AREA SECURITY MISSIONS<br />
Stability Operations<br />
5-21. The troop may be tasked to conduct an area security mission as part of stability operations. Most area<br />
security missions are focused on securing the local population. The focus may be on the population centers<br />
in the DRT AOs and establishing a secure environment for the population. The same urban centers will also<br />
be the focus of the enemy to counter the <strong>Army</strong> and host nation presence and to influence the local<br />
population.<br />

missions are to be expected.<br />
