Summary

This restricted 234 page US military manual from 2007 is current doctrine on how to rebuild a state.

...

The focus of [Civil Affairs] is to engage the civil component of the operational environment by assessing, monitoring, protecting, reinforcing, establishing, and transitioning - both actively and passively - political, economic, and information (social and cultural) institutions and capabilities. The goal of this engagement is the achievement of U.S. national goals and objectives at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war abroad and at home.
