## Preface

SCOPE
This handbook provides guidance for planning and conducting land operations requiring the close coordination of Army forces and Marine Corps forces under the control of a joint force land component commander within a joint operations area. It presents considerations and options that joint force commanders can employ when designating a joint force land component commander and describes the authority and responsibilities of a joint force land component commander.

PURPOSE
This handbook describes guidance for establishing the command relationship based on the joint force commander's concept of operations. It addresses formation, functions, and organization of the joint force land component commander. It also discusses the operational questions of who, what, when, and how of operations in support of major operations or campaigns by a joint force commander. It is not the intent of this handbook to supplant approved joint doctrine; nor is it the intent to restrict the authority of the joint force commander from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner he deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall mission.

APPLICATION
The guidance in this handbook applies to combatant commanders, sub-joint task forces, and subordinate components of these commands. This handbook is used for guidance and reference only. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of joint publications, the joint publications will take precedence for the activities of joint forces.

## Chapter I Authority And Functions Of Joint Force Land Component Commander

SCOPE
I-i. This handbook is designed for planning and conducting land operations requiring the close coordination of Army forces (ARFOR) and Marine Corps forces (MARFOR) under the control of a joint force land component commander (JFLCC) within the joint operations area (JOA). Joint force land component (JFLC) command operations addressed are primarily those involving large forces to include Army divisions and Marine expeditionary forces (MEFs) and the conduct of operations outside of an amphibious objective area (AOA), if designated. This handbook is also useful for planning and conducting land operations across the range of military operations and in multinational environments.

PURPOSE
1-2. Formation, functions, and organization of the JFLC command are addressed herein. Also discussed are the operational questions of who, what, when, and how of JFLC command operations in support of a campaign by a joint force commander (JFC). Joint doctrine establishes that the JFLCC option is available to the JFC. However, the doctrine necessary for planning and executing the JFLCC concept is still evolving. This United States Army
(USA)IUnited States Marine Corps (USMC) handbook provides information and guidance to assist readers in the forming, planning, training, and execution of the JFLCC concept.

Functional component commands can be appropriate
when forces from two or more Military Departments must
operate in the same dimension or medium or there is a
need to accomplish a distinct aspect of the assigned
mission.
                                     Joint Pub (JP) 5-00.2

ROLE AND AUTHORITY
OF THE COMBATANT COMMANDER
1-3. Unified action demands maximum interoperabiliity. The forces, units, and systems of all Services achieve interoperability through collective efforts to develop and use joint doctrine; joint tactics, techniques, and procedures;
and through the conduct of joint training. Joint forces can be established on either a geographic or functional basis. JFCs have the authority to organize forces to best accomplish the assigned mission based on their concept of operations (CONOPS). The organization should be sufficiently flexible to meet the planned phases of the campaign or major operation and any development that necessitates a change in plan. It should also optimize the capabilities of each component while maintaining the requisite unity of effort to attain the military objectives.

FUNCTIONS OF THE COMBATANT COMMANDS
1-4. Unless otherwise directed by the President or the Secretary of Defense
(SecDef), the authority, direction, and control of the commander of a combatant command (COCOM), with respect to the commands and the forces assigned to that command, are shown in Figure 1-1.

- Giving authoritative direction to subordinate commands and forces
necessary to carry out missions assigned to the command, including
authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training,
and logistics.
- Prescribing the chain of command to the commands and forces within
the command.
- Organizing commands and forces within that command as necessary
to carry out missions assigned to the command.
- Employing forces within that command as necessary to carry out
missions assigned to the command.
- Assigning command functions to subordinate commanders.
- Coordinating and approving those aspects of administration, support
(includin9 control of resources and equipment, internal organization,
and training), and discipline necessary to carry out missions assigned
to the command.
- Exercising the authority with respect to selecting subordinate commanders,
selecting combatant command staff, suspending subordinates, and
convening courts-martial as delineated in Chapter 6, title 10, US Code.
AUTHORITY OVER
SUBORDINATE COMMANDERS
1-5. Unless otherwise directed by the President or the SecDef
- Commanders of commands and forces assigned to a combatant
commander are under the authority, direction, and control of, and are
responsible to, the combatant commander.
- The subordinate commander communicates with other elements of the
Department of Defense (DOD) on matters the combatant commander is
assigned authority for in accordance with procedures, if any,
established by the combatant commander.
- Other elements of DOD communicate with the subordinate commander
on matters the combatant commander is assigned authority for in
accordance with established procedures.
- The subordinate commander advises the combatant commander, if so
directed, of all communications to and from other elements of DOD on
matters the combatant commander has not been assigned authority for.

A joint force commander (JFC) is a combatant
commander, subunified commander, or joint task force
(JTF) commander authorized to exercise combatant
command (command authority) or operational control over
a joint force.

FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT COMMAND AUTHORITY
1-6. Combatant commanders and commanders of subordinate unified commands and JTFs have the authority to establish functional component commands to control military operations. Functional component commands may be established across the range of military operations to perform operational missions that may be of short or extended duration. The JFC has the authority to establish and designate a JFLCC. Functional component commands do not constitute a "joint force" with the authorities and responsibilities of a joint force as described in the United Action Armed Forces (UNAAF). Normally, the Service component commander with the majority of forces, and requisite command and control (C2) capabilities, is designated as the functional component commander. However, the JFC
considers the mission, nature and duration of the operation, force capabilities, and the C2 capabilities in selecting a commander.

1-7. The responsibilities and authority of a functional component command are assigned by the establishing JFC. The establishment and designation of a functional component commander must not affect the command relationships between Service component commanders and the JFC.

1-8. The JFC must designate the military capability and forces that will be made available for tasking by the functional component commander and the appropriate command relationship(s) the functional component commander exercises over the forces provided.

1-9. When a functional component command will employ forces from more than one military department, the staff should be representative of the land forces that comprise the land component command.

COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS
1-10. The authority vested in a commander is commensurate with the responsibility assigned. Forces, not command relationships, are transferred between commands. When forces are transferred, the command relationship the gaining commander exercises (and the losing commander relinquishes)
over those forces must be specified. The four levels of command relationships used for US military forces are

- Combatant command. - Operational control (OPCON). - Tactical control (TACON).
- Support.
These command relationships are discussed in detail in Chapter II.

## Chapter Ii Command, Control, And Command Relationships Command Relationships Il-I. The Four Levels Of Command Relationships Used For Us Military Forces Are Described Below.

COMBATANT COMMAND
(COMMAND AUTHORITY)
11-2. COCOM is the command authority over assigned forces vested only in the commanders of COCOMs by title 10, US Code, Section 164, or as directed by the President in the Unified Command Plan (UCP), and cannot be delegated or transferred. The combatant commander normally exercises OPCON over forces attached by the National Command Authority (NCA).

Forces are attached when the transfer of forces is temporary. Establishing authorities for subordinate unified commands and JTFs will normally direct the delegation of OPCON over forces attached to those subordinate commands.

11-3. COCOM is the authority of a combatant commander to perform those functions of command over assigned forces to include

- Organizing and employing commands and forces.
- Assigning tasks.
- Designating objectives.
- Giving authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations,
joint training (or in the case of US Southern Command, training of
assigned forces).
- Logistics.
11-4. COCOM should be exercised through the commanders of subordinate organizations. Normally, this authority is exercised through subordinate JFCs and Service and/or functional component commanders. COCOM provides full authority to organize and employ commands and forces as the combatant commander considers necessary to accomplish assigned missions.

OPERATIONAL CONTROL 11-5. OPCON is the command authority exercised by commanders at any echelon at or below the level of COCOM and can be delegated or transferred.

11-6. OPCON is inherent in COCOM and is the authority to perform those functions of command over subordinate forces involving

- Organizing and employing commands and forces.
- Assigning tasks.
- Designating objectives.
- Giving authoritative direction necessary to accomplish the mission.
11-7. OPCON includes authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations and joint training necessary to accomplish missions assigned to the command. It should be exercised through the commanders of subordinate organizations; normally, this authority is exercised through subordinate JFCs and Service and/or functional component commanders. OPCON normally provides full authority to organize commands and forces and employ those forces necessary to accomplish assigned missions. It does not include authoritative direction for logistics or matters of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training. The combatant commander delegates these elements. OPCON does include the authority to delineate functional responsibilities and geographic JOAs of subordinate JFCs.

11-8. The superior commander gives commanders of subordinate commands and JTFs OPCON of assigned or attached forces.

## Tactical Control

11-9. TACON is the command authority over assigned or attached forces or commands, or military capability or forces made available for tasking. It is limited to the detailed and usually local direction and control of movements or maneuvers necessary to accomplish assigned missions or tasks.

11-10. TACON may be delegated to and exercised by commanders at any echelon at or below the level of COCOM. TACON is inherent in OPCON.

## Support

11-11. Support is a command authority. A support relationship is established by a superior commander between subordinate commanders when one organization should aid, protect, complement, or sustain another force.

11-12. Support may be exercised by commanders at any echelon at or below the level of COCOM. This includes the NCA designating a support relationship between combatant commanders as well as within a COCOM.

The designation of supporting relationships is important as it conveys priorities to commanders and staffs who are planning or executing joint operations. The support command relationship is a flexible arrangement. The establishing authority is responsible for ensuring that both the supported and supporting commanders understand the degree of authority granted the supported commander.

11-13. The supported commander should ensure that the supporting commander understands the assistance required. The supporting commander provides the assistance needed, subject to the supporting commander's existing capabilities and other assigned tasks. When the supporting commander cannot fulfill the needs of the supported commander, the establishing authority is notified by either the supported or supporting commander. The establishing authority is responsible for determining a solution.

11-14. An establishing directive is normally issued to specify the purpose of the support relationship, the effect desired, and the action to be taken.

11-15. See JP 0-2 for additional information on command relationships.

JFLC COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS
11-16. Unity of command and effort is a primary consideration when establishing a JFLC command. The JFLC command gives the JFC another option for managing the operations of land forces by reducing his span of control. JFCs may elect to centralize selected functions within the joint force, but should avoid reducing the versatility, responsiveness, and initiative of subordinate forces. The JFLCC must understand his relationship with the JFC, the other components (Service and functional), and the forces/capabilities made available. The JFLCC may provide support to other components and may similarly receive support from other Service or functional components.

Likewise, as a Service component commander, the JFLCC also has

responsibilities associated with Service component command for those assigned forces.

11-17. The type of command relationship given the JFLCC is based on the JFC's CONOPS and guidance. Functional component commanders typically exercise TACON over military capability or forces made available for tasking.

The authority given to a functional component commander is based on mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, and time available (METT-T). The JFC designates the military capability available to the functional component commander, and he specifies the appropriate command relationships the functional component commander exercises. Once the JFC decides to form a JFLC command, he determines both the command relationships between the JFLC command and the components (Service and functional).

11-18. The JFLCC is the focal point for planning and executing the land operations portion of the JFCs campaign plan. The JFLCC prepares a supporting joint land operations plan that provides the intent, CONOPS, and the supporting details. The JFLCC directs current - land operations while continuing to plan and prepare for future land operations.

COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THE JFC
11-19. The JFLCC reports directly to the JFC and advises the JFC on the proper employment of land forces. The JFC has the full authority to assign missions, redirect efforts, and direct coordination among subordinate commanders. JFCs should allow Service tactical and operational assets and groupings to function as they are designed. The intent is to meet the needs of the JFC while maintaining the tactical and operational integrity of the Service organizations.

COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS WITH FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS
11-20. The JFC may also establish supporting and supported relationships between components. The JFC determines not only how to organize the joint force into components, but also how each component relates to the others.

Support relationships afford an effective means to weight (and ensure unity of effort for) the main effort of various operations, each component typically receiving and providing support at the same time.

11-21. As with all other authority within a joint force, support authority is directed by the JFC. There are four support relationships directed by the JFC:
general support, mutual support, close support, and direct support.

- General Support. Support given to the supported force as a whole and
not to any particular subdivision thereof.
- Mutual Support. Support units render each other against an adversary.
This is based on, because of their assigned tasks, their position relative
to each other and to the adversary, and their inherent capabilities.
- Close Support. Action of the supporting force against targets or
objectives which are sufficiently close to the supported force. This
requires detailed integration or coordination of the supporting action
with the fire, movement, or other actions of the supported force.
- Direct Support. A mission requiring a force to support another specific
unit. This authorizes the supporting unit to answer directly to the
supported force's request for assistance.
11-22. Regardless of the organizational and command arrangements within joint commands, Service component commanders are responsible for certain Service-specific functions and other matters affecting their forces, including internal administration, training, logistics, and Service intelligence operations.

Combatant commanders, commanders of subordinate unified commands, and joint task forces (JTFs) have the authority to establish functional component commands to control military operations.

FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT
SUPPORT RELATIONSHIPS
11-23. The JFLC command can be in either a supporting or supported relationship or both. The JFC's needs for unity of command and unity of effort dictate these relationships. Support relationships will be established by the JFC in appropriate campaign plans and orders. Similar relationships can be established among all functional and Service component commanders, such as the coordination of deep operations involving the JFLC command and the joint force air component commander (JFACC). Close coordination is necessary when the JFLCC provides joint suppression of enemy air defenses

in support of JFACC operations. Examples are attack helicopters or multiplelaunched rocket systems in Operation DESERT STORM as well as seizing and holding ports and airbases for friendly air and sea forces (such as in Operation JUST CAUSE). The JFLCC can also expect support to include airlift, close air support (CAS), and interdiction strikes from the JFACC.

11-24. The JFC may task the JFLCC to conduct operations outside of the land AO. Land-based elements may conduct air and missile defense operations to protect the force and critical assets from air and missile attack and surveillance. These may include operational maneuver and/or operational fires against enemy ports and airbases outside of the land area of operations (AO).

Similarly, the JFLCC can request from the JFC air support from other components to attack or isolate enemy land forces in the land AO. Figure 11-1
illustrates a simultaneous support relationship scenario between the JFLCC
and JFACC.

## Command Relationships With Service Components 11-25. The Jflc Command Functional Component Responsibility Is Normally Assigned To A Commander Already Serving As A Service Component (E.G.,

ARFOR, MARFOR) to a JTF or subordinate unified command. Additionally, the JFC may use one of his Service components (e.g., Army Service component or Marine Service component) as the JFLCC reporting to him directly. The JFLCC retains Service component responsibility for assigned or attached forces but does not assume Service component responsibility for forces made available by other Service components. TACON is the normal relationship with these Service forces. In those cases in which the JFLC
command is not formed from a Service component headquarters, the JFLCC
has no Service component responsibilities. (See Figure 11-2.)
11-26. Once the JFLC command is established, the operational requirements of the JFLCC subordinate commands are prioritized and presented to the joint force headquarters by the JFLCC. However, Service component commanders remain responsible for their military department Title 10 responsibilities, such as logistics and personnel support. See Appendix C for details.

LIAISON
11-27. Command relationships and mission accomplishment determine LNO
requirements.

Liaison officers (LNOs) facilitate the communication
maintained between elements of a JTF to ensure mutual
understanding
                  and
                          unity
                                   of
                                          purpose
                                                      and
action.. ..Typically, LNOs are exchanged between higher,
lower, and adjacent units....Additionally, LNOs may be
provided from government agencies, nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs), international organizations, or
private voluntary organizations (PVOs).

ALSA JTF Liaison Handbook

ORGANIZATION
11-28. The JFLC command establishes liaison with other components to facilitate supporting and supported command relationships and to coordinate the planning and execution of land operations. The JFLC command considers existing liaison requirements from ARFOR and MARFOR when establishing liaison requirements with the JFACC for joint fire support. The JFLC
command must be prepared to receive and integrate other component liaison teams, such as Joint Force Maritime Component Command (JFMCC) and Joint Force Special Operations Component Command (JFSOCC).

11-29. The JFC determines whether LNOs will be provided by both Service components (ARFOR and MARFOR) and JFLC command headquarters or to simply have the JFLC command perform the liaison role for the total land force.

11-30. In those cases where the JFLCC is representing the total land force, the LNO team should include both Army and Marine officers. The JFLCC should also designate a senior LNO from the team as the official spokesperson for the JFLCC.

11-31. The JFLCC LNO team represents the JFLCC as a single force and addresses particular issues unique to their individual Service. 11-32. LNO teams may represent the JFLCC at various meetings of joint force and component boards, centers, and cells including joint planning group
(JPG), information operations (JO) cell, joint targeting coordination board
(JTCB), and civil-military operations center (CMOC).

## Functions

LNOs, whether individually or in teams, perform several
critical functions that are consistent across the full range of
military operations. The extent that these functions are
performed is dependent on the mission and the charter
established by the sending organization commander they
represent. A successful LNO performs four basic
functions: monitor, coordinate, advise, and assist.

## Alsa Jtf Liaison Handbook

11-33. The LNO monitors the development of plans and current operations of the JFLCC and the headquarters he is tasked to liaison with. He must know the current situation and planned operations, understand pertinent staff issues, and the JFC's and JFLCC's mission, intent, and concept for the operation.

11-34. The LNO facilitates the synchronization and integration of current operations and future plans between the JFLCC and the JFC or components.

This is accomplished through coordination with other LNOs, the JFC staff, and the JFLCC staff. The LNO must anticipate JTF and JFLCC information requirements. Coordination by the LNO complements rather than competes with normal staff coordination.

11-35. The LNO is a valuable subject matter expert on capabilities and limitations of the land component for the JFC and component commanders.

As such, the LNO advises the JFC commander and staff on the optimum employment of the JFLC command's capabilities. Additionally, the LNO
advises the JFLCC and staff on any JFC issues and activities of other components. LNOs must exercise caution to ensure that they do not obligate the JFLCC beyond the authority provided.

11-36. The LNOs assist on two levels. First, they act as the conduit between the JFLCC and the JFC. Second, by integrating themselves into the joint force staff as a participant in the daily battle rhythm (the daily briefings, meetings, planning sessions, etc.), the LNOs can answer questions from various groups
(JTCB, JPG, command group, etc.) to ensure that those groups make informed decisions.

LNO REQUIREMENTS
11-37. The gaining unit should first identify and define requirements for LNOs/teams. There may be specific requirements for an LNO or liaison team that include rank, Service, weapon system specialty, and experience. There may be unique administrative requirements to include medical, training, passport/visa, country clearances, interpreter skills, and uniform/equipment.

The gaining unit should plan to integrate the LNOs/teams and provide support to include billeting/messing, workspace, administrative/service, publication/documents, and equipment for follow-on movements/deployments.

## Lno Responsibilities

11-38. LNOILNO team responsibilities include

- Understanding the mission, the commander's expectations, specific
responsibilities to the sending and gaining organizations, and the
command relationship that will exist between the sending and gaining
organizations, as well as other major commands participating in the
operation.
- Being familiar with potential issues of the JFLCC, including specific
issues and information requirements from each staff section.
- Knowing the current situation of the JFLCC to include the
commander's intent, commander's critical information requirements
(CCIR), time-phased force and deployment data (TPFDD) issues, and
CONOPS.
- Contacting the headquarters requiring liaison prior to departure to
determine any special requirements to include equipment, operations
security (OPSEC) applicable to the mission, arrangements for
communications, etc., the LNO must accomplish.
- Informing the commander and staff of the JFLCC's intent and guidance
concerning land operations and all activities within the JFLCC's AO.
- Updating the commander and staff on the JFLCC's priority, timing, and
effects for supported actions.
- Monitoring and interpreting the land battle situation for the commander
and his staff.
- Keeping informed of the operational status of units.
PLANNING
11-39. The joint operation planning at the JFLC command headquarters is predominately at the operational level of war. Land force planning links the tactical employment of land forces to campaign and strategic objectives. The focus at the command level is on operational artthe use of military forces to achieve strategic objectives through the design, organization, and execution of strategies, campaigns, major operations, and battles.

11-40. Operational art determines when, where, and for what purpose major forces are employed and should influence the enemy disposition before combat. It governs the deployment of those forces, their commitment to or withdrawal from battle, and the arrangement of battles and major operations to achieve operational and strategic objectives.

11-41. JFLCC operational planning addresses some activities required for conducting jointlmultinational land operations. These activities include

- Employment planning which describes how to apply force/forces to
attain specified military objectives.
- Sustainment planning which is directed toward providing and
maintaining levels of personnel, materiel, and consumables required to
sustain the levels of combat activity for the estimated duration and at
the desired level of intensity.
PROCESS
11-42. The JFLCC conducts planning using the planning processes of the command that forms the core of the headquarters. While almost all headquarters use the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES)
planning cycle described in joint planning publications, the specific steps in the process may have different names and somewhat different activities. JFLC
command staff members, provided by Services other than the core of the

headquarters and integrated into the core staff, must quickly adapt to the planning processes and battle rhythm of the staff they are joining.

11-43. The primary difference between planning for single-Service forces and JFLC command forces is the addition of unique capabilities and limitations of each force. This requires an understanding of these capabilities and limitations across all staff functions, but it is particularly important in the JPG. JPG5 must have knowledgeable members from each Service in all functional areas. With these key personnel and appropriate LNOs from the major subordinate commands in place, the planning process provides sufficient consideration of the capabilities of each Service.

11-44. The force deployment planning conducted by the deployment cell in J-5 must be in concert with the JPG's operational planning. The deployment planners require visibility on the capabilities and sequencing priorities associated with a course of action (COA) or CONOPS; to ensure they are transportable and the deployment requirements are relayed to the JFLC
command forces and JFC. The JFLC command planning staff must remember that the timing and sequencing priority may be effected by the JFC's overall concept of deployment.

## Products

11-45. JFLCC operation plans (OPLANs), concept plans (CONPLANs), and/or operations orders (OPORDs) convey how the land force helps achieve the JFC's mission. The JFLCC plan describes the relationship or arrangement of major land operations that accomplish the JFC's strategic and operational objectives. The plan incorporates appropriate elements of operational art and fundamentals of jointlmultinational warfare and military operations other than war (MOOTW).

11-46. The OPORD describes the synchronization of specific tasks that result in a synergistic employment of jointimultinational land force capabilities for a major operation. The format for the OPORD generally follows that found in JP 5-00.2
11-47. OPLANs, CONPLANs, and OPORDs are distributed internally to the land force and externally to the JFC and Service and functional component commands for information. If OPLANS, CONPLANS, or OPORDs describe a branch or sequel to the current plan, they are distributed externally to the JFC
for approval and to the Service and functional component commands and land force subordinate commands for information. Once approved, the JFC
provides additional instructions to the land force.

11-48. Planning products are distributed simultaneously to all JFLC
commands. JFLCC subordinate commands can adequately evaluate the impact of future operations and plans from an operational aspect; however, the Service component command headquarters must be concurrently involved to assist in assessing ability of subordinate units to support the JFLCC.

11-49. Upon completion of the planning products and orders, the JPG
organizes to conduct execution phase planning. This represents an organizational strategy describing the transfer of responsibilities, products, and time-flow of planning documents through the planning staff. This depicts one means of forwarding planning products from the planners to those responsible for execution. Key to the success of the plans handoff is the requirement that the organization responsible for execution has enough background, rationale, and understanding of the plan (branch or sequel) to effectively execute it. Experience has shown that the current operations cell is often too immersed in ongoing operations to plan outside the current 24-hour period.

COMMUNICATIONS
11-50. The combatant commander, through the subordinate JFC and Service component commands, ensures effective and efficient command, control, communications, and computer (C4) system services consistent with the overall joint campaign plan. As driven by the mission, the foundation of the C4 system is laid by the C2 organization of forces assigned to the JFC. All C4
intelligence systems and upgrades will comply with the DOD Joint Technical Architecture.

11-51. The JFLCC provides, by exception only, standardized direction and guidance on joint C4 matters to the command as they affect the operational mission. The JFLCC may delegate responsibility for the accomplishment of joint C4 tasks under the OPCON of the JFLCC.

## Concept

11-52. The JFC develops the overarching campaign plan in concert with the combatant commander's guidance and with input from subordinate Service component and functional component commands. Based on guidance from the

JFC, the JFLCC develops the land operations portion of the campaign plan.

The plan is then provided to the JFC for developing and coordinating employment of forces and support of the overall campaign plan. The individual Service component commands, however, have the overall responsibility for providing C4 to their own forces unless otherwise directed.

(See Figure 11-3.)
11-53. In carrying out the duties of the JFLCC, communications connectivity utilizes the existing joint theater communications sysl:em (TCS) which is directed, established, and managed by the JFC. This provides robust theaterwide voice, data, and message connectivity between all components and elements. In addition, TCS addresses unique communications connectivity requirements that provide for the appropriate interface between ARFOR and MARFOR forces and C2 that permits timely execution of assigned missions.

11-54. Tactical communications in the AO are phased in and established as specified in the OPLAN and/or OPORD being supported/executed.

11-55. Technical guidance and procedures contained in CJCS instructions and manuals; allied communications publications; Joint Army, Navy, Air Force publications; and DOD directives will apply. In the case where individual Service doctrine conflicts with joint doctrine, joint procedures are followed.

COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS
11-56. The JFLCC exercises OPCON of all forces assigned for the accomplishment of the mission on an exception basis. Communication hardware is a Service component responsibility and only those communication issues affecting the conduct of the operational mission are of concern to the JFLCC J-6.

## Role Of The Jflcc J-6

11-57. The JFLCC J-6 provides critical functional expertise to the JFLCC in the C4 areas. These primary staff officers focus on key C4 issues that may have an adverse affect on the land portion of the joint campaign. Generally, they manage by exception only. Routine C4 management is the responsibility of the JFC and the subordinate Service component commands. Appendix G
has more information regarding the organization and responsibilities of the 1-6
staff.

## Chapter Iii Responsibilities, Roles, And Functions

JFLCC RESPONSIBILITIES AND ROLES
III-1.The JFLCC's overall responsibilities and roles are to organize, plan, and direct execution of land operations based upon the JFC's concept of operations and designation of command relationships. The responsibilities of the JFLCC include, but are not limited to:

- Advising the JFC on the proper employment of all assigned and
attached forces.
- Developing a land OPLAN/OPORD that supports the operational
objectives of the JFC and optimizes the operations of task-organized
land forces. The JFLCC issues planning guidance to all subordinate
and supporting elements and analyzes proposed COAs. The intent is to
concentrate the effects of combat power at critical times and places to
accomplish operational or strategic goals.
- Directing the execution of the land OPLAN/OPORD as specified by
the JFC, which includes making timely adjustments to the tasking of
assigned/attached forces. The JFLCC coordinates changes with
effected component commanders as appropriate.
- Coordinating the planning and execution of land operations with the
other component, JTF commanders, and other supporting agencies.
- Evaluating the results of land operations to include the effectiveness of
interdiction operations and forwarding these results to the JFC to
support the combat assessment (CA) effort.
- Synchronizing and integrating movement and maneuver, firepower,
CAS, and interdiction in support of the land operations. As a member
of the JTCB, the JFLCC designates the target priorities, effects, and
timing within his AO.
- Supporting the JFACC for counterair operations, strategic attack,
theater airborne reconnaissance and surveillance, and theater- and/or
JOA-wide interdiction effort. Once the JFC designates a land AO, the
land force commander is supported by other components within his
AO.
- Providing the deputy area air defense conmander (DAADC) for landbased air and missile defense or joint theater missile defense (JTMD)
as determined by the JFC.
- Supporting the JFC 10 by developing the JO requirements that support
land-control operations and synchronizing the land force JO assets
when directed.
- Establishing combat identification standing operating procedures and
other directives based on JFC guidance.
JFLCC FUNCTIONS
111-2. The JFLCC and his staff perform, or contribute to, a number of core functions that are critical for successfully conducting land operations. These functions apply in varying degrees across the range of military operations including those involving multinational forces. These functions are

- Movement and maneuver.
- Intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (TSR).
- Firepower.
- Logistics and personnel support.
- c2.
- Force protection.
These functions are performed through the execution of operational tasks that form a comprehensive rationalization of how the JFLCC conducts operations at the operational level. The six operational functions are listed below in Figure 111-I. See CJCS Memorandum 3500.04B for details.

## Movement And Maneuver

111-3. The JFLCC is responsible for land component operational movement and maneuver necessary to contribute to the success of the JFC's campaign.

He directs the land force in performance of operational tasks and influences lateral and higher headquarters in terms of either supporting the land force or assigning further operational tasks. The JFLCC makes recommendations to the JFC on the employment and support of land forces. This includes the following:

. Force structure.
- Integration and employment of multinational land forces.
- Land force scheme of maneuver and fire support. - Priorities of effort for land forces.
- Designating the fire support coordination measures (FSCMs) and
JFLCC boundaries with his AU.
- Intelligence collection priorities.
- Joint fire support for the land forces.
- Joint fires to support other components.
- Space support to the land force.
- Input on the airspace control measures in the airspace within the
JFLCC AO boundaries

## Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance

111-4. The JFLCC states operational requirements and provides continuous feedback to ensure optimum intelligence support to operations. This interface is essential to the following purposes of intelligence:

- To support the commander.
- To identify, define, and nominate objectives. - To support operational planning and execution.
- To avoid surprise.
- To assist friendly deception efforts. - To evaluate the effects of operations.
At the operational level, all major tactical combat formations share in access
to the joint intelligence architecture. The JFLCC may prioritize land force
subordinate requests for information (RFI) including the identification and
location of enemy center(s) of gravity (COGs) that could be successfully
attacked by land forces. (See Appendix A.)
FIREPOWER
III-5.The JFLCC is responsible for the planning and employment of operational firepower both in terms of developing an integrated multidimensional/muttimedium attack on the adversary's COG and in terms of shaping the land forces' future battlefield. The JFLCC should provide guidance for the employment of operational firepower, including lethal and nonlethal means, to shape the battlespace and influence conditions for future operations. (See Appendix D.)

## Logistics And Personnel Support

111-6. Each Service is responsible for the logistics support of its own forces, except when logistics support is otherwise provided for by agreement with national agencies, multinational partners, or by assignme:nts to common, joint, or cross servicing. The supported COCOM may determine that common servicing, would be beneficial within the theater or designated area. The JFLCC would make recommendations concerning the distribution of materiel and services commensurate with priorities developed for land force operations. (See Appendix C.)

## Command And Control

111-7. The JFLCC has significant responsibility for operational C2 in that he becomes the single focal point for integrated and synchronized land force operations for the JFC. Upon approval of the land force plan, the JFLCC
exercises specified authority and direction over the land forces in the accomplishment of the land force mission. JFLCC responsibility is to C2 land operations to ensure they accomplish campaign and major operations objectives. A JFLCC staff is established either through liaison, augmentation, or through the development of a dedicated staff with representation that is ideally proportional to the mix of forces. The JFLCC must maintain liaison and representation on JTF boards, groups, and cells. These include JO cell, JTCB, JPG, CMOC, among others. Representation is essential to ensuring that land force operations are coordinated and achieve unity of effort for the JFC.

Additionally, JFLCC assists the JFC in long-range or future planning, preparation of campaign and joint operation plans, and associated estimates of the situation. JFLCC tasks include the following:

- Preparing and coordinating required land component OPLANs or
OPORDs in support of assigned JFC missions.
- Coordinating land component planning efforts with higher, lower,
adjacent, and multinational headquarters as required.
- Developing land component COAs within the framework of the JFC-
assigned objective or mission, forces available, and the commander's
intent. Determining land component forces required and available and
coordinating force projection planning in support of the selected COAs.
III-8.The JFLCC is responsible for developing and integrating the land
component C4 architecture and plans that support the JFC's operational
requirements. Additionally, JFLCC establishes the policy and guidance for
land component implementation and integration of interoperable C4 systems
to exercise command in the execution of the land component mission. The
JFLCC provides standardized direction and guidance on C4 matters to the
joint command and any other communications supporting elements. The
JFLCC may delegate responsibility for the accomplishment of joint C4 tasks that are under his OPCON. In situations where the estabilishment of a JFLCC
staff is on short notice, the participating Services will be challenged to provide communications resources necessary for standing up the C4 architecture. The Service component designated as the command will primarily be responsible for C4 resources.

## Force Protection

111-9. The JFLCC significantly influences the JFC force protection plans and prioritiesparticularly land component operations. The JFLCC is responsible to the JFC for all land force protection operations. Force protection includes the following elements:

- Defensive counterair (DCA) (air defense and JTMD). - Nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) defense.
- Combating terrorism to include antiterrorism (AT) programs.
- Defensive JO.
- Security for operational forces and means.
- Physical security.
- OPSEC.
A listing and description of these operational functions are at Appendix E.
MULTINATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
111-10. Effectively planned and executed multinational operations should, in addition to achieving common objectives, facilitate unity of effort without diminishing freedom of action and preserve unit integrity and uninterrupted support. Each multinational operation is unique, and key considerations involved in planning and conducting multinational operations vary with the international situation and perspectives, motives, and values of the organization's members.

111-11. The following key considerations for multinational operations are addressed in JP 3-16 and Appendix G:

- Mission analysis and assignment of tasks. - Political and military considerations.
- Intelligence and information. - Logistics and host-nation support.
- Language, culture, and sovereignty.
- Health service support. - Termination and transition.
- Communications. - Force protection. - International law.
- Law of armed conflict. - Rules of engagement (ROE).
- Doctrine, training, and resources.
- Media.
- Religious ministry support.
- Meteorology and oceanography. - Environmental considerations.

## Chapter Iv Considerations For Forming A Jflc Command

ESTABLISHING AUTHORITY
IV-!. A JFC has the authority to organize forces to best accomplish the assigned mission based on the CONOPS. The JFC establishes subordinate commands, assigns responsibilities, establishes or delegates appropriate command and support relationships, and establishes coordinating instructions for the component commanders. Sound organization provides for unity of effort, centralized planning, and decentralized execution. Unity of effort is necessary for effectiveness and efficiency. Centralized planning is essential for controlling and coordinating the efforts of the forces. When organizing joint forces with multinational forces, simplicity and clarity are critical.

IV-2. JP 3-0 states that "functional commands are established to provide centralized direction and control of certain functions and types of operations".

The JFC can establish functional component commands and define the authority and responsibilities of the functional component commanders based upon the CONOPS and may alter this authority during the course of an operation. Normally, this authority does not include forming subordinate functional commands or reorganizing forces that have been assigned or made available.

IV-3. The designation of a JFLCC may occur when major land forces of more than one Service component participate in a land operation, and the JFC
ascertains that doing this will achieve unity of command and effort among land forces.

DEFINING THE AREA OF OPERATIONS
IV-4. An AO is an operational area defined for the JFLCC by the JFC. The AO is most likely outside an AOA. See JPs 3-0 and 3-02 for additional guidance on AOAs.

IV-5. AOs do not typically encompass the entire JOA. However, the AO
should be large enough for the JFLCC to accomplish his mission and protect the force. He establishes an operational framework for the AO that assigns battlespace responsibilities to subordinate land commanders. Battlespace is the environment, factors, and conditions that must be understood to successfully apply combat power, protect the force, or complete the mission.

Within the AO, battlespace includes

- Land.
- Air.
- Sea.
- Space.
- Adversary. - Friendly forces.
- Facilities.
- Weather. - Terrain.
- Areas of interest (AOl).
- Portion of the information environment that affects the operation. - Intermediate support bases (ISBs) or other force projection bases.
- Unit home stations.
IV-6. This battlespace geometry should maximize the operational capabilities of all subordinate elements. Figure IV-! depicts this framework. When considering geometry, the MARFOR has a requirement for more battlespace than would be expected for the land force involved. ThiLs is due to the fixedwing aviation assets that are organic to the Marine Air Ground Task Force
(MAGTF).

IV-7. The JFLCC may subdivide some or all of the assigned AOs by assigning subordinate unit AOs. These subordinate unit AOs may be contiguous or noncontiguous. When JFLC command forces are contiguous, a shared boundary separates the tactical units. In a noncontiguous environment, the tactical units of the land force do not share a common boundary.

Operation JUST CAUSE is an excellent example of an operation with noncontiguous AO. The intervening area between forces remains the responsibility of the JFLCC. Figure IV-2 illustrates contiguous and noncontiguous AOs.

Contiguous
Areas of Operations
Noncontiguous
Areas of Operations

ORGANIZING
IV-8. Several options are available for organizing a joint land force. The manner in which JFCs organize their forces directly affects the responsiveness and versatility of joint force operations. As such, joint force organizational design is heavily influenced by METT-T factors. JFCs organize all forces assigned to accomplish the mission based on the JFC's vision and CONOPS.

As previously mentioned unity of effort, centralized planning, and decentralized execution are key considerations. JFCs may elect to centralize selected functions within the joint force but should strive to avoid reducing the versatility, responsiveness, and initiative of subordinate forces. JFCs can conduct operations through sub-unified commands, JTFs, Service components, functional components, or a combination of Service and functional components.

IV-9. There are four primary options available to the JFC for organizing land forces from two or more components. The four options are
- Functional JTF.

- One Service component TACON to another.

- Maintain Service componency. - Formation of a JFLC command.

IV-1O. Each option has advantagesand disadvantages which the JFC and staff must consider prior to a decision to organize under a particular option. The following advantages and disadvantages are not all-inclusive but highlight some of the more important issues.

FUNCTIONAL JTF
TV-il. The advantages are
- Unity of command and effort.
- Joint staff.
- Authority of a JFC including the authority to organize subordinate
functional components.
IV-! 2. The disadvantages are
- Separate JTF commander/staff required.
- Lead time required to establish headquarters before execution.

## One Service Component Tacon To Another

TV-i 3. The advantages are
- Simplified C2.
- Efficient staff action
IV- 14. The disadvantages are
- Staff not integrated (LNO only).
- Potential for ineffective use of assigned forces.

## Maintain Service Component Organization

IV- 15. The advantages are
- Requires no change in structure.
- JFC directly integrates land control operations with other operations.
IV-16. The disadvantages are
- JFC must focus on the land battle.
- Potential for JFC to lose focus on the operational-to-strategic interface.
- No single focus for land forces.
- No effective relationship between land forces and joint force
component.

## Jflc Command Structure

IV-17.The advantages are
- Unity of effort. - Integrated staff.
- Single voice for land forces (consolidated picture of land force
capabilities to the JFC, staff, and boards).
- Single battle concept and focus of effort for land operations (an aspect
of the plan rather than a function of coordination either horizontally or
vertically).
- Synchronized/integrated land force planning and execution
(prioritization therefore deconfliction of competing land force requirements).
IV-18.The disadvantages are
- JFLCC generally retains Service component responsibilities to the JFC
(requires split focus of the staff).
- Challenge of integrating staffs.
- Lead time required to establish headquarters before execution.
- Sourcing the staffs.
EMPLOYING
IV-19. Considerations for employing a JFLCC are summarized as follows:
- Mission. The mission requires the unique capabilities and functions of
more than one Service be directed toward closely related land
objectives where unity of effort is a primary concern. Land forces are
competing for limited joint force assets. The JFLCC contributes to the
prioritization and control of joint force assets, as the situation requires.
- Scope. When the scope of land operations is large, the JFC needs to
divide attention between major operations or phases of operations that
are functionally dominated and synchronize those operations. It may be
useful, therefore, to establish functionally oriented commanders
responsible for the major operations.
Scope of forces. A JFLCC may be established anytime that the
land forces of two Services are employed. A JFLCC is normally
established for major theater operations where multiple
corpsfMEFs are employed. In some situations involving smaller
forces that require ArmyfMarine Corps integration,
the
interrelationship is covered by the information provided in ALSA
publication Army and Marine Corps Integration in Joint
Operations (AMCI), FM 90-3 1, MCRP 3-3.8, May 1996.
- Scope of the AOs. Geographically concentrated land control
operations may require direction by a JFLCC. Dispersed
objectives, different lines of operation, and support might better
be addressed by other organizational options.
- Level of operations. When the scope of the operation requires an
operational level command to directly link land control operations to
campaign or strategic objectives, a JFLCC can provide the linkage.
- Planning. The formation of a JFLCC integrates planning, beneath the
level of the JFC, for land control operations. While this integrated
planning is focused on employment, the JFLCC may also integrate
planning of deployment, transition, and redeployment.
- Duration. Duration of operations must be long enough to warrant the
establishment of a single land force commander. The duration of
operations must be worth the costs in terms of lead time, personnel and
staff training, C4 architecture, and impact on flexibility.
- Experience. Formation of a JFLCC may enhance the detailed planning,
coordination, and execution of operations required by the joint force
headquarters.
- Span of control. The multiple complex tasks confronting the JFC may
exceed the JFC's span of control. Having a JFLCC allows resolution of
joint issues at the functional component level. The JFC has other
responsibilities in the joint operating area that may require greater
focus.
- Multinational operations. In multinational operations, land forces may
be provided by a variety of national components. When proper
authority grants organizing subordinate multinational units, the formation of a multinational force land component commander is subject to the same considerations as in US Joint IForce operations.

TIMING
IV-20. The timing of the decision to designate a JFLCC is determined by the JFC. A JFC establishes a JTF to provide the requisite C2 of the operation, or he may elect to have the components report directly to the combatant commander. Components, such as JFLCC, should be designated as early as possible. The decision to establish and designate a JFLCC ideally is during concept development of the campaign plan.

IV-21.Subordinate commanders should report to the JFLCC for planning during concept development. Subordinate commanders report to the JFLCC in sufficient time for employment operations and when the C2 structure is established.

FORMING THE STAFF
IV-22. Once the JFC has decided to designate a JFLCC, the JFLC command headquarters is organized according to the mission and forces assigned.

Normally, it is built around an existing Army or Marine headquarters staff.

The core staff needs to be augmented with Army and Marine staff as soon as practical.

IV-23. Appendix F depicts a notional JFLC command staff organization.

However, the organization of the Service component core staff that forms the nucleus of the command headquarters may take precedence. The standard operating procedures (SOP) for the predominant Service normally. forms the baseline for the JFLC command SOP. However, supplemental SOPs are required to conduct operations with Service-unique capabilities. The training and exercising of the JFLCC staff before the conduct of operations is critical to the overall success of the mission.

FORMING THE
COMMAND ELEMENT
IV-24.There are two basic options for forming iLhe JFLC command headquarters under the joint force or JTF.

IV-25.Option A is an example of how to form the JFLC command headquarters as a separate entity from either component. This option provides the JFLCC the requisite C2 resources to focus on the land operations without the direct responsibilities associated with logistical and administrative support. The JFLC command has a separate ARFOR and MARFOR
commander and headquarters responsible for the C2 of their respective services. Within the JFLC command headquarters, the billets of deputy commander/chief of staff and key members of the staff (J- 1 through J-6)
should be fully integrated with Army and USMC representation (See Figure IV-3).

IV-26.Option B is an example of how to form the JFLC command by designating either of the JFC's Service component commanders (ARFOR or MARFOR) as the JFLCC. The JFLC command headquarters must continue to perform the Service component functions. This option also requires the other Service to be fully integrated across all staff sections. The Service designated as the JFLCC provides the core elements of the staff to assist in planning, coordinating, and executing JFLC command operations. While this option requires fewer personnel, it has the potential to overtask the JFLC command staff during the performance of their dual roles. It may be advantageous for the Service component commander to delegate as rriany of the Service component related duties as practical to a subordinate Service force headquarters. (See Figures IV-4 and IV-5.)
SOURCING THE FORCES
IV-27. The forces assigned to the JFLCC are identified during the deliberate planning process. Forces are apportioned to the combatant commander in the Forces for Unified Commands memorandum and the UCP, and, for deliberate planning purposes, are designated in the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan. In addition, forces are allocated to combatant commanders in response to crises.

IV-28.As the JFC develops his CONOPS, the Service and functional components conduct parallel planning. During this process, the JFC tasks the functional and Service components to provide estimates of forces required. Since the JFLCC employs Army, Marine, and, possibly, multinational land forces, he should provide his force estimate in terms of capabilities

(i.e., maneuver force equivalents) required rather than specific forces (i.e., 1st Cavalry Division).

IV-29. Upon receipt of the JFLCC's requirements, the JFC works with the Service components to source the actual forces needed by the JFLCC. The Service components designate specific units to report to the JFC who assigns them to the JFLCC.

IV-30. Once the forces are designated, the JFC plans and conducts the strategic deployment of forces. While the JFLCC, like other functional components, provides recommended phasing of forces tc' the JFC, he will not control the land force portion of the TPFDD. Based on the Service and functional component recommendations, the JFC develops the integrated TPFDD and assigns the required delivery dates.

LIAISON, BOARD, AND CELL REQUIREMENTS
IV-31.Liaison teams or individuals should be dispatched from higher to lower, lower to higher, laterally, or any combination of these. The teams generally represent the interests of the sending commander to the gaining commander. However, they also promote understanding of the commander's intent at both the sending and gaining headquarters.

IV-32. The JFLCC liaison requirements include, as a minimum, liaison with other components of the joint force, the joint force headquarters, and major subordinate commands. The commander may require additional liaison with multinational land forces not assigned to the command.

## Appendix A Intelligence

GENERAL
A-I. The JFLCC is the JFC' s focal point for adversary ground forces intelligence, target development, and battle damage assessment (BDA). He ensures required intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) support is provided to the JFC, functional components, and subordinate land component forces. Also, he defines intelligence responsibilities and prioritizes intelligence requirements of subordinate land forces. In addition, he provides representation for the land component and its subordinates at the JFC's daily joint coordination and targeting boards. The staff incorporates and synchronizes their human intelligence (HUMINT) and counterintelligence
(CI) efforts with that of the commander-in-chief JTF J-2X.

A-2. The intelligence effort focuses on the integration of multisource information and multiechelon intelligence into all-source intelligence products. These products provide clear, relevant, and timely knowledge of the adversary and operational environment. The intelligence products and services must be in forms that are readily understood and usable by the recipient in a timely manner without overloading the user and, at the same time, minimizing the information management workload.

A-3. The JFLCC and his J-2 staff must understand the intelligence requirements of superior, subordinate, and component commands; identify organic intelligence capabilities and shortfalls; and access theater and national systems to ensure appropriate intelligence and CI products are provided or available.

A-4. The JFLCC J-2 is responsible for supporting the commander and staff by ensuring the availability of reliable intelligence and timely indications and warning on the characteristics of the area. The J-2 also ensures adequate intelligence collection and reporting to identify enemy capabilities and intentions as quickly as possible. Figure F-3, Appendix F, depicts a typical J-2 organization. The actual composition of the J-2 is dictated by the organization and operations to be conducted by the JFLCC. At a minimum, a core element of analytical, ISR management, and administrative capabilities is required.

A-5. J-2 responsibilities may include the following:

- Prioritizing the JFLC command intelligence requirements. This
includes reviewing the CCIR to ensure that intelligence requirements
for production, collection, and support to force protection are identified
and processed.
- Ensuring the intelligence support to targeting and BDA is performed.
This responsibility includes analyzing the adversary situation to
identify, nominate, and assess those vulnerabilities that can be
exploited by direct military operations. The J-2 provides appropriate
targeting intelligence support, including target intelligence packages, to the JFLCC, JFACC, JTCB, and components.
- Developing concept-of-intelligence support operations to include
intelligence and CI support to force protection.
- Executing intelligence battle handover. The J-2 follows established
procedures for exchange of critical intelligence data
OFFICES, CENTERS, AND TEAMS
A-6. The joint analysis and control element (JACE) is the hub of intelligence production and ISR management in the JFLCC. The JACE is located at the JFLCC level and works directly for the J-2. This element is responsible for providing the complete ground adversary situation by integrating and adding to the combatant commander's intelligence organization. The JACE is formed from the Army Service component or corps analysis and control element or from the equivalent MAGTF intelligence support organization.

A-7. The JACE is a tailored subset of the intelligence support organization providing intelligence support to JFLCC operational forces and performs common intelligence functions. By design, the JACE is scaleable and can expand to meet the needs of the JFLCC. It is tailored to fit the operating environment based on identified requirements.

A-8. The JACE is composed of analytical experts and analysis teams that provide services and products required by the commander, his staff, and components. These all-discipline and all-warfare specialty analysis teams are focused on substantive operational intelligence problems. Analysis teams take into account pertinent information from all sources. A JACE capability for allsource analysis and ISR management is key to operational intelligence.

A-9. Analytical efforts of the JACE should have an operational focus to help the commander better understand how the adversary plans, e.g., how he will conceptualize the situation, what his options are, and how he will react to a given situation.

A-JO. During joint operations, CI and HUMINT complement each other and work together to provide intelligence and force protection support to the joint force. To accomplish this, the JFC establishes a joint force J-2 CI and HUMINT support element (J-2X) under the JFLCC. The J-2X manages, coordinates, and deconflicts HUMINT and CI activities of attached elements and Service components. The J-2X reports directly to the JFLCC J-2 and is responsible for the following:

- Task force CI coordinating authority (TFCICA) to coordinate CI force
protection source operations, to maintain tactical source registry, to
maintain liaison coordination, and to conduct CI collection
management support functions.
- HUMINT operations cell (HOC) to coordinate operations, source
administration, and requirements with the country team; establish
liaison with the joint captured materiel exploitation center (JCMEC),
joint document exploitation center (JDEC), joint interrogation and
debriefing center (JIDC), and JACE; task HUMINT collection
elements against identified priority enemy prisoners of war (EPWs),
document, and foreign material acquisition requirements; and guide
HUMINT operations toward elimination of intelligence gaps.
Proper resource application to provide a coordinaied, deconflicted, and integrated CI, HUMINT, and special operating forces (SOF) collection and reporting effort for the JFC and JFLCC.

A-il. While not all of the offices, centers, or teams listed below may be required, each should be evaluated based on future operations. The following may be established or requested by the JFLCC in addition to the J-2X and JACE:

- National Intelligence Support Team (NIST). NIST provides a missiontailored national intelligence reach-back capability to fulfill the stated
intelligence requirements of the supported JFLCC. Normally, it is
composed of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Central
Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, National Imagery and
Mapping Agency, and other intelligence resources as required. At a
minimum, the personnel deployed in a NIST provide access to agencyunique information and supporting analysis.
- JCMEC. JCMEC is formed from elements of the I)IA Foreign Materiel
Program and service technical intelligence organizations and explosive ordnance disposal personnel. It is activated during periods of hostilities
and assists in management of recovery, exploitation, and disposal of
captured enemy equipment. This type of equipment can provide critical
information on enemy strengths and weaknesses that may favorably
influence operational planning.
- Joint Interrogation Facility (JIF). JIF conducts initial screening and
interrogation of EPWs, translation and exploitation of captured
adversary documents, and debriefing of captured or detained US
personnel released or escaped from adversary control. It coordinates
exploitation of captured equipment with the JCMEC, documents with
the JDEC, and human sources with the JIDC. The JIF forwards key
reports to the JIDC. More than one JIF may be established in the JOA
depending upon the anticipated number of EPWs.
- JIDC. JIDC conducts follow-on exploitation of EPWs. EPWs are
screened by the JIFs, and those of further intelligence potential are
identified and forwarded to the JIDC for follow-on interrogation and
debriefing in support of JTF and higher requirements. Besides EPWs,
the JIDC may also interrogate civilian detainees, refugees, and other nonprisoner sources. JIDC activities are managed by the J-2X HOC.
The HOC coordinates with the TFCICA for CI augmentation for
__________________________________________________ JFLCC Handbook exploitation of those personnel of CI interest, such as civil and/or military leaders, intelligence and political officers, and terrorists.

JDEC. The JDEC exploits captured adversary documents and other media to obtain intelligence. Document exploitation can obtain information on topics, such as information on adversary intentions and planning (including deception), locations, dispositions, tactics, communications, logistics, and morale. Coupled with other intelligence sources, document exploitation provides a more complete picture of an unfolding operation and adversary capabilities. The JDEC is activated during periods of hostilities, deployed to the COCOM, and normally assigned to, and under the OPCON of, the JFLCC J-2 to manage the recovery, exploitation, automated processing, and disposal of captured adversary documents.

A- 12. More detailed discussions of ISR operations and considerations are found in the JP 2-0 series on intelligence.

## Appendix B Movement And Maneuver

GENERAL
B-i. The JFLCC plans, controls, and coordinates land movement and maneuver to gain a positional advantage or a mobility differential over the adversary. The purpose is to achieve the objectives assigned in the JFC
campaign plan.

B-2. JP 3-0 describes maneuver at the operational level as a means by which commanders set the terms of battle by time and location, decline battle, or exploit existing situations. The objective for operational maneuver is usually a COG or decisive point.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS
B-3. The JFLCC assumes control of the forces from the Service component upon completion of their reception, staging, onward movement, and integration in theater. He must have the requisite C2 capability to effectively employ the force.

B-4. One key difference between a JFLCC and a Service component commander is the requirement for the JFLCC to effectively integrate the different capabilities, requirements, and limitations of the forces assigned to accomplish the assigned mission.

B-5. The notional JFLC command headquarters, discussed in Appendix F, provides for the integration of staff officers from each Service into each section of the JFLC command staff. It is essential that officers from each Service participate in the planning process of all movement and maneuver to insure Service-unique capabilities and limitations are considered.

B-6. A key to maximizing capabilities is to understand the battlespace requirements of each assigned force. An example is the requirement to provide the MAGTF with sufficient battlespace (either linear or nonlinear AO) to effectively employ its air combat element. This requires detailed and continuous coordination with the JFACC and careful consideration of FSCMs and boundaries.

B-7. The JFC normally tasks the JFLCC to make recommendations on the employment of forces. This includes the following:

- Organizing for combat.
- Integrating multinational land forces in the land fig]ht.
- Developing a land force scheme of maneuver and fire support plan to
support the JFC's campaign plan.
- Identifying interdiction targets or objectives within the JFLCC's
boundaries. He should clearly state how interdiction enhances or
enables his maneuver operations.
- Establishing priorities of effort.
- Designating the fire support coordination lines and internal boundaries. - Coordinating/integrating/synchronizing operational reconnaissance. - Coordinating/planning operational fires that impact maneuver.

## Appendix C Administration And Logistics

GENERAL
C-I. Joint administrative functions include personnel, pay input, religion, and legal support services (see JP I-series publications).

C-2. The six logistics functions are defined in joint doctrine as: supply, maintenance, health services, transportation, services, and general engineering. (See JP 4-0 and other JP 4-series publications.)
DIRECTIVE AUTHORITY FOR LOGISTICS
C-3. In joint operations, the geographical combatant commander, through the subordinate JFCs, Service components, and DOD agencies (primarily Defense Logistics Agency), ensures effective and efficient execution of personnel and logistics services consistent with the overall campaign plan. (See Figure C-i.)
The exercise of directive authority for logistics by a combatant commander includes the authority to issue directives to subordinate commanders, including peacetime measures, necessary to ensure the execution of approved OPLANs, the effectiveness and economy of operation, and the prevention or elimination of unnecessary duplication of facilities and overlapping functions among the Service component commands.

C-4. A combatant commander's limited directive authority for logistics is not intended to

- Usurp Service responsibility for logistics support. - Discourage coordination by consultation and agreement. - Disrupt effective procedures, efficient use of facilities, or organiaation.
(13 CJTF J4 manages CUL for JOA.

COMMON USER LOGISTICS
C-5. The JFC develops the overarching campaign plan in concert with the combatant commander's guidance and with input from subordinate Service component commands, functional component commands, and DOD agencies.

In concert with the JFC planning effort, the JFLCC develops the land operations portion of the campaign plan. This land OPLAN is provided to the JFC for consideration in developing and coordinating deployment and employment of forces and support of the overall campaign plan. The individual Service component commands, however, have overall responsibility for providing logistics support to their own forces unless otherwise directed. (See JP 4-07.)
C-6. Service component forces, especially the Army, are often required to provide significant levels of JOA-wide common user logistics (CUL) support to other Service components, multinational partners, and other organizations
(i.e., other governmental organizations [OGOs]) and NGOs. Army JOA-wide CUL support requirements are normally provided by Army echelon-abovecorps support units, such as the theater support command, but these requirements are carried out under the auspices of the ARFOR commander and are not a JFLCC responsibility. (See FM 100-10 and FM 63-4 for further information.) The MARFOR may provide limited CUL support to other Service component forces based on the plan.

C-7. In some cases, the JFLCC may direct selected CUL support within his AO; however, the authority to direct logistics is not resident in the JFLCC's OPCON or TACON authority (see JP 0-2, page 111-8). When required, JFLCC
CUL authority may be derived from one of two sources: combatant commander delegation of specific land-operation-focused CUL authority or through short-term interservice support agreements between the ARFOR and MARFOR.

C-8. With this limited CUL authority, the JFLCC may direct that CUL
support be provided between the Service component units. This landoperations-focused CUL may include temporary task organization or support relationships of selected JFLCC logistics units. (Land-operations-focused CUL support is separate and distinct from JOA-wide CUL requirements.) The JFLCC J-4 staff ensures that JFLCC-directed CUL requirements do not conflict or interfere with combatant-commander-directed JOA-wide CUL
requirements.

LOGISTICS PLANNING
C-9. JFLCC logistics plans should be integrated with combatant commander annexes and JFC, Service component, and multinational partner logistics plans.

C-1O. JFLCC J-4 personnel must be involved early in the staff planning and undertake an analysis of the logistics support capabilities of each of the COAs considered.

C-li. JFLCC CUL requirements must be properly planned and coordinated with overall combatant commander/JFC-directed CUL requirements.

C-12. JFLCC J-4 personnel determine location and accessibility of key supply points.

C-13. The JFLCC J-4 planners identify those issues unique to the land operations not already identified by the JFCJ-4 reports.

BOARDS
AND CENTERS
C-l4. The JFLCC is not routinely the lead for JFC-level logistics boards and centers. The JFLCC J-4 normally participates in selected combatant commander/JFC boards and centers that are of critical! importance to the successful execution of the land campaign. The joint transportation board and the joint movement center are transportation-related boards and centers that may have significant impact on the land portion of the joint campaign and are examples of higher level joint logistics boards on which the JFLCC may want representation. Other boards and centers of significant importance to the JFC
include the joint material priorities and allocation board and the joint petroleum office. To ensure proper focus, the JFLCC participation in these boards needs to be treated as separate and distinct from the Service component participation in these same boards and centers. (See Figure C-2.)

## Possible Joint Logistics Boards And Centers

- Joint Transportation Board
- Joint Movement Center
- Joint Petroleum Office - Joint Civil-Military Engineering Board - Joint Facilities Utilization Board - Theater Patient Movement Requirements Center - Joint Blood Program Office - Joint Mortuary Affairs Office
- Joint Material Priorities and Allocation Board
C-15. The JFLCC will not normally convene separate joint logistics boards and centers except when needed to coordinate critical CUL support within the JFLCC AO. Possible JFLCC-established boards and centers may include a movement center and materials priorities allocation board (MPAB). The movement center facilitates coordination and prioritization of movement within the JFLCC's AO. The movement center would be subordinate to the JFC joint movement center and would ensure that JFLCC movement requirements do not conflict with JFC-directed movements. The JFLCC-level joint movement center would be built on the lead Service movement control agency and include staff members from the other Service. A JFLCC MPAB
would perform similar functions for critical supply items. (The JFLCC could combine these two centers/boards into one distribution management center that would perform both transportation and supply management functions.) In any case, he will ensure that he has the capability to adequately control movement and cross-level critical logistics resources when necessary for execution of land operations.

FUNCTIONS
OF THE J-1 AND J-4
c-i6. The JFLCC J- 1 and J-4 provide critical functional expertise to the commander in the areas of personnel and logistics. These primary staff officers focus on key personnel and logistics issues that rriay have an adverse affect on the land portion of the joint campaign.

C-17. Generally, they manage by exception only.

Routine administrative/personnel and logistics management is the responsibility of the JFC and the subordinate Service component commands. See Appendix F for more information on JFL J-i and J-4 staff organization and responsibilities.

## Appendix D Firepower

GENERAL
D- 1. This appendix provides information regarding JFLC command fires, to include the targeting process, organization, and the planning and execution of fires at the operational level and assessment of the effects of those fires.

FIRES MISSION
D-2. The JFLCC and his staff plan and execute operational fires to accomplish the mission and create the conditions for success on the battlefield.

D-3. The JFLCC uses fires as the principle means of shaping the battlespace.

His interests are those theaterwide adversary forces, functions, facilities, and operations that impact on future land force plans and operations. He focuses on adversary operational (and limited strategic) level COGs, using joint and combined lethal and nonlethal means, to shape the operational battlefield to achieve a decisive impact on the conduct of the campaign or major operation.

The JFLCC generally has three primary goals when conducting operational fires:
- Facilitating both operational and tactical maneuver by suppressing the adversary's deep-strike systems, disrupting the adversary's operational maneuver and tempo, and creating exploitable gaps in adversary positions.

- Isolating the battlespace by interdicting adversary military potential before it can be used effectively against friendly forces.

- Destroying critical adversary functions and facilities that eliminate or substantially degrade adversary operational capabilities.

## Resources D-4. The Jflcc Employs Fires Through Joint And Organic Resources. Jflcc Handbook

D-5. The JFLCC's primary tools to attack operational targets (OP.2.2, Appendix H) are operational fires and joint interdiction. Interdiction is defined as actions to divert, disrupt, delay, or destroy the adversary's surface military potential before it can be used effectively against fiiendly forces. Joint resources for interdiction include:
- Air.

- SOF.

- NationalItheater/JTF offensive JO.
- Army attack helicopters.
- Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS).
TARGETING
D-6. Targeting occurs at all levels of command within a joint force and is applied by Service and component-level forces capable of attacking targets with lethal and nonlethal means to achieve the desired effects. Components must understand the joint targeting process to fulfill the JFLCC's intent and objectives. Effective coordination, deconfliction, and synchronization maximize the strategic, operational, and tactical effects of joint targeting.

Components must have effective joint targeting procedures that ensure:
- Compliance with JFLCC's objectives, guidance, and intent.

- Coordination, synchronization, and deconfliction of attacks.

- Rapid response to time-sensitive targets (TSTs).

- Minimal duplication of effort.

- Expeditious effects assessment. - Common perspective of all targeting efforts.

- Fratricide avoidance.

D-7. Decisions to modify missions or direct attacks that deviate from the planned activity must be based on the commander's guidance. These decisions are made with the understanding of the perspective and target priorities of other component targeting efforts throughout the campaign. Some priority targets may present themselves at the worst possible time for the accomplishment of the campaign plan.

## Jointtargeting Process Functions And Responsibilities D-8. The Jflcc Conducts The Joint Targeting Process Within An Established Organizational Framework. A Primary Consideration In Organizing This Framework Is The Joint Force's Ability To Coordinate, Deconflict, And

synchronize joint targeting operations.

D-9. The structure established by the JFLCC facilitates the joint targeting process. The JFLCC defines this structure based on the JFC's requirements, the capabilities of assigned, attached, and supporting forces, as well as the adversary, mission, and operational area. In addition, it must react to rapidly changing events. Likewise, it should execute all phases of the joint targeting process efficiently and continuously. (See JP 3-60 for more information.)

FIRES SYNCHRONIZATION
AND COORDINATION
D-10. The JFLCC accomplishes fires synchronization and coordination
through the J-3 in the deep operations coordination cell (DOCC) or force fires
coordination center (FFCC). The functions and responsibilities of the DOCC or FFCC are as follows:
- Advise on application of operational fires/effects.
- Identify fires effects requirements from other components (air
interdiction/naval surface fire support).
- Review and comment on the JFACC's apportionment recommendation.
- Recommend JFLCC assets for JFC allocation (ATACMS/attack
helicopter).
- Advise on fires asset distribution (priority) to land forces.
- Develop JFLCC priorities, timing, and effects for air interdiction
within the JFLCC AO.
- Develop JFLCC targeting guidance and priorities. - Develop the JFLC command target lists and FSCMs.
- Plan, coordinate, and supervise the execution of JFLCC deep
operations.
- Integrate and synchronize lethal and nonlethal fires.
- Coordinate with Army airspace command and control (A2C2) cell for
all planned airspace requirements.
D-11. Targets requiring immediate response because they pose a clear and present danger to friendly forces, or are highly lucrative, fleeting targets of opportunity are known as TSTs.

D-12. The fire support element (FSE) may establish a quick-fire net for the coordination of locating and striking TSTs. This may be by radio, phone conference call, or computer chatter link. As a minimum, this net links the DOCCIFFCC, collection management, and the battlefield coordination detachment (BCD). Additional nodes may be a major subordinate command (MSC) FSE, Army Air Missile Defense Command (AAMDC), special staff, J-3 current operations, and others as the situation dictates.

D-13. The quick-fire procedures, by definition, state targets submitted are of critical need. In the event an MSC has a quick-fire request, it may initiate a call on the quick-fire net. The request is evaluated on the basis of need, criticality, and comparison with other targets. If the MSC does not receive timely response or the request is denied, the DOCCIFFCC chief adjudicates the request.

D-14. All TST requirements must be forwarded directly to/handled by the FSE. Any section in receipt of TSTs will follow through until the requirement is handed over to the FSE.

D-15. The joint targeting process cuts across traditional functional and organizational boundaries. Operations, plans, and intelligence are the primary active participants, but other functional areas such as logistics, weather, law, and communications may also support the joint targeting process. Close coordination, cooperation, and communication are essential. The JFLCC
develops guidance that directs and focuses operation planning and targeting to support the CONOPS.

TARGETING COORDINATION BOARD
D-16. Typically, JFLCCs organize a targeting coordination board (TCB) to function as an integrating center to accomplish targeting oversight functions or as a JFLCC-level review mechanism. In either case, it needs to be a joint activity with representatives from the JFLC command staff, all components, and subordinate units.

D-17. JFLC command TCB responsibilities are
- To retain authority and responsibility to direct target priorities, relative
level of subordinate unit effort, and sequence of those efforts of his
subordinate units.
- To provide clear guidance and objectives for operational planning
and targeting.
- To update mission planning guidance, intent, and priority intelligence
requirements throughout the targeting process.
- To direct the formation, composition, and specific responsibilities of a
TCB.
D-18. JFLC command staff TCB responsibilities (overall) are
- To provide a forum for review of the joint targeting guidance and
apportionment.
- To advise the JFLCC on the plan to achieve overall theater plans and
objectives.
- To assist all subordinate units in translating JFLCC objectives and
guidance into coordinated subordinate operations and plans.
- To provide COAs in the form of board targeting guidance based on the
major OPLANs and priorities.
- To review the JFLCC major OPLANs several days in advance and to
act as an advisory board to the JFLCC to anticipate future operations in
his major operation. The TCB is a valuable vehicle to help the
JFLCC
- Coordinate targeting information.
- Develop targeting guidance and priorities.
- Define the desired effects ofjoint targeting. - Recommend supplemental ROEs.
- Review target information.
- Recommend changes to the JFC's restricted and no-strike target
lists.
- To compile subordinate targeting nominations/requirements and
prioritize targets based on JFLCC guidance.
- To develop the candidate target list (CTL) for JFLCC approval.

## D-19. Intelligence Directorate (J-2) Responsibilities Are

- To provide intelligence support to joint targeting. - To provide coordination of ISR resources, reporting, products, and
services to support the JFLCC's targeting requirements.
- To recommend collection priorities for JFC, theater, and national
tasking and to work with the J-3 to support collection requirements.
- To conduct CA and evaluate effectiveness of nonlethal operations to
provide CA to the J-3.
D-20. Operations and plans directorates (J-3/J-5) responsibilities are
- To ensure the J-2 has the required information/priorities for target
development, target acquisitiOn, and CA.
- To coordinate closely with the J-2 organic collection efforts. - To develop effects assessments for the JFLCC with support from the
staff and each subordinate and other functional components.
- To manage the TCB and related boards, including CA board and 10
working group and to provide TCB meeting results to each subordinate
unit and supporting forces.
D-2 1. Offensive 10 responsibilities are
- To coordinate JO defensive and offensive concepts and to establish
priorities to accomplish JO objectives to support the JFLCC's intent
and CONOPS.
- To determine the availability of resources to carry out 10 plan and to
coordinate intelligence and assessment support to JO.
- To serve as the primary advocate for offensive 10 '(lethal and
nonlethal) targets nominated for attack throughout the target nomination and review process established by the JFLCC.
D-22. Logistics directorate (J-4) responsibilities are
- To identify critical or key logistics issues unique to specific JFLCC
operations.
- To recommend logistics priorities for JFLCC taskings and identify
logistics shortfalls.
- To identify enemy logistics targets, (i.e., fuel storage depots and
pipelines, distribution infrastructure, and hubs to include both airports
and seaports) that would affect their capability to wage war.
- To review target selection for unnecessary adverse environmental
impacts (i.e., dams, oil fields, etc.).
D-23. Staff judge advocate responsibilities are to advise the TCB on
applicable international and domestic laws, Law of Armed Conflict issues,
ROEs, and other pertinent issues involved in target recommendations and
decisions processes.
D-24. Subordinate unit responsibilities are
- To identify requirements and nominate targets to the JFLCC. - To provide LNO team to include representation to the TCB.
- To recommend priorities for BDA collection requirements to the
JFLCC J-2.
COMPONENT TARGET COORDINATION RESPONSIBILITIES
D-25. The JFACC/JFC staff develops a joint air operations plan to accomplish the objectives directed by the JFC. Synchronization, integration, deconfliction, allocation of air capabilities/forces, and matching appropriate weapons against target vulnerabilities are essential targeting functions for the JFACC. Other components targeting requirements to support their assigned missions are provided to the JFC and JFACC for sourcing in attack.

Therefore, targets scheduled for deliberate attack by subordinate direct support air capabilities/forces should be included in the joint air tasking order
(ATO), when appropriate, for deconfliction and coordination.

D-26. All component commanders within the joint force should have a basic understanding of each component's mission and general CONOPS/scheme of maneuver to support the JFC's campaign plan. Therefore, the JFLCC provides the JFACC a description of the direct support plan through the liaison elements (BCDfMarine LNO) within the joint air operations center. This basic understanding allows for coordination and deconfliction of targeting efforts between each component and within the JFC staff and agencies.

D-27. Once guidance is received from higher headquarters, the target
nomination process begins with the deliberate targeting process. This may
include the following:
- Long-term planning guidance, the commander's intent for fires, and
other component guidance for coordination and situational awareness.
- Receipt of MSC guidance and intent for incorporation into the
JFLCC's targeting guidance.
- The JFLCC's intent as provided in OPORDS, OPLANS, operations
planning group information, and, most importantly, direct guidance.
D-28. The DOCCIFFCC presents guidance, objectives, and tasks (3 days out) to the daily targeting board (DTB) for approval or modification by the deputy JFLCC. These approved guidance, objectives, and tasks are provided to MSCs

for review, comment, and to provide basis for specific target nominations and to the DOCCIFFCC target development for input to draft CTL.

D-29. To create the CTL, DOCCIFFCC targeting receives the MSCs target nominations in accordance with the target objectives distributed from the DTB. MSC nominations and JFLCC pre-planned targets are combined to form the JFLCC prioritized list of targets. Targets nominations are then checked for CA, projected locations (mobile targets), and reviewed by objective and task to ensure consistency with the approved guidance. The next step is the CTL review board. This board is attended by representatives from the MSCs, the DOCCIFFCC chief, DOCCIFFCC targeting and operations, the staff judge advocate, and other staff elements as needed. This process allows the MSCs to gain visibility on their nominated targets. It also allows for review of targets by the staff judge advocate for law-of-land warfare compliance and no-strike list conflicts. The approved CTL is then forwarded to the BCD. The BCD then compares the CTL against JFLCC' s priorities for inclusion in ATO development.

AIR TASKING ORDER
D-30. An ATO is critical to the JFLCC. The ATO is the primary means of
shaping the operational level fight.
D-31. The DOCC/FFCC receives the ATO daily via the contingency theater
automated planning system/theater battle management core system. Upon
receipt of the ATO, the DOCCIFFCC completes the following tasks:
- Scrubs the ATO for non-JFLCC targets scheduled within the JFLCC
AO. If necessary, deconflicts JFLCC deep operations plan accordingly.
Notifies the JFACC through the BCDfMarine LNO of any planned
targets that would adversly impact the JFLCC's operation.
- Highlights JFLCC targets from the CTL that made the ATO.
- Highlights JFLCC component targets on the ATO.
- Prepares the divert list to cover essential targets that did not make the
ATO.
- Prepares the ATO book containing critical information pertaining to
the next day's ATO such as supported target list, ATO divert list, CTL,
ATO, battlespace shaping matrix, and special instructions.
D-32. To ensure complete information transfer, DOCCIFFCC conducts an ATO handover briefing for the next day's ATO with current operations FSE.

This handover book covers

- Situation update.
- Target guidance/objectives.
- CTL overview (number targets nominated, brief target overlay).
- ATO overview (number CTL targets supported, number CTL targets
nonsupported, ATO divert sheet, divert/re-role guidance and directives,
and CAS distribution.
- Current situation.
- Significant friendly situation (allocation of weight of effort of the
ATO, high payoff target list, fire support coordination line changes,
and weather impacts).
EFFECTS ASSESSMENT
D-33. Effects assessment addresses the effectiveness of overall joint targeting
in light of the JFLCC's objectives, guidance, and intent. It gives the JFLCC
and the JFC a broad perspective of the total effect ofjoint targeting against the enemy at the operational and strategic levels. The effects assessment attempts
to answer the following questions:
- Are combat operations (lethal and nonlethal achieving mission
objectives?
- Do objectives require modification?
- How effective was targeting in terms of impacting the enemy's
warfighting capabilities?
- What specific changes in combat operations would improve friendly
efforts to degrade the adversary's will and capability to conduct
operations?
- Has an adversary target system increased or decreased in importance
based on furture combat operations?
- Were there any unanticipated operational limitations?
D-34. The effects assessment is determined during the combat assessment board (CAB). The CAB is an action officer forum used by the commander to determine the overall effectiveness of force employment, fires, and maneuver to achieve commander's objectives. CA is composed of three major components
- BDA.

- Munitions effects assessment. - Re-attack recommendations.

D-35. The objective of the CAB is to identify and measure the effectiveness of joint actions and recommend courses of action. Some of the areas covered in the CAB include
- Current friendly and advesary 24-48-hour picture.

- A 72-hour outlook to ensure targeting is tied to current mission effectiveness.

- Spot reports, mission reports, and CA by target objective.
- Recommended targets for re-strike and recommended changes to
targeting objectives and guidance.
D-36. The following is a sample of CAB members:
- J-2 operations and plans.

- Intelligence production, CA, and collection management. - J-3 current operations, future operations and plans.
- J-3 DOCCIFFCC operations and target development.
- J-3 FSE.
- J-3 10.
- Coordinates the overall JO effort for the JFLCC.
- Coordinates 10 inputs from joint centers and agencies and
coordinates liaison with outside organizations such as the joint
information operations center and land information warfare
activity.
- Conducts and coordinates 10 working group meetings with the
seven elements (operational security, psychological operations,
electronic warfare (EW), civil affairs, public affairs, military
deception, and physical destruction; provides 10 working group
meeting results to the DTB and JFLCC staff.
- J-4 operations.
- J-7 engineers.
- AAMDC.
- MSC LNOs.
- Joint warfare analysis center.
- Land information warfare agency.

## Appendix E Force Protection

GENERAL
E- 1. Force protection is a responsibility of command, not a separate mission.

The JFLCC must consider all elements associated with meeting this requirement. This appendix provides additional clarity for theater air and missile defense (TAMD) operations and other force protection issues. Outside the context of AT, force protection includes actions taken to prevent or mitigate hostile actions against DOD personnel (to include family members), resources, facilities, and critical information. These actions conserve the force's fighting potential so it can be applied at the decisive time and place and incorporate the coordinated and synchronized offensive and defensive measures to enable the effective employment of the joint force while degrading opportunities for the enemy.

E-2. Force protection does not include actions to defeat the enemy or protect against accidents, weather, or disease. Figure E- I depicts elements of force protection.

THEATER AIR
AND MISSILE DEFENSE
E-3. The JFLCC ensures that TAMD operations conducted by land forces are planned, coordinated, and synchronized with the other components within the theater of operations. The JFLCC may employ the AAMDC to perform these functions. The AAMDC is an Army C2 headquarters tailored for joint operations and is capable of planning, coordinating, and synchronizing TAMD operations, including the theater missile defense (TMD) operational elements of active defense, passive defense, attack operations, and C4
intelligence.

E-4. The commander of the AAMDC performs three critical roles during TAMD operations. The commander commands the AAMDC and its subordinate echelon-above-corps ADA brigades, performs the functions of the theater Army air and missile defense coordinator (TAAMDCOORD) for the AR}OR (or JFLCC, if appointed), and performs the function of DAADC for the JFACC/area air defense commander (AADC).

E-5. The TAAMDCOORD, as a special staff officer to the ARFOR
commander or JFLCC, ensures Army/land-based air and missile defense
(AMD) is integrated with the joint and multinational active air defense operations and planning at the theater level. The TAAMDCOORD
recommends air and missile threats as offensive counterair and DCA priorities to the ARFOR commander/JFLCC, who in turn reviews and forwards these recommendations to the JFACC/AADC.

E-6. The DAADC provides the following TAMD support to the AADC:
- Integrates land-based AMD and DCA.

- Assists the AADC with the area air defense plan development.

- Advises the AADC on ROEs, airspace control measures, weapon control measures, and air defense warnings.

- Advises the AADC on land-based AMD operations and capabilities.

E-7. The AAMDC normally collocates with the ARFORJJFLCC
headquarters, but dependent on mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, and civilians (METT-TC), may collocate with the joint air operations center. The location of the commander and his role is also dependent on METT-TC. The commander is supported in the TAMD mission by AAMDC liaison teams that may deploy to all major theater C2 headquarters including the JFLCC, JFACC/AADC, JFMCC, and to the ARFOR elements of the DOCC, BCD, and aviation control element.

E-8. For additional guidance on AMD, refer to JP 3-01 and JP 3-01.5.

NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL DEFENSE
E-9. NBC defense measures protect against attack by NBC weapons and provide the capability to sustain operations in NBC environments using the principles of avoidance of NBC hazards, particularly contamination, protection of individuals and units from unavoidable NBC hazards, and decontamination.

E-10. Commanders at all levels are responsible for the following:
- Ensuring all personnel are proficient in the individual and collective
NBC defense skills required to carry out their respective missions in an
NBC environment.
- Conducting collective training designed to ensure units can execute
their mission-essential tasks in an NBC environment.
- Providing chemical defense equipment (CDE) to units and individuals.
At the minimum, ensure individuals and units have adequate stocks of
protection, detection, and decontamination equipment. Commanders
should continuously monitor CDE stocks to ensure they do not fall
below minimum levels established by the JFLCC.
- Implementing the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Warning and
Reporting System.
- In accordance with the policy of each service, maintaining a welltrained core of NBC defense specialists and service-specific NBC
defense infrastructure prepared to assist units to operate effectively in
an NBC environment.
- Providing NBC intelligence to higher, adjacent, subordinate, and
attached units.
- Developing and implementing automatic procedures for the
verification of enemy use of NBC. Being prepared to provide next
higher headquarters with verification of enemy first use of NBC
weapons in their AO.
- Developing
and
implementing NBC reconnaissance
and
decontamination plans. Being prepared to develop and implement
smoke plans in the event smoke generator units are placed in support of
unit operations.
E-1 1. Personnel having staff responsibility for NBC defense matters at all levels within each component will
- Advise the commander and staff on all aspects of NBC operations.

- Provide input on all plans and orders.

- Prepare, receive, collect, evaluate, and distribute NBC reports.
E-12. The NBC threat warning system is employed by the JFLCC to provide component commanders with information from which they can establish appropriate unit defense measures. This system consolidates the most current intelligence estimates regarding the enemy's offensive capabilities, intent, and activities, and recommends measures to be employed to combat this threat.

- The JFLCC J-3 establishes the NBC THREATCON in coordination with the J-2 and JFLCC NBC defense point of contact. Once established, the THREATCON is disseminated via J-2 and J-3
channels.

- Actions associated with each THREATCON are recommended, not directive in nature. They are based on current NBC defense doctrine but should be assessed in context of the unit's situation and mission.

- NBC THREATCONs are not synonymous with the mission-oriented protective posture (MOPP) levels. Threat is only one of the factors commanders consider when determining the appropriate MOPP level.

E-l3. The JFLCC, in coordination with and approval from the JFC, establishes close relationships with US departments and agencies within their sphere of C2. Networks are established with diplomatic missions and country teams within the AO. These sources may provide valuable intelligence on the likelihood of enemy intent to introduce NBC weapons. They may also produce data on the political and psychological implications, as well as military aspects of effectively countering NBC weapons beyond that provided by intelligence sources subordinate to the JFLCC.

E-14. For additional guidance on NBC defense, refer to J.P 3-11.

ANTITERRORISM MEASURES
E-15. In AT, force protection is the security program designed to protect Service members, civilian employees, family members, facilities, and equipment, in all locations and situations. This is accomplished through planned and integrated application of combating terrorism, physical security, operations security (OPSEC), and personal protective services and is supported by CI and other security programs.

E-16. To meet the terrorist threat, an integrated and comprehensive JFLCC
AT program must be developed and implemented. AT measures are intended to identify and reduce the risk of loss or damage of potential targets and to develop procedures to detect and deter planned terrorist actions before they take place, thereby reducing the probability of a terrorist event. The measures also encompass the reactive or tactical stage of an incident, including direct contact with terrorists to end the incident with minimum loss of life and property. For assets under the control of the JFLCC, an appropriate division of responsibilities is coordinated with the JFC.

E- 17. The AT program stresses deterrence of terrorist incidents through
preventive measures. The program addresses the following:
- Threat analysis.
- Installation or unit criticality and vulnerability assessments.
- Threat assessment based on the threat analysis and friendly
vulnerabilities.
- Information security.
- OPSEC.
- Personnel security.
- Physical security.
- Crisis management planning.
- Employment of tactical measures to contain or resolve terrorist
incidents.
- Continuous training and education of personnel.
- Public affairs planning.
E- 18. For additional guidance on AT, refer to JP 3-07.2.

DEFENSIVE INFORMATION OPERATIONS
E-19. Defensive 10 integrate and coordinate protection and defense of information and information systems (which include C4 systems, sensors, weapon systems, infrastructure systems, and decision-makers). Defensive 10
is an integral part of overall force protection. Defensive 10 is conducted through information assurance, physical security, OPSEC, counter-deception, counter-psychological operations, CI, EW, and special information operations.

Defense 10 personnel coordinate defense JO objectives to support the JFLCC's intent and concept of operations.

E-20. Four interrelated processes comprise defensive JO
- Information environment protection.
- Attack detection.
- Capability restoration.
- Attack response.
E-21. The JFLCC is responsible for effectively integrating defensive 10. An
10 officer should be designated. This officer or an assistant interfaces with the joint force 10 cell to provide component expertise and acts as a liaison for 10
matters between the joint force and the component. This representative also may serve as a member of one or more of the supporting organizations of 10
(e.g., the special technical operations cell). E-22. For additional guidance on defensive 10, refer to J:P 3-13.

PHYSICAL
SECURITY MEASURES
E-23. Physical security measures deter, detect, and defend against threats from terrorists, criminals, and unconventional force:;. Measures include fencing and perimeter standoff space, lighting and sensors, vehicle barriers, blast protection, intrusion detection systems and electronic surveillance, and access control devices and systems.

E-24. Physical security measures, like any defense, should be overlapping and deployed in depth.

E-25. For additional guidance on physical security measures, refer to JP 3-10
and JP 3-10.1.

OPERATIONS SECURITY MEASURES
E-26. Effective OPSEC measures minimize the signature of JFLCC activities, avoid set patterns, and employ deception when patterns cannot be altered.

Although strategic OPSEC measures are important, the most effective methods manifest themselves at the lowest level.

E-27. Terrorist activity is discouraged by varying patrol routes, staffing guard posts and towers at irregular intervals, and conducting vehicle and personnel searches and identification checks on a set but unpredictable pattern.

E-28. Law enforcement aids in force protection through the prevention, detection, response, and investigation of crime. A cooperative police program involving military and civilian/host-nation law enforcement agencies directly contributes to overall force protection.

E-29. Personnel security measures range from general measures of AT to specialized personal protective services. They include commonsense rules of on- and off-duty conduct, use of protective clothing and equipment, use of hardened vehicles and facilities, employment of dedicated guard forces, and use of duress alarms.

E-30. For additional guidance on OPSEC, refer to JP 3-54.

PLANNING
E-31. The JFLCC must address force protection during all phases of deliberate and crisis action planning. All aspects of force protection must be considered and threats minimized to ensure maximum operational success. The JFLCC and subordinate commanders must implement force protection measures appropriate to anticipated terrorist threats.

E-32. Supported and supporting commanders must ensure that deploying forces receive thorough briefings concerning the threat and personnel protection requirements prior to and upon arrival in the theater of operations.

E-33. In addition, the JFLCC and subordinate commanders must evaluate the deployment of forces and each COA for the impact of terrorist organizations supporting the threat and those not directly supporting the threat but seeking to take advantage of the situation.

E-34. For additional guidance on force protection and related matters and considerations, refer to risk management and OPSEC guidance in JP 3-07.2.

## Appendix F Notional Headquarters Organization

GENERAL
F-i. The JFLC command staff is organized based upon the mission and forces assigned. Since formation of a new headquarters would be very time consuming and inefficient, the staff organization will most likely be based upon an existing command element. The most likely candidates are an Army corps, a MAGTF (most likely a MEF), Army or Marine Service component command or, when separately constituted, a numbered army.

F-2. Augmentees from the other Services are integrated into the core staff to form the JFLC command staff. Ideally, the JFLCC and his deputy would come from different Services. This construct should be replicated throughout the staff leadership to ensure an understanding of the distinct capabilities of each Service to optimize employment of the forces. Figure F-i depicts a notional staff organization.

STAFF
F-3. While Figure F-i depicts a notional staff organization, it is not prescriptive. The practical assumption is that the actual staff organization is based on the staff organization of the corps, MAGTF, or army that forms the core of the staff with some staff members being dual-hatted. Therefore, the actual location of certain sections (i.e., engineer) and the specific special staff vary according to the organization of the core staff and METT-T.

STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES
F-4. The J- I is the principal staff assistant for personnel service support and personnel administration. The majority of personnel and administrative actions is handled via the Service component G- I through the JFC J- 1. The JFC J-1 is responsible for monitoring current and projected unit strengths by daily personnel status, casualty, and critical reports of personnel shortages.

The JFC J- 1 analyzes these reports and determines any effects they would have on land operations. These reports would be routinely provided from the ARFOR and MARFOR G-ls to the JFC with copy furnished to the JFLCC
J- 1. Note: The JFLCC J- 1 is not in the formal personnel reporting chain. A
notional J-1 organization is provided in Figure F-2.

F-5. The primary role of the J-2 is to provide intelligence support to the JFLCC. A notional organization of the JFLCC J-2 staff is detailed in Figure F-3. The following intelligence-related actions are the responsibility of the J-2
staff:

- Maintain an intelligence watch in the operations and intelligence (O&I)
center.
- Coordinate and maintain technical control over specialty, multidisciplined intelligence and CI support to the commander and
subordinate elements.
- Establish an all-source intelligence cell in, or adjacent to, the O&I
center. The all-source cell is supported, as required, by coalition
intelligence assets (if available) that remain under national control.
- Complete an initial intelligence estimate and maintain updates as
required by the operational situation.
- Establish and maintain an intelligence collection management and RFI
management system.
- Complete coalition all-source analysis and dissemination.
- Establish and maintain adversary and hostile databases to support
operations and planning.
- Act as central point of contact for RFIs from subordinate staffs.
F-8. The JFLCC J-4 formulates and implements logistics plans within the AO
for forces assigned or attached to the land force. The JFLCC J-4 oversees the implementation of these plans by monitoring the logistics requirements of the JFLCC components and performs an analysis for logistical impacts on land operations. A notional JFLCC J-4 staff organization is depicted in Figure F-5.

The following actions are the responsibility of the J-4:
- Monitors and coordinates the logistics functions and requirements of the JFLCC.

- Advises JFLCC concerning logistics matters affecting joint, combined,
and coalition support to land operations.
- Prepares and/or assists the Service component G-4s on the concept of
logistics support for the AO and the logistics annexes of JFLCC
OPLANs and OPORDs.
- Recommends to JFLCC, within the guidelines established by the JFC,
priorities for the allocation of logistics resources among assigned
forces within the AO.
- Participates in jointlmultinational logistics boards and centers that
directly impact on land operations.
- Maintains liaison with the other JFLCC staff, agencies, and JFC
counterparts to keep abreast of the current logistics, operational, and
intelligence situations.
F-9. JFLCC J-5 operational planning addresses activities required for
conducting land force operations. A notional JFLCC J-5 staff is depicted at
Figure F-6. J-5 responsibilities for the employment and sustainment of land
forces include:
- Employment planning prescribing how to apply force/forces to attain
specified military objectives.
- Sustainment planning directed toward providing and maintaining levels
of personnel, materiel, and consumables required to sustain the planned
levels of combat activity for the estimated duration and at the desired
level of intensity.
F-lO.The J-6 staff provides theaterwide voice, data, and message connectivity
between all components and MSCs/major subordinate elements. A notional
J-6 staff organization is at Figure F-7. The following actions are the
responsibility of the J-6:
- Advises the JFLCC and staff on all C4 matters.
- Maintains overview of operations that require recommending changes
in action or operations, as required.
- Oversees the establishment of a systems control (SYSCON) center to
support top-level network control and management within the
operations area and give direction and mission guidance.
- Prepares and reviews C4 plans, policies, annexes, and operating
instructions, as required, for JFLCC operations.
- Requests the necessary communications support resources through the
JFC J-6. Identifies C4 shortfalls to JFC J-6 for sourcing. Tasks
subordinate components for C4 support as required.
- Plans, coordinates, and activates, when required, C4 facilities to
provide rapid and reliable communications in support of the JFLCC.

## Appendix G Multinational Considerations

GENERAL
G-l. To most effectively exploit the capabilities of multinational land forces, the multinational force commander (MNFC) normally designates an overall land component commander (LCC). The LCC must shift focus, tailor forces, and move from one role or mission to another rapidly and efficiently. In the absence of an LCC, the MNFC must plan, direct, and control land operations.

Due to the complexity and fluidity of land operations, designation of an LCC
may provide the MNFC greater flexibility to conduct multinational operations. Multinational force considerations consist of coalition and alliance operations. Each coalition or alliance will create the structure that best meets the needs, political goals, constraints, and objectives of the participating nations.

0-2. In alliance operations, such as those conducted by NATO, there are normally existing land commands that serve as the JFLCC or coalition force land component command.

0-3. In coalition operations, which are ad hoc, the JFC/coalition force commander (CFC) has the option to establish a land component command. When the JFC/CFC establishes a land component command, then the LCC
and his staff must be aware of a myriad of additional issues that the JFLCC
does not deal with because of the nature of coalition warfare. These issues include but are not limited to

- C2 considerations.
- Intelligence sharing. - Operational constraints.
- ROEs.
- Logistics.
G-4. To be successful in coalition operations, it is imperative that sound and effective command relationships are developed. The national authorities providing forces to the coalition normally assign national forces under

OPCONITACON of the CFC. The assignment of these national forces under OPCON/TACON may be qualified by caveats from the respective nations in accordance with their national policies. Further assignment to functional component commanders in an OPCON/TACON status by the CFC is subject to approval by the respective NCA.

LAND COMPONENT COMMAND HEADQUARTERS AND STAFF
0-5. The establishment of the land component command headquarters will most likely be based on the structure of the JFC headquarters. It may be a lead or framework nation headquarters, a parallel command structure, or both depending on the command structure of the coalition itself. In the lead or framework nation concept, appropriate C2, communications, and intelligence procedures are determined by the lead or framework nation, working in close consultation with the other national contingents. In coalition operations, unity of effort must be achieved. The principle of unity of command also applies, but this principle may be more difficult to attain.

0-6. Depending on the size, complexity, and duration of the operation, staff augmentation from other national contingents may be required to supplement the lead nation LCC staff to ensure that the lead nation headquarters is representative of the entire coalition. Such augmentation may include designated deputies or assistant commanders, planners, and logisticians. This facilitates the planning process by providing the LCC with a source of expertise on coalition members. Augmentation is required if a coalition partner possesses unique organizations or capabilities not found in the forces of the lead nation.

0-7. The LCC staff should be composed of appropriate members in key positions from each country having forces in the coalition. Positions on the staff should be divided so that country representation and influence generally reflect the composition of the force, but are also based in part on the mission and type of operations to be conducted. Coalition commanders must also look at force composition as it applies to capabilities, limitations, and required support. The importance of knowing, trusting, and quickly reaching a comfort level with staff members may make it desirable for the LCC to handpick some members of his staff, such as the chief of staff or 0-3.

## Command Focus

G-8. Successful coalitions are built on the commanders focus on the political objective, assigned mission, sensitivity to the needs of other coalition members, a willingness to compromise or come to a consensus when necessary, and mutual confidence.

0-9. The intangible considerations that guide the actions of all participants, especially the senior commander, are rapport, respect, knowledge of partners, team building, and patience. These factors cannot guarantee success for the coalition, but ignoring them can usually guarantee failure of the coalition in accomplishing its mission.

## Coordination And Control

0-10. There are two essential structural enhancements that improve control of coalition forces: the establishment of a liaison network and coordination centers. Regardless of the command structure established, the need for effective liaison is vital in any coalition force.

0-il. The use of liaison is an invaluable confidence-building tool between the coalition force and subordinate commands. It also fosters a better understanding of mission and tactics, facilitates the transfer of vital information, enhances mutual trust, and develops an increased level of teamwork. It is also a significant source of information for the LCC about subordinate force readiness, training, and other factors. Early establishment reduces the fog and friction caused by incompatible communications systems, doctrine, and operating procedures. Once established, the liaison teams are the direct representatives of their respective commanders.

0-12. Another proven means of enhancing stability, synchronization, deconfliction, and interaction and improving control within a coalition is the use of a coordination center. Coalition forces should routinely create such a center in the early stages of any coalition effort, especially one that is operating under a parallel command structure. The coordination center can be used for C2, and variations can organize and control a variety of functional areas, including logistics and civil-military operations. Initially, a coordination center can be the focal point for support issues such as force sustainment, medical support, infrastructure engineering, host-nation support, and movement control. However, as a coalition matures, the role of the coordination center can be expanded to include command activities. When a

coordination center is activated, member nations provide action officers who are familiar with its activities. Coalition nations should be encouraged to augment this staff with linguists and requisite communications capabilities to maintain contact with their parent headquarters. Early establishment and staffing of skilled personnel adds to the success of such centers.

## Standardize Procedures

0-13. All coalition force troops must fully understand the mission, goals, and objectives of the operation. SOPs should be established.

0-14. SOPs should be clear and easy to understand. When there is a lead nation, its SOP is used for most purposes. The coalition force must remember that many countries are not staffed or equipped to offer a full spectrum of support. They may not possess a full array of combat support or combat service support assets, maps of the projected AO, or the capability to obtain or use intelligence and imagery data of the type commonly used by other coalition forces. These military forces probably will look to other nations for equipment and supplies. It is important to know what agreements exist with these forces before their arrival in the projected AO.

INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
AND DISSEMINATION
0-15. As every coalition is different, so too are the ways in which intelligence is collected and disseminated within the coalition. LCCs may use existing international standardization agreements to establish rules and policies or may tailor rules and policy based on theater guidance and national policy as contained in National Disclosure Policy 1. The following general principles provide a starting point:
- Maintain unity of effort.

- Make adjustments.

- Plan early and plan concurrently.
- Share all necessary information.
- Conduct complementary operations.
G-16. Classification may present a problem in releasing information, but keeping as much unclassified as feasible improves interoperability and trust within the coalition. The commander must know what his own and other nation's positions are on intelligence sharing. Early sharing of information during planning ensures that coalition requirements are clearly stated, that guidance supports the commander's intent, and the coalition uses procedures supportable by other nations.

0-17. An intelligence operational architecture must be established. A land component command intelligence center is necessary for merging and prioritizing the intelligence requirements. A standardized methodology for disseminating and exchanging intelligence is required as well as the exchange of intelligence liaison personnel. In some situations, there may be more than one level of intelligence required.

COMMUNICATIONS
0-18. The capability to communicate is fundamental to successful operations. Key to successful communications is the preparation during planning. The mission analysis and assessment process provides the opportunity for the land component command communications officer to identify communication requirements and evaluate in-country capability.

Many communication issues can be resolved through equipment exchange and liaison teams. Continual liaison between communications planners helps alleviate interoperability issues.

0-19. Communication requirements vary with the mission, composition, and geography of the land component command AO. Interoperability is often constrained by the least technologically advanced nation. The land component command force should address the need for integrated communications among all forces early in the planning phase of the operation.

Communications should be provided between the land component command and its coalition land subordinates, which may go through national contingent headquarters. In MOOTW, it is important to communicate with civilian agencies. In the transition phase/planning, the communications transition may involve follow-on units, commercial communications, or agencies like the United Nations being considered early in the operation
0-20. The LCC should plan for adequate communications to include the ability to communicate using voice (secure and nonsecure), data, and video teleconferencing. The LCC needs a deployable communications capability and enough trained operators for sustained operations, with multiple means of communication to avoid the possibility of a single-point failure.

INTEGRATION OF CAPABILITIES
G-21. Each participating nation provides its own distinct forces and capabilities to a coalition. These capabilities differ based on national interests, objectives, arms control limitations, doctrine, organization, training, leader development, and equipment, history, defense budget, and domestic politics.

The orchestration of these capabilities into land component command operations is dependent on differences in organization, capabilities, and doctrine. If other nations are also involved, these differences will be much greater. Understanding these differences is the difference between success and failure in coalition operations. Units of the same type in one nation's army may not perform the same functions as units in another army. An engineer unit in one army may have capabilities to build roads or buildings, while another may be limited to laying out minefields or building defensive positions.

G-22. The LCC must integrate these capabilities to achieve the desired end state. Selecting the right mix is a challenge. The coalition staff must be proactive in understanding the capabilities and limitations of the nations in the coalition force. Representatives of each nation must be present during planning. If a unit is given a mission it is incapable of performing, the plan will not work. National representatives can ensure that taskings are appropriate to the force. If possible, national representatives should be available in each staff element. They must be thoroughly familiar with their nation's capabilities and limitations.

## Rules Of Engagement

G-23. ROEs are directives to military forces and individuals that define the circumstances, conditions, degree, and manner in which forces or actions may or may not be applied. Although the participants may have similar political mandates, each nation is likely to come to the coalition with different national ROEs reflecting its reason for entering the coalition. Some national ROEs are relatively free of constraint while others may be severely constrained. In many cases, commanders of deployed forces may lack the authority to speak on behalf of their nation in the ROE development process. Complete consensus or standardization of ROEs should be sought, but may not be achievable.

G-24. The LCC needs to reconcile differences as much as possible to develop and implement simple ROEs that can be tailored by member forces to their national policies. For the individual soldier to understand and implement ROEs, they must be clear and simple. Trying to obtain concurrence for ROEs from national authorities is a time-consuming process and should be addressed early in the planning process.

0-25. When consensus on ROEs cannot be achieved, the commander must consider how to employ multinational forces within their own ROEs.

LOGISTICS
G-26. Logistics are more complex in multinational operations and require more planning and coordination than that of a single nation. Although logistics is the overall responsibility of each contributing nation, some forcecontributing nations do not have the assets to provide and/or transport their own logistical support when deployed and therefore must rely on nations with these capabilities. In these cases, the LCC must coordinate required support to both military and civilian organizations within the guidelines and plans of the higher level multinational command. Support may include both deployment and sustainment. For deployment, close liaison with theater airlift C2 can assist in coordinating approval and facilitating airlift once approved. When support is required, ensure funding lines are clearly identified.

0-27. Unity of effort is essential to land component command logistics operations; however, multinational logistics planning is primarily the responsibility of the lead C-4, not land component command C-4. This requires coordination not only between nations, but also with civilian agencies in the AO. The execution of land component command logistics may be a collective responsibility, but must be coordinated and planned within the'
higher level multinational command guidance. When possible, mutual landoperations-oriented logistics support should be developed for economy of effort. Land component command logistics should be flexible, responsive, predictive, and provide timely sustainment throughout the entire force. The land component command logistics plan should incorporate the logistics'
requirements and capabilities of all land forces to ensure sustained' and synchronized execution. Consensus on land component command logistics issues and requirements should be formed early. Thus requires thorough knowledge of coalition force doctrine and good relations with subordinate commanders and civilian leaders as well as cooperation and continuous coordination between all elements providing logistics support and the operational elements. This must begin during the initial planning phase and continue through the operation's termination. (Refer to JP 4-08 for further discussion.)
G-28. It is essential that logistics be planned for the entire coalition force with a single command providing as much control as possible and within the limitations of interoperability. The creation of a sing][e coalition logistics command provides economy of assets and system efficiency. Even if coalition participants insist upon maintaining a national logistics structure, assigning a lead for logistics responsibility precludes duplication of effort. The G-4/S-4
should establish a planning group to define the extent of interoperability that exists between coalition forces. Funding authority to support coalition forces should be identified as early as possible and procedures developed to ensure there is no adverse impact on operations.

## Appendix H Operational Tasks

GENERAL
H-i. This appendix defines the role and responsibilities of the JFLCC by providing a menu of capabilities with associated conditions and standards that may be selected by the JFC to accomplish the mission. These tasks, derived from the UJTL, describe in broad terms the capabilities of our Armed Forces.

The tasks described provide a common language (method) for stating capabilities required in the execution of jointimultinational operations.

SCOPE
H-2. The following three categories characterize the scope and level of JFLCC's involvement in performance of stated tasks, subordinate tasks, and enabling tasks generally at the operational level of war necessary for the land force to support/conduct campaigns and major operations.

- Responsibility. The JFLCC is actively and directly engaged in
commanding, controlling, and directing the land force in accomplishment of tasks, subordinate tasks, and enabling tasks so
designated.
- Influences. The JFLCC provides broad guidance sufficient to assure
integration, synchronization, and full synergy of the efforts of each land force MSC, in the context of the overall ground operation, toward
accomplishment of the tasks, subordinate tasks, and enabling tasks so
designated. The JFLCC then monitors progress in execution of these,
providing additional guidance only as required.
- Interest. The JFLCC requires some level of awareness and/or status on
accomplishment of tasks, subordinate tasks, and enabling tasks so
designated in order to effectively C2 the ground forces but provides guidance only on an exception basis.
CORE TASKS/FUNCTIONS
H-i. The following is from a land force perspective US land forces routinely have an organic aviation combat element whose operations are an integral and critical aspect of the land force's operations.

OP.1 OPERATIONAL MANEUVER
AND MOVEMENT
(JFLCC RESPONSIBILITY)
H-2. This is the disposition of joint and/or multinational land forces, conventional forces, and SOF to create a decisive impact on the conduct of a campaign or major operations by either securingthe operational advantages of position before battle is joined or exploiting tactical success to achieve operational or strategic results. This activity includes moving or deploying land forces for operational advantage within a theater (or area) of operations and conducting maneuver to operational depths (for offensive or defensive purposes). It also includes enhancing the mobility of friendly forces, degrading the mobility of enemy forces, and controlling a land, sea, and air or space area for operational advantage. Movement and maneuver can be on the land, under the sea, or in the air. Operational formations are actually composed of groupings of tactical forces moving to achieve operational or strategic objectives.

OP.!.! CONDUCT OPERATIONAL MOVEMENT (JFLCC RESPONSIBILITY)
H-3. This is the regrouping, deploying, shifting, or moving of joint/multinational formations within a theater (or area) of operations from less threatening or less promising areas to more decisive positions elsewhere
(that is, the friendly position obtained relative to the enemy) by any means
(joint, allied, host nation, or third country) or mode (air, land, or sea).

## Op.1.1.1 Formulate Request For Strategic Deployment Of Joint/Combined Forces To Theater Of Operations (Jflcc Influences) H-4. The Jflcc Recommends The Land Force Operational Plan. If This Plan Is Approved By The Jflcc Jfc, Then The Jflccs Recommendations Should Influence The Timing, Sequence Priority, And Arrival Location For Land Forces Deploying Into Theater. Op.1.L.2 Conduct Intratheater Of Operations Deployment Of Forces (E.G., Deployments Within The Theater [Or Area] Of Operations) (Jflcc Influences) H-5. The Jflcc Recommends The Land Force Plan. If This Plan Is Approved, Then The Jflccs Recommendations Should Influence The Intratheater Movement Of Forces In Terms Of Allocating Land, Air, And, To Some Extent, Maritime Movement Assets.

OP.1.2 CONDUCT OPERATIONAL MANEUVER
(JFLCC RESPONSIBILITY)
H-6. This is the deployment of joint, multinational, operational, conventional, and SOF forces to and from battle formations and to extend forces to operational depths to achieve a position of advantage over the enemy for accomplishing operational or strategic objectives.

OP.1.2.1 TRANSITION TO AND FROM
TACTICAL BATTLE FORMATIONS (JFLCC INFLUENCES)
H-7. The land force plan should indicate disposition of operational forces in terms of width and depth (land force battlefield geometry) to increase tactical readiness in conformance to the operational commander's campaign or major OPLAN and intent. JFLCC provides sufficient direction to ensure coordination of all land force activity, without meddling or overcontrol.

OP.1.2.2 POSTURE FORCES FOR
OPERATIONAL FORMATIONS
(JFLCC RESPONSIBILITY)
H-8. The land force plan should group forces and means into operational formations for the conduct of major operations and 'campaigns. Operational formations (e.g., echelons of combined arms organizations, like a MEF with Army maneuver and combat support, and combat service support forces) must support the commander's concept and provide for effective use of all forces, a capability for maneuvering and increasing the strength and means during the operation, a rapid transition from one type of operation to another without the loss of momentum or effectiveness, the conduct of continuous operations, and for protection of the force.

OP.1.2.3 CONDUCT OPERATIONS IN DEPTH
(JFLCC RESPONSIBILITY)
H-9. The JFLCC designs offensive and/or defensive land operations to operational depths to achieve a position of advantage (shapes the battlefield)
for the defeat or neutralization of enemy operational forces. This may include amphibious, air, and space forces.

OP.1.3 PROVIDE OPERATIONAL MOBILITY (JFLCC INFLUENCES)
H-b. Operational mobility facilitates the movement of joint and multinational operational formations in campaign or major operations without delays due to operationally significant terrain or obstacles.

OP.1.3.1 OVERCOME OPERATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLES (JFLCC INFLUENCES)
H-l 1. To preserve freedom of movement by counteracting the effects of natural (existing/mountain ranges, depressions, sabkhas, major rivers, river deltas, marshlands, urban terrain, thick forests, etc.) and operationally significant obstacles (reinforcing/minefields, ditches, and other barriers), the JFLCC would assess then direct appropriate allocation of engineer mobility assets.

## Op.1.3.2 Enhance Movement Of Operational Forces (Jflcc Responsibility)

H-12. To prepare or improve facilities (e.g., airfields, landing zones, sea/river ports, transmodal transload areas) and routes (e.g., roads, railroads, canals, rivers) of travel for moving operational forces. This should also involve the JFLCC communicating expectations as far as the future use of these facilities.

If future offensive operations rely on the use of the enemy's railway system, then the JFLCC provides guidance on what needs to be preserved for future use yet still denying the present use to the enemy.

## Op.1.4 Provide Operational Countermo]Flility (Jflcc Influences) H-13. To Delay, Channel, Or Stop Offensive Air, Land, And Sea Movement By Enemy Operational Formations To Help Create Positional Advantage Lbr Friendly

joint and multinational operational forces and expose enemy COGs or high payoff targets to destruction.

OP.1.4.1 SELECT LOCATION FOR
OPERATIONAL OBSTACLES
(JFLCC RESPONSIBILITY)
H-14. Identify air, land, and sea sites for reinforcing or constructing obstacles to take maximum advantage of existing obstacles to form a system of obstacles (normally on a large scale) for operational effect, while providing flexibility of friendly movement and increasing the variety of obstacles the enemy must encounter (this would be integrated with the overall operational design). This implies that once the land force plan is developed, appropriate guidance in the form of designating obstacle zones and obstacle-free/restricted zones should be indicated (if appropriate) to ensure that subordinate tactical obstacle employment does not interfere with current or planned land force maneuver. (For example, the battle of Kursk involved an integrated defense by multiple corps and armies. This was accomplished not by simply coordinating the obstacle plans of subordinate formations but through operational design.)

## Op.1.4.2 Emplace Operational Systems Of Obstacles (Jflcc Influences) H-15. Develop Existing Obstacle And Reinforce Terrain With Countermobility Means (E.G., Minefields, Demolition).

OP.1.5 CONTROL OPERATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
air interdiction
Air operations conducted to destroy,
neutralize, or delay the enemy's military
potential before it can be brought to bear effectively against friendly forces at such distance from friendly forces that detailed integration of each air mission with the fire
and movement of friendly forces is not
required. (JP 1-02)
amphibious A geographical area, delineated in the
objective area
initiating directive, for purposes of command and control within which is located the objective(s) to be secured by the amphibious task force. This area must be of sufficient size to ensure accomplishment of the amphibious
task force's mission and must provide
sufficient area for conducting necessary sea, air, and land operations. (JP 1-02)
area air
Within a unified command, subordinate
defense commander
unified command, or joint task force, the
commander will assign overall responsibility
for air defense to a single commander. Normally, this will be the component commander with the preponderance of air defense capability and the command, control,
and communications capability to plan and
execute integrated air defense operations. Representation from the other components involved will be provided, as appropriate, to
the area air defense commander's
headquarters. Also called AADC. (JP 1-02)
area of operations
An operational area defined by the joint force
commander for land and naval forces. Areas of
operation do not typically encompass the
entire operational area of the joint force commander, but should be large enough for

component commanders to accomplish their missions and protect their forces. Also called AO. (JP 1-02)

battle damage assessment
The timely and accurate estimate of damage
resulting from the application of military force, either lethal or nonlethal, against a
predetermined objective. Battle damage assessment can be applied to the employment of all types of weapon systems (air, ground, naval, and special forces weapon systems)
throughout the range of military operations.
Battle damage assessment is primarily an
intelligence responsibility with required inputs and coordination from the operators. Battle damage assessment is composed of physical damage assessment, functional damage
assessment, and target system assessment.
Also called BDA. (JP 1-02)
civil-military operations
Group of planned activities in support of
military operations that enhances the relationship between the military forces and civilian authorities and population and which promote the development of favorable emotions, attitudes, or behavior in neutral,
friendly, or hostile groups. (JP 1-02)
combatant command
Nontransferable command authority
(conimand authority)
established by Title 10 (Armed Forces),
United States Code, section 164, exercised only by commanders of unified or specified
combatant commands unless otherwise
directed by the President or the Secretary of
Defense. Combatant command (command
authority) cannot be delegated and is the authority of a combatant commander to
perform those functions of command over
assigned forces involving organizing and
employing commands and forces, assigning

tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training, and logistics necessary to accomplish the missions assigned to the command. Combatant command (command authority) should be exercised through the commanders of subordinate organizations. Normally this authority is exercised through subordinate joint force commanders and Service and/or functional component commanders. Combatant command (command authority) provides full authority to organize and employ commands and forces as the combatant commander considers necessary to accomplish assigned missions. Operational control is inherent in combatant command (command authority).

Also called COCOM. (JP 1-02)

defensive counterair
All defensive measures designed to detect,
identify, intercept, and destroy or negate
enemy forces attempting to attack or penetrate the friendly air environment. Also called DCA.
(JP 1-02)

fire support A fire support coordination measure that is coordination line established and adjusted by appropriate land or amphibious force commanders within their boundaries in consultation with superior, subordinate, supporting, and affected commanders. Fire support coordination lines
(FSCLs) facilitate the expeditious attack of surface targets of opportunity beyond! the coordinating measure. An FSCL does not divide an area of operations by defining a boundary between close and deep operations or a zone for close air support. The FSCL applies to all fires of air, land, and sea-based weapon systems using any type of ammunition. Forces attacking targets beyond an FSCL must inform all affected commanders in sufficient time to allow necessary reaction to avoid fratricide. Supporting elements attacking targets beyond the FSCL must ensure that the attack will not produce adverse effects on, or to the rear of, the line. Short of an FSCL, all air-to-ground and surface-tosurface attack, operations are controlled by the appropriate land or amphibious force commander. The FSCL should follow welldefined terrain features. Coordination of attacks beyond the FSCL is especially critical to commanders of air, land, and special operations forces. In exceptional circumstances, the inability to conduct this coordination will not preclude the attack of targets beyond the FSCL. However, failure to do so may increase the risk of fratricide and could waste limited resources. Also called FSCL. (JP 1-02)

functional
A command normally, but not necessarily,
component command
composed of forces of two or more military
departments which may be established across
the range of military operations to perform
particular operational missions that may be of
short duration or may extend over a period of time. (JP 1-02)
joint force air
The joint force air component commander
component commander
derives authority from the joint force
commander who has the authority to exercise
operational control, assign missions, direct coordination among subordinate commanders,
redirect and organize forces to ensure unity of
effort in the accomplishment of the overall mission. The joint force commander will
normally designate a joint force air component
commander. The joint force air component commander 's responsibilities will be assigned

by the joint force commander (normally these would include, but not be limited to, planning, coordination, allocation, and tasking based on the joint force commandeir's apportionment decision). Using the joint force commander's guidance and authority, and in coordination with other Service component commanders and other assigned or supporting commanders, the joint force air component commander will recommend to the joint force commander apportionment of air sorties to various missions or geographic areas. Also called JFACC. (JP 1-02) (Note: The revised JP 3-0
will modify this term and definition.)

joint force commander A general term applied to a combatant
commander, subunified commander, or joint
task force commander authorized to exercise
combatant command (command authority) or operational control over a joint force. Also
called JFC. (JP 1-02)

joint force land The commander within a unified command, component commander subordinate unified command, or joint task force responsible to the establishing commander for making recommendations on the proper employment of land forces, planning and coordinating land operations, or accomplishing such operational missions as may be assigned. The joint force land component commander is given the authority necessary to accomplish missions and tasks assigned by the establishing commander. The joint force land component commander will normally be the commander with the preponderance of land forces and the requisite command and control capabilities. Also called JFLCC. (JP 1-02) (Note: The revised JP 3-0
will modify this term and definition.)

joint force maritime
The commander within a unified command,
component commander
subordinate unified command, or joint task force responsible to the establishing commander for making recommendations on the proper employment of maritime forces and
assets, planning and coordinating maritime
operations, or accomplishing such operational
missions as may be assigned. The joint force
maritime component commander is given the authority necessary to accomplish missions and tasks assigned by the establishing commander. The joint force maritime
component commander will normally be the commander with the preponderance of maritime forces and the requisite command and control capabilities. Also called JFMCC.
(JP 1-02) (Note: The revised JP 3-0 will
modify this term and definition.)
joint force
The commander within a unified command,
special operations
subordinate unified command, or joint task
component commander
force responsible to the establishing
commander for making recommendations on
the proper employment of special operations
forces and assets, planning and coordinating
special operations, or accomplishing such
operational missions as may be assigned. The
joint force special operations component
commander is given the authority necessary to
accomplish missions and tasks assigned by the establishing commander. The joint force
special operations component commander will normally be the commander with the
preponderance of special operations forces and the requisite command and control capabilities. Also called JFSOCC. (JP 1-02)
(Note: The revised JP 3-0 will modify this
term and definition.)
joint operations area
An area of land, sea, and airspace, defined by
a geographic combatant commander or
subordinate unified commander, in which a
joint force commander (normally a joint task
force commander) conducts military
operations to accomplish a specific mission.
Joint operations areas are particularly useful when operations are limited in scope and geographic area or when operations are to be
conducted on the boundaries between theaters. Also called JOA. (JP 1-02)
joint targeting
A group formed by the joint force commander
coordination board
to accomplish broad targeting oversight
functions that may include but are not limited to coordinating targeting information, providing targeting guidance and priorities, and preparing and/or refining joint target lists.
The board is normally comprised of
representatives from the joint force staff, all
components and, if required, component
subordinate units. Also called JTCB. (JP 1-02)
joint task force
A joint force that is constituted and so designated by the Secretary of Defense, a
combatant commander, a subunified commander, or an existing joint task force
commander. Also called JTF. (JP 1--02)
Marine air-ground
The Marine Corps principal organization for
task force
all missions across the range of military operations, composed of forces task-organized
under a single commander capable of
responding rapidly to a contingency anywhere
in the world. The types of forces in the
MAGTF are functionally grouped into four
core elements: a command element, an aviation combat element, a ground combat
element, and a combat service support element. The four core elements are categories

_____________________________________________ JFLCC Handbook of forces, not formal commands. The basic structure of the Marine air-ground task force never varies, though the number, size, and type of Marine Corps units comprising each of its four elements will always be mission dependent. The flexibility of the organizational structure allows for one or more subordinate MAFTFs, other Se'rvice, and/or foreign military forces to be assigned or attached. Also called MAGTF.

Marine The largest Marine air-ground task force and expeditionary force the Marine Corps principal warfighting organization, particularly for larger crises or contingencies. It is task-organized around a permanent command element and normally contains one or more Marine divisions, Marine aircraft wings, and Marine force service support groups. The Marine expeditionary force is capable of missions across the range of military operations, including amphibious assault and sustained operations ashore in any environment. It can operate from a sea base, a land base, or fboth. It may also contain other Service or foreign military forces assigned or attached to the MAGTF. Also called MEF.

(JP 1-02)

operational control
Transferable command authority that may be
exercised by commanders at any echelon at or
below the level of combatant command.
Operational control is inherent in combatant
command (command authority). Operational control may be delegated and is the authority to perform those functions of command over
subordinate forces involving organizing and
employing commands and forces, assigning
tasks, designating objectives, and giving
authoritative direction necessary to accomplish
the mission. Operational control includes
authoritative direction over all aspects of
military operations and joint training necessary to accomplish missions assigned to the command. Operational control should be
exercised through the commanders of
subordinate organizations. Normally this authority is exercised through subordinate
joint force commanders and Service and/or
functional component commanders. Operational control normally provides full
authority to organize commands and forces
and to employ those forces as the commander
in operational control considers necessary to
accomplish assigned missions. Operational
control does not, in and of itself, include
authoritative direction for logistics or matters
of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training. Also called
OPCON. (JP 1-02)
Service component
A command consisting of the Service
command
component commander and all those Service forces, such as individuals, units, detachments, organizations, and installations under the command, including the support forces that have been assigned to a combatant command,
or further assigned to a subordinate u:nified
command or joint task force. (JP 1-02)
support
1. The action of a force which aids, protects,
complements, or sustains another force in accordance with a directive requiring such action. 2. A unit which helps another unit in
battle. Aviation, artillery, or naval guRfire may
be used as a support for infantry. 3. A part of
any unit held back at the beginning of an attack as a reserve. 4. An element of a
command which assists, p:rotects, or supplies
other forces in combat. (JI' 1-02)

supported commander
The commander having primary responsibility for all aspects of a task assigned by the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan or other joint operation planning authority. In the context of joint operation planning, this term refers to the
commander who prepares operation plans or operation orders in response to requirements of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
(JP 1-02)
supporting commander A commander who provides augmentation
forces or other support to a supported
commander or who develops a supporting
plan. Includes the designated combatant commands and Defense agencies as appropriate. (JP 1-02)
tactical control
Command authority over assigned or attached
forces or commands, or military capability or forces made available for tasking, that is limited to the detailed and, usually, local
direction and control of movements or
maneuvers necessary to accomplish missions
or tasks assigned. Tactical control is inherent in operational control. Tactical control may be delegated to and exercised at any level at or
below the level of combatant command. Also
called TA CON. (JP 1-02)
