### **Joint Tactical Operations Center, U.S.**

JTOCUS for short, was established in 2012 under the USJSF Act, which reforms the United States Department of Defense to support a shared, interagency/interbranch command. At the strategic level, USJSF acts as the military counterpart to the Federal Crisis Response Agency, or FCRA (part of the United States Dept. of Homeland Security).
As such, the USJSF is the military analog of FCRA, and provides a unified command infrastructure for all branches.

The Joint Tactical Operations Center; it provides C²ISTAR (Command & Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, Reconnaissance) to any personnel assigned under it. The primary command post is the Joint Tactical Operations Center, U.S., a shared command initiative under the United States Joint Strategic Forces programme (USJSF). Supported by military and intelligence infrastructure, JTOCUS is a centrally operated deployment center
for a number of conventional and unconventional warfare units, where interoperability & information sharing is key.

### **United States Joint Strategic Forces (USJSF)**

The United States Joint Strategic Forces (USJSF) Act was passed in 2010, in response to growing concerns that

the Department of Defense lacked sufficient interoperability within its own armed forces. Analogous to the recent
formation of the Federal Crisis Response Agency (FCRA/DHS), the USJSF Act restructures formerly DOD Unified
Combatant Commands into a singular collaborative command, called USJSFCOM at the Strategic Level, JTOCUS
operates within the USJSF at the tactical level; and provides tactical level operations support to military command.
