Although CA might be a great option for your daughter in the future. It is not a basic branch. She would need to commission in another branch for her years as an LT. When she is promoted to CPT she can apply for the CA selection course.

I was in aviation, armor, budget, national disaster preparedness so I will try to do my best. I believe the mission of CA is wide and deep. Here are some key tasks:

- Working with natives to gain their support: This will entail trust, possibly money, nation building, supporting the natives, providing security, and improving their lives.
- Nation building: This entails building infrastructure, institutions, facilities, training. When we demolished Iraq, there were no police, firemen, military, schools, libraries, the list can be infinite.
- Good governance: We had to teach democracy to the Iraqis and show them good practices. The Iraqis were so ensconced in sectarianism and tribalism that it posed a challenge to standing up a democratic government.
- National disaster preparedness and mitigation by engaging communities and facilitating interagency communications and coordinations.

I think these are the 4 biggies.

There will be supporting tasks like information, intelligence, budgetary, metrics based reporting and operations.

If I am wrong, I would expect folks to correct me.

MAJ Seymore was on target with that info. Have to volunteer for the selection course. Or - if she gets out of RA after her requirement is completed - she can go CA in a USAR unit. CA, PSYOP. and SF are all non-basic branch career field Officer branches.
