4-40. Phase 0 is continuous situational awareness and preparedness. Key tasks during this phase are: planning, preparedness for assigned/allocated forces, training, coordination with Federal and State partners, and public affairs outreach. The shape phase includes missions, tasks, and actions that deter adversaries and assure friends, as well as establish conditions for possible DSCA contingencies. Shape activities are continuous. The combatant commander uses them to improve mutual trust and working relationships among the various organizations potentially providing support to DSCA operations. The theater army integrates landpower within theater engagement plans and cooperation with other civilian activities. Integrating landpower requires the theater army to train and prepare assigned forces for operations as well as to coordinate training and readiness requirements with the Service force providers. Integrating landpower also includes extending the signal and network and establishing the network that supports operations by the joint force land component. Notably, these continuous working relationships persist throughout the AOR even as the primary effort within the geographic combatant command shifts during phase zero to the conduct of a campaign in a portion of the AOR.
