Revision 383062 of "Civil-Military_Co-operation" on enwiki

The '''Civil-Military Co-operation (CIMIC)''' unit of the [[Canada|Canadian]] contingent of [[ISAF]] in [[Kabul]], [[Afghanistan]] is responsible for infrastructure and reconstruction projects in the region.

Acting very much like a [[Provincial Reconstruction Team]], CIMIC builds schools and fixes roads and bridges. However, unlike a PRT, CIMIC only hires and supervises local people to do the work, with little hands-on involvement in projects. Also unlike a PRT, CIMIC maintains tactical perspective. 

They are led by Maj. [[Steve Whelan]]. Members of the unit are housed at [[Camp Julien]].
