Editing Reconnaissance (section)

===Civil===
Civil reconnaissance is the process of gathering a broad spectrum of civil information about a specific population in support of military operations. It is related to and often performed in conjunction with infrastructure reconnaissance (assessment and survey). Normally the focus of collection in the operational area for civil reconnaissance is collecting civil information relating to the daily interaction between civilians and military forces.  Civil information encompasses relational, temporal, geospatial and behavioral information captured in a socio-cultural backdrop.  It is information developed from data related to civil areas, structures, capabilities, organizations, people, and events, within the civil component of the commander's operational environment that can be processed to increase situational awareness and understanding. The type of civil information that is needed in order to support military operations varies based on the environment and situation.<ref>{{cite web|last=Burke|first=Kevin|title=Civil Reconnaissance; Separating the Insurgent from the Population|url=http://www.oss.net/dynamaster/file_archive/081025/85d11dcaf79e3c181386446dd4c27382/NPS%20Thesis%20on%20Civil%20Reconnaissance.pdf|publisher=NPS|access-date=29 December 2017|archive-date=22 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161222025420/http://www.oss.net/dynamaster/file_archive/081025/85d11dcaf79e3c181386446dd4c27382/NPS%20Thesis%20on%20Civil%20Reconnaissance.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Joint Publication 3-57 |url=https://fas.org/irp/doddir/dod/jp3_57.pdf |publisher=US Government|access-date=29 December 2017}}</ref>
