2-63. The Army stability operations tasks reflect a myriad of interrelated activities conducted across the five stability sectors. Tasks executed in one sector inevitably affect another sector; planned and executed appropriately, carefully sequenced activities complement and reinforce these effects. Achieving a specific objective or establishing certain conditions often requires performing a number of related tasks among different stability sectors. An example of this is the effort required to provide a safe, secure environment for the local populace. Rather than the outcome of a single task focused solely on the local populace, safety and security are broad effects. Military forces achieve these effects by ending hostilities, isolating belligerents and criminal elements, demobilizing armed groups, eliminating explosives and other hazards, and providing public order and safety. Sustaining security over time requires the execution of even more tasks across all the stability sectors.
