Here are some tips, but better if you PM me with some specific questions.
Some links with material that can be useful:
On the Civil Military Coordination:
http://ochaonline.un.org/?TabId=1274
http://www.odihpn.org/report.asp?ID=3133 (a nice article)
http://www.unjlc.org/tools/FOM/suppo...%20Concept.pdf (a draft of the full concept paper)
http://www.europa-eu-un.org/articles...le_2486_en.htm (Link to the EU approach and handbook)
I would also recommend you to include some stuff on the military command and communication lines as well. Just to make sure that people you train know where to go and who to speak to and do not bother everybody looking for the dam unknown officer in charge of that unknown project just because they ask for the PSY guy who works on the schools while they look for the CIMIC officer.
I think that can be a good introduction course to the complex dimension of humanitarian/civil action in conflict areas and the diversity of military actors the trainee will have to deal with:
- Parties of the conflict,
- Conventional troops
- Non conventional/insurgents troops,
- UN TCC
- National army
- External powers
- Civil administration
- UN agencies
- UN mission
- NGO
Then I would suggest you to go to the ICRC web site to get all documentation on the Humanitarian Laws and treaties.
You will also find a tremendous amount of material to illustrate almost any subject.
The MSF web site is also very good
http://www.msf.org/
http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/
A more US oriented approach will be found at CARE and IRC web sites
www.care.org
www.theirc.org
Naturally, you will have plenty doc available at USAID and OFDA sites.
Strangely, I would recommend you to use the US army doctrine for stabilization handbook to introduce all the complexity of the civilian and military common objectives and opposing points of view. This will allow you to introduce softly the problematic of State requirements in stabilization versus the NGO peace building approach.
Great material is naturally: GUIDE TO REBUILDING GOVERNANCE IN STABILITY OPERATIONS: A ROLE FOR THE MILITARY?

That was discussed a lot in SWJ. Wonderful starting point that gives you many entry points for all the practical approach.
