Principles of Joint C2 The JFC should be guided in this effort by the following principles: • Simplicity. • Span of Control. • Unit Integrity. • Interoperability. JP-1, IV-19 “Organization for Joint Command and Control”
Tenets of Joint C2 • Clearly Defined Authority, Roles and Relationships • Information Management • Communications • Timely Decision Making • Coordination Mechanisms
Tenets of Joint C2 • Battle Rhythm Discipline • Responsive, Dependable, and Interoperable Support Systems • Situational Awareness • Mutual Trust
Command Authorities Authority to organize and employ as necessary Must maintain unit integrity JP 3-0 (Fig III-1)
Support Supporting and Supported relationships JP 1 (Fig IV-3)
Other Authorities • Administrative Control (ADCON) • Coordinating Authority • Direct Liaison Authority (DIRLAUTH)
Operational Areas within AOR Combatant Commander’s AOR Theater of War Theater of Operations JSOA JOA Joint Operations Area Joint Special Operations Area JP 3-0 (Fig IV-4)
Contiguous or Noncontiguous JP 3-0 (Fig IV-5)
Questions for further discussion • What are techniques and procedures that could be used to mitigate potential C2 conflicts between combatant commands? • What procedures could be implemented to effectively share assets across the combatant commands to minimize risks to operations already in progress, while meeting requirements for the new contingency? • A dual-hatted command structure was used by EUCOM and AFRICOM to share forces. What are the potential C2 problems that could arise from this type of arrangement and how could they be mitigated? • Coalition information sharing remains a key challenge for effective coalition operations. What are the procedures and processes that could be used to ensure efficient and effective communications between the US and its partners?
