Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) involves military commanders establishing connections with civilian agencies in operational theaters.

History

The U.S. Army has maintained civil affairs units since WWII.[1] Part of their function includes CIMIC tasks. However, they have a much broader function and a different focus from most other CIMIC organizations. In the mid-1990s most NATO members began developing their own CIMIC structures, which lead to the establishment of the Civil-Military Cooperation Centre of Excellence in The Hague in 2001.[2] Germany maintains its own centre.[3]
