4-187. Building cohesive teams and creating shared understanding together with all partners in unified action are key challenges for DSCA. Effective commanders use collaboration and dialogue to build relationships and achieve shared goals. They use their commander's intent to guide the disciplined initiative of Soldiers. Commander's intent is a clear and concise expression of the purpose of the operation and the desired military end state that supports mission command, provides focus to the staff, and helps subordinate and supporting commanders act to achieve the commander's desired results without further orders, even when the operation does not unfold as planned (JP 3-0). When establishing their commander's intent, commanders keep in mind the three overarching purposes as well as the end state of missions—that civilians can return to self-sufficiency and carry on without military support. However, this does not mean that team building is limited to the duration of a crisis. Effective interorganizational coordination depends on collaboration, relationships, and training before, during, and after incidents.
