U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Dustin Winkelman, Team 3, Charlie Company, 407th Civil Affairs Battalion medic, forward deployed from Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, discusses the PMESII-ASCOPE Crosswalk with a small group of Burundi National Defense Force soldiers at Gukumba Training Area in Bujumbura, Burundi, Sept. 11, 2014. The soldiers participated in the two-week civil military cooperation engagement intended to enhance the understanding of counter insurgency and civil military operations in preparation for their support of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). The chart they are creating is a way to assess the operational environment by looking at the political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure, area, structures, capabilities, organizations, people, and events in a simple visual aide.
