense Publication. The compilers developed this guide s a self-study resource to assist newly commissioned Civil Affairs 38G officers in quickly gaining familiarity with the Civil Affairs branch.
The guide follows the topical flow of FM 3-57 and summarizes each section; however, the compilers of this resource encourage readers to refer to FM 3-57 for clarification and details, and do not assume responsibility for any inaccuracies or omissions.
