Introduction to Civil Support

Civil Support can be used to manage events, missions, personnel, and resources during a military response in support of civilian authorities.

It provides an integrated suite of role-based apps that help military personnel (for example, administration, operations, logistics, and leadership) create, manage, and review a response effort as it progresses through its life cycle. Civil Support is typically implemented by the National Guard and other Department of Defense branches that want to leverage a system of integrated solutions designed to create, manage, and review missions along with the associated personnel and resources needed to fulfill them.​

The Civil Support solution delivers a set of capabilities that help the National Guard manage missions, allocate personnel and resources, and communicate status to internal stakeholders.
