Morever he goes on to stress, that where a military officer IS in Command, his right hand man "might be a police officer."
Additionally, both these diagrams refer to "Provincial" Command levels, not National. Page 110 actually uses the example of a Police inspector running the intelligence cell at the District level. This is all classic UK COIN/CRW.
Yes, the Army runs or may help run intelligence operations, especially rurally, to enable police operations. It is Aid to the civil power, not substitution for it
That the Army sets up the C2 for the committee system, does not mean you have soldiers running schools or doing anything non-military, apart from standard security tasks. The summary on Page 81 is pretty good.
Teaching school? Can't find it.
The Baby Milk thing reference someone else's work, not Kitson's, and is talking about co-option. In fact it merely means rewarding the behaviour your policy has sought to induce. EG: "You, the population, are responsible for helping keeping the peace."
