2. The Genesis DPG: To strengthen joint operations, the Geographic CombatantCommanders will establish SJFHQs by FY 2005reflecting standards established by Joint Forces Command. Each SJFHQ will have astandardized joint C4ISR architecture. CJCS: Implementation Guidance 05 Mar 03 - SJFHQ must strike a balance between standards/commonality and RCC uniqueness …. The SJFHQ will be composed of a full-time, coherent team that is mission-tailored and led by a senior officer who reports directly to the combatant commander. Sec Def: Memo 16 Dec 2003 -Integration of the SJFHQ into U.S. Regional combatant command structure is an important step in increasing the ability to respond to … the global security environment. Directed to reprogram 58 of the remaining 15 % HQ’s reduction to establish a SJFHQ, reflecting standards established by USJFCOM.

3. Forming a JTF HQ Today • The Bridge: SJFHQ • Full-time coherently joint team • Situational understanding of the focus • area using Operational Net Assessment • Links to external Organizations • Effects Based focus and capability • Continuity – pre-crisis thru termination • Operational planning begins during crisis • Extensive time to build situational awareness • Search for Joint experience • Extensive augmentation required to • become a JTF (ad hoc issues) • Physical CollaborativeNetworks (VTC) Forming a JTF HQ Tomorrow • Operational planning begins pre-crisis • Draws from an in place SA & SU • Standing Team with joint experience • Uses reach-back and collaboration • to minimize footprint forward • Organized for Virtual and physical collaboration • Can utilize a cross-functional organization • to maximize knowledge and information • technology

7. SJFHQ Pacific Mission Provide CDRUSPACOM a deployable, trained and equipped Standing Joint Task Force Headquarters (SJFHQ) element, trained in Effects-Based Operations (EBO), capable of supporting Joint/Coalition Task Force (J/CTF) activation, and/or augmentation of J/CTF Command and Control (C2) . SJFHQ is specifically organized to enhance CDRUSPACOM's ability to deter or quickly respond to regional crises. Should deterrence fail, SJFHQ provides an effective means to rapidly augment a J/CTF with a capability to conduct EBO-based planning, execution, and assessment. “Starter Kit” Core element of trained/ready joint planners to activate/augment a JTF

8. Commander’s Intent • Direct Reporting Unit (DRU) under USPACOM • Report directly to Deputy Commander USPACOM • Center of Excellence for • Joint/combined, deliberate and contingency planning • Effects-based planning, operations, assessment • Core element to activate/augment most USPACOM J/CTFs • Core Planning Staff for CDRUSPACOM focus area. • Develop capability to support USPACOM contingencies in priority: • War On Terror • Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief • Non-combatant Evacuation Operations • Develop multi- component capability • Conduct JTF Training • Achieve Full Operational Capability 31 Mar 06 USPACOM DRU, Future = support other USPACOM CONOPs

SJFHQ Structure • Green Group supports USPACOM focus area • Blue Group supports other CONOPs (III MEF, 7th FLT, I Corps): “Starter kit” concept • Pair special skill sets from Info Superiority, Knowledge Mgmt with Green, Blue Groups • Add SMEs, US Multi-National Planning and Assistance Team (USMPAT) reps as req’d • JTF RC Augmentee Element = 25 - 40 x RC team members on JRU for 2-3 year tour • Build symbiotic relationship (training, support) with USPACOM J3, J5, USMPAT: • Green Group with USPACOM J54 for support to JPG deliberate, planning • Blue Group with USPACOM J35 for support to contingency operations OPTs, FOPs • ‘Starter kit’ for CONOPs JTFs • Support USPACOM OPTs, assessments • Teach joint, EBO doctrine

12. Summary • Maintain Day-to-Day USPACOM AOR situation awareness • Support deliberate and crisis response effects-based planning: Pre-crisis through Transition and redeployment • Conduct internal/USPACOM staff training • Support USPACOM training and exercises, support JTF Training • “Starter Kit” - Enable a J/CTF to be up and running - FAST • Enable a single service HQ staff to quickly become “Joint” • Improve speed, quality of initial JTF planning • EBO is gaining momentum - not standard operating procedure yet – lots to learn • Work toward SJFHQ-P certification during YAMA SAKURA 49 Responsive, Tailorable, Deployable Plans/Ops Expertise Jump-Start JTF for any Contingency
