British Army – Joint Civil Military Co-operation Group (JCG)
http://www.army.mod.uk/cimic/index.htm
The Joint CIMIC Group (JCG) is a specialist Unit that manages the interface between military and civilian organisations wherever British Forces are deployed on Operations. It functions across the whole spectrum of military operations: from warfighting to peacekeeping, emergency disaster relief and reconstruction. In principle, the JCG ensures the military and civilian communities co‑operate closely to attain maximum efficiency in achieving their aims. The majority of the JCG are reservists who hold civilian jobs and whose skills can be utilised for civil-military liaison and specialist consultancy.
