Civil-military operations center

Often, it also serves as a central location for information on civilian related activities in the area or maintains the status of the infrastructure or institutions.

Humanitarian operations involving multiple international organizations often use other terms for a CMOC, such as combined coordination center.

These centers seek to achieve coordination and unity of effort among organizations delivering humanitarian aid during disaster relief.

During the Iraq War, the U.S. Marines operated a CMOC near the city of Fallujah outside of the MEK Compound.

At the F.L.T., Marines supported by U.S. Navy Seabees developed and managed reconstruction projects with local contractors.
