1-10. Army forces complete their tasks and redeploy on order in the least amount of time needed by civil authorities to resume providing for citizens and carry on the response. The military end state for domestic support missions is based on the capability of civil authorities to discharge their responsibilities without further military support. As soon as that threshold is achieved, commanders report it to the supported agency through the military chain of command. This does not imply a complete return to normalcy; it means that civilian resources are able continue the mission without further military support. Measures of effectiveness should be based on civilian capability to perform tasks unaided. Army forces, regardless of their duty status, plan to accomplish their tasks and hand over any remaining essential tasks or duties to appropriate civilian organizations as soon as feasible.
