What does the assessment of structures include in civilian considerations?

The assessment of structures in civilian considerations focuses primarily on infrastructure and facilities because these elements play a crucial role in understanding the operational environment. Infrastructure includes critical systems such as transportation networks, utilities, communication systems, and public services, which can significantly impact military operations. Understanding these elements helps to identify available resources, assess their condition, and plan for effective interaction with civilian authorities and populations.

In addition, the evaluation of facilities, such as schools, hospitals, and government buildings, is essential for ensuring that military actions do not unintentionally harm civilian interests or disrupt local communities. Overall, this assessment supports the mission's broader goals of maintaining stability and protecting civilians during military operations.
