Doctrine provides a military organization with unity of effort and a common philosophy, language, and purpose. This manual discusses the organization and operations of the theater army headquarters, including its role as the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) to the Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC) and the relationships between the theater army headquarters and the theater enabling commands. The manual also discusses theater army Title 10 functions and responsibilities, generally referred to as the Combatant Commander’s Daily Operations Requirements (CCDOR), as well as the operational employment of the theater army’s contingency command post (CCP) to directly command and control limited types of operations.
110
PURPOSE
111 112
FM 3-93 serves as a guide for organizing the theater army headquarters and its command posts, training the staff, and conducting operations as directed by the Combatant Commander.
113
SCOPE
114
FM 3-93 has sixteen chapters and two appendices.
115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124
Chapter 1 discusses the theater army’s role as the ASCC and the joint context in which it operates. It discusses theater army’s responsibilities to support the Combatant Commander’s theater campaign plan across the GCC’s Area of Responsibility (AOR), hereinafter referred to as the theater army’s AOR-wide support responsibilities. It also discusses theater army’s role in theater opening, including reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (RSOI) of Army and joint forces provided to the Joint Force Commander (JFC) in joint operations areas (JOA) opened within the AOR, and the theater army’s dominant role in sustaining Army and joint forces, as directed, across the AOR . Chapter 1 also discusses the sustainment concept of support and the modification of responsibilities of the Army Forces commander (ARFOR) within the JOA. Finally, Chapter 1 discusses the theater enabling commands (intelligence, sustainment, medical, signal, and aviation) and their command or support relationships with theater army and the ARFOR operating in JOAs within the AOR.
125 126 127
Chapter 2 discusses how the theater army employs its contingency command post (CCP) to support joint/combined training exercises and other theater security cooperation activities and to directly command and control limited types of military operations within the AOR.
128
Chapter 3 discusses the organization and functions of the theater army’s Main Command Post (MCP).
129
Chapter 4 discusses the organization and functions of the theater army’s Contingency Command Post (CCP).
130 131
Chapter 5 discusses the organization and functions of the Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion which provides administrative and sustainment support to the theater army headquarters staff.
132 133 134
Chapters 6 through 14 discuss the organization and functions of the theater army Command Group, Personal and Special Staff, and the Warfighting Functional cells (Intelligence, Movement & Maneuver, Fires, Protection, Sustainment, and Mission Command (emerging doctrinal change from Command & Control).
135 136
Chapter 15 discusses the organization and functions of the theater army CCP, and its capabilities, limitations, and dependencies.
137 138
Chapter 16 discusses the organization and functions of the theater army Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion (HHB), including HHB sustainment support for the CCP when it deploys.
139 140 141 142 143
Appendix A explains the doctrinal command and support relationships, lists the Army Title 10 responsibilities, and Table A-1 details the current list (as of July 2010) of Army External Support to Other Services and Executive Agent Responsibilities. Although these responsibilities may be changed or amended over time, assignment of Service responsibility is based on the Service’s capabilities. Thus, changes in lead Service responsibilities are infrequent.
144
Appendix B contains a sample Army Service Component Directive.
145
APPLICABILITY
146 147 148
This publication is most applicable to theater army commanders and staff. It also provides relevant information regarding theater army organization and operations for commanders and staffs at subordinate theater level commands and brigades, GCC, and other Service headquarters.

ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
150 151 152 153
Terms that have joint or Army definitions are identified in both the glossary and the text. Terms for which FM 3-93 is the proponent manual (the authority) are indicated with an asterisk in the glossary and printed in boldface in the text. For other definitions in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent manual follows the definition.
154 155 156 157 158
The glossary contains references of acronyms and definitions of terms not defined in JP 1-02 and FM 1-02. It does not list acronyms and abbreviations that are included for clarity only and appear one time, nor those that appear only in a figure and are listed in the legend for that figure. Some common abbreviations and acronyms— for example, DOD and abbreviations for military publications—are not spelled out (refer to the glossary). Since ARFOR is a defined term as well as an acronym, it is not spelled out.

Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
FM 3-93, Theater Army Operations, is based on a revised operational concept developed through the analysis, discussions, and decisions made by senior Army leaders over the course of nearly eight years of Army transformation. Senior Army leaders finalized these decisions under the auspices of Army Campaign Plan (ACP) Decision Points 129 (Global Command & Control Laydown), and 123 (Division, Corps, and Theater Army Design Refinement) between December 2008 and July 2009. The new Army strategy for global command and control of Army forces relies on the Modular Corps headquarters to command and control major operations instead of theater armies. Under the revised operational concept, theater armies no longer require large Operational Command Posts (OCP) to serve as the base organization for the formation of Joint Task Force (JTF) or Joint Force Land Component Command (JFLCC)/Army Force (ARFOR) headquarters to command and control major operations.
11 12 13 14 15 16
Every Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC) has requirements for an immediately available, deployable command and control capability for smaller-scale contingency operations, including limited intervention, peace and peacetime military engagement operations. The Chief of Staff of the Army’s (CSA) revised concept provides every theater army with a standard Contingency Command Post (CCP). Chapter 3 contains a detailed discussion of the CCP’s roles, missions, capabilities/limitations and dependencies.
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
Key Decisions: The following key decisions capture the critical elements of the DP 129 decision, which have a direct effect on the revised theater army operational concept and organizational design: An additional (fourth) active component Corps headquarters will be stood up and manned, providing a sufficient number of corps headquarters to meet current operational demands and provide an additional Corps headquarters, available and deployable world-wide, as a hedge against the possible outbreak of major combat operations anywhere in the world. The creation of this additional C2 capability allows the theater army to be relieved of its previous responsibility to transition to a JTF or JFLCC/ARFOR headquarters and provide direct operational command and control over Army and/or joint forces engaged in full spectrum operations. Under the revised operational concept, the Theater Army Main Command Post (MCP) has no direct C2 responsibilities for Army forces in an active JOA, however it does provide some reachback support such as intelligence analysis and long range planning. Theater army enabling commands and functional brigades continue to support operations across the GCC’s AOR. For example, the regionally focused MI brigade will continue to collect against threats within the AOR and provide fused intelligence products to the theater army and other U.S. forces operating within the AOR, as required. Likewise, the Theater Sustainment Command (TSC) remains responsible for providing sustainment (less medical) for all Army forces forward-stationed, transiting, or operating within the AOR, including those Army forces assigned/OPCON to JTFs operating in JOAs established within the AOR. In addition, the TSC remains responsible for providing Army support to other services (ASOS) and USG agencies, including Common User Logistics (CUL) and other specific requirements established under specific OPLANS/CONPLANS and Army Executive Agent (AEA) agreements. These responsibilities are discussed in more detail the subsequent sections pertaining to the theater enabling commands and functional brigades. Theater army retains responsibility for AOR-wide contingency planning and coordination, including developing and maintaining OPLANS/CONPLANS, and updated regionally focused intelligence estimates, and service support plans to the GCC’s Theater Campaign Plan. The theater army will conduct collaborative planning with corps, divisions or other designated Army headquarters assigned to execute specified OPLANS/CONPLANS or to conduct major exercises within the AOR, or those headquarters aligned with the GCC for planning purposes. In particular, the theater army will contribute its considerable regional expertise (including cultural factors and regionally focused intelligence estimates) to the collaborative planning process with corps or division headquarters preparing to conduct operations within the AOR.
51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66
The Army will provide warfighting headquarters from the rotational force pool to meet operational command and control requirements for major operations or major exercises that exceed the limited capabilities of the theater army’s CCP. Theater armies will have access to all critical theater enabling/functional capabilities, including intelligence, signal, sustainment, medical, aviation, air & missile defense, military police (MP) and engineer. The command and support relationships for these capabilities can differ depending on the AO requirements.
Theater opening, Reception, Staging, Onward Movement and Integration (RSO&I): The sustainment concept of support outlines the responsibilities for planning and executing theater opening, RSOI, common user logistics (CUL) and other sustainment-related support to the JOA. . The theater army executes these responsibilities through the Theater Sustainment Command (TSC) and its forward-deployed command post, the Expeditionary Sustainment Command (ESC). The deployed ESC provides direct command and control over the Army units actually providing the sustainment services within the JOA. FM 4-0, provides a more detailed explanation of sustainment-related command and support relationships and the division of responsibilities between the theater army, its subordinate theater sustainment command (TSC), and other Army headquarters operating in JOAs within the GCC’s AOR

SERVICE (MILITARY DEPARTMENT) RESPONSIBILITIES
71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79
1-1. The administrative branch of the chain of command runs from the President and Secretary of Defense to the secretaries of the military departments (DODD 5100.1 explains the functions of the Department of Defense and HQDA). Under Title 10, USC, the Secretary of the Army exercises authority, direction, and control through the CSA, for forces not assigned to combatant commands. The Secretary of the Army— Administers and supports all Army forces, to include those assigned or attached to combatant commands. Organizes, trains, equips, and provides forces as directed by the President and Secretary of Defense.
80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87
1-2. The Secretary of the Army (SA) exercises administrative control (ADCON) through theater army commanders assigned to the combatant commands, unless otherwise specified by the Secretary of Defense. ADCON normally extends from the SA through the ASCC, to Army units assigned to the ASCC, and/or through an ARFOR, and then to Army units assigned or attached to an Army headquarters within that joint command. Administrative control is not tied to the operational chain of command. The SA may redirect some or all Service responsibilities outside the normal ASCC channels. In similar fashion, the ASCC may distribute some administrative responsibilities outside the ARFOR. Their primary considerations are the effectiveness of Army forces and the care of Soldiers.
88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98
1-3. Administrative control is the direction or exercise of authority over subordinate or other organizations necessary to fulfill military department’s Title 10, USC; and executive agent responsibilities for administration, support, and force protection (FM 3-0). ARFOR commanders subordinate to the Joint Forces Commander (JFC) within specified JOAs receive Army forces and exercise Operational Control (OPCON). The theater army commander answers to the Secretary of the Army for the administration, support, and force protection of all Army forces assigned or attached to the combatant command, or transiting through the AOR. Administrative control includes the organization of Service forces, control of resources and equipment, personnel management, unit logistics, individual and unit training, readiness, mobilization, demobilization, discipline, and other matters not included in the operational missions of the subordinate or other organizations. This is the authority necessary to fulfill Military Department statutory responsibilities for administration and support.
99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111
1-4. Combatant commanders may direct theater army commanders to provide common user logistics (CUL) and Army support to other Services (ASOS), agencies, or multinational forces. As described in FM 4-0: Title 10 of the United States Code (USC) specifies each individual service retains its responsibility for sustainment. However, shared sustainment responsibility or common user logistics (CUL) is more effective, especially for joint operations. CUL is material or service support shared with or provided by two or more Services, DoD agencies, or multinational partners to another Service, agency or multinational partner. CUL can be restricted by type of supply and/or service and to specific units, times, missions and/or geographic locations. Title 10 provides the CCDR authority to assign CUL responsibilities that overlap the military department’s Title 10 functions. Additionally, Directive Authority for Logistics (DAFL) is the additional authority used by the CCDR to eliminate the duplication or overlapping of sustainment responsibilities.

The Theater Army works in conjunction with the combatant command to identify sustainment requirements, responsibilities, and C2 for sustainment. The Theater Army commander’s principal focus is on operational-level theater support involving force generation and sustainment during campaigns and joint operations. He matches sustainment requirements for a campaign to the capabilities of the Army forces. In all joint operations, sustainment is a service responsibility unless directed by executive agent directives, CCDR lead service designations, or inter-service support agreements (ISSAs). The combatant commander may designate a service component as either the temporary CUL lead or long-term single integrated theater logistics manager (SITLM) if required (FM 4-0).
1-5. Army commanders in joint organizations use ADCON authority from the theater army commander to HQDA for Service-specific requirements. This authority forms a hierarchy for Army support to deployed forces without implying a superior-subordinate relationship. For example, theater army commanders may establish centers in the area of operations to train individual replacements; complete collective training, theater orientation and theater acclimation; and manage force modernization of Army forces prior to their employment by the JFC in the JOA.
ARMY OPERATIONAL HEADQUARTERS IN AN AOR 1-6. The Army contributes organizational elements and capabilities to JFCs. Those JFCs can conduct joint, interagency, and multinational operations across the spectrum of conflict. Army echelons can function at the operational level of war and contribute capabilities to joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational operations. These capabilities include— Theater army headquarters, with their Contingency Command Posts and their associated theaterenabling commands and functional brigades, provide command and control over Army and/or joint forces for smaller-scale contingency operations. Corps and Division headquarters task organized with subordinate brigade combat teams, supporting brigades, and other units provide command and control over Army and/or joint forces for major, sustained operations. Expeditionary Sustainment Commands (ESC) or other sustainment management headquarters provide direct OPCON over Army sustainment units (less medical) providing sustainment support to Army and joint forces in JOAs opened within the AOR. Medical Brigades (MEDBDE) provide direct OPCON over the Army medical units task organized under them (normally assigned or attached). MEDBDEs normally have a command relationship with the theater Medical Command (Deployment Support) [MEDCOM (DS)], and a support relationship with the operational force headquarters (division or corps as ARFOR) in the JOA. Under certain conditions, a MEDBDE may be attached or placed OPCON to an Army division or corps HQs (as ARFOR), but this limits the senior medical commander’s ability to rapidly task organize and reallocate resources across the AOR (See FM 4-02.12).
REDEFINING ARFOR RESPONSIBILITIES
149 150 151
1-7. FM 1-02 defines ARFOR as the senior Army headquarters and all Army forces assigned or attached to a combatant command, subordinate joint force command, joint functional command, or multinational command. FM 3-0 defines ARFOR as the Army component of joint forces.
152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160
1-8. An ARFOR is the Army component headquarters for a joint task force or a joint and multinational force. It consists of the senior Army headquarters and its commander (when not designated as the joint force commander) and all Army forces that the combatant commander subordinates to the joint task force or places under the control of a multinational force commander. The ARFOR within a JOA exercises direct OPCON over all Army maneuver and support forces (MP, Engineer, CBRNE, Aviation, Civil Affairs, etc.), except for Army forces providing sustainment support (including Medical). The ARFOR in a JOA identifies requirements and establishes priorities of support for Army forces within the JOA, and coordinates with the theater army for the provision of sustainment support. The Army service component command may itself function as an ARFOR headquarters unless the combatant commander exercises 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)
FM 3-93
1-2

161 162 163 164
command and control through subordinate joint force commanders. In this case, each subordinate joint force commander would potentially have a subordinate ARFOR, while the ASCC would exercise ADCON of all Army forces across the AOR, and provide ASOS, CUL, AEA and sustainment support to Army, joint, and multinational forces and interagency elements within all JOAs opened within the AOR.
165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176
1-9. The Sustainment Concept of Support for the modular force removed sustainment units (including medical) from the organic structure of Army divisions and corps by replacing organic Division and Corps Support Commands with non-organic sustainment and medical brigades. Sustainment and medical brigades normally have a support relationship rather than a command relationship with the operational ARFOR and its subordinate Army divisions and corps in a JOA. Sustainment brigades support the force in a general support (GS) or a direct support (DS) role. In most cases, all Army units providing sustainment support within a JOA (except for medical units and organic brigade support battalions/companies) will be assigned, attached, or placed OPCON to an Expeditionary Sustainment Command (ESC). The ESC will normally have a command relationship with the Theater Sustainment Command assigned to the theater army. See FM 4-94, and FM 4-0 for a more detailed explanation for sustainment support and command and support relationships between Army maneuver forces (ARFOR) and supporting Army sustainment units .
177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196
1-10. Army sustainment units (less medical) supporting the force (Army, joint and multinational forces) will normally be task organized under the operational control (OPCON) of an Expeditionary Sustainment Command (ESC) within the JOA (See Figure 1-1 Theater Army Command and Support Relationships [Sustainment]). Multifunctional medical battalions will normally support divisions and corps in a DS role, maintaining a command relationship to the medical brigade and theater level MEDCOM (See Figure 1-2 Theater Army Command and Support Relationships (Medical). This relieves Division or Corps headquarters (as operational ARFOR within the JOA) of the tasks associated with the actual provision of administration and sustainment support for Army forces; and ASOS, CUL support, and the execution of Army Executive Agent (AEA) responsibilities in support of Army, joint, and multinational forces. In effect, the modular force sustainment concept splits the traditional ARFOR responsibilities between the senior Army headquarters in the JOA or assigned to the JFC (Division or Corps) and Theater Army. The senior Army headquarters in the JOA has command authority over all Army maneuver and support forces, except for those units task organized under the supporting Expeditionary Sustainment Command (ESC) and medical brigade.. Theater Army is responsible for providing sustainment support for all Army forces stationed in, transiting, or operating within the AOR. Theater Army is also responsible for providing most ASOS, CUL, and AEA support to joint and multinational forces, and interagency elements within the AOR. Theater Army executes these sustainment responsibilities through its assigned Theater Sustainment Command (TSC) and ESC and/or Sustainment Brigades tailored and provided from the Army force pool. Theater army executes its responsibilities to provide health services to support the force through its assigned MEDCOM (DS) and forward deployed medical brigades.

1-11. Army support to other services (ASOS) and Army Executive Agent responsibilities include some tasks and functions, which are not sustainment related. The operational ARFOR in a JOA can assume responsibility for some of these tasks and functions, by exception and at the direction of the GCC. In such cases, the ARFOR or one of its subordinate commands assumes operational control (OPCON) of the units responsible for executing the selected task or function.

214
THEATER ARMY AS ARMY SERVICE COMPONENT TO A GCC
215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222
1-14. Each combatant command has an Army Service Component Command (ASCC) assigned to it. Theater army headquarters serve as the ASCC for each Geographic Combatant Commands (GCC). The theater army headquarters includes the commander, staff, and all Army forces (organizations, units, personnel, and installations) assigned to the combatant command. The organization of the headquarters is based on a table of organization and equipment (TOE), tailored to the specific requirements of each AOR through a modified table of organization and equipment (MTOE), and may be further augmented by a table of distribution and allowance to account for temporary or variable operational requirements within each AOR.
223 224 225 226 227 228
1-15. A theater army assigned to a GCC provides a regionally oriented, long-term Army presence for, peacetime military engagement, security cooperation, deterrence and limited intervention operations, and provides support to Army and joint forces operating in Joint Operations Areas (JOA) opened within the GCC’s AOR. Army operational-level organizations assigned to the theater army provide theater-level capabilities necessary to perform operational-level tasks as well as to assist and augment subordinate tactical organizations.
229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237
1-16. The theater army is not designed to operate as the JTF, JFLCC, or ARFOR for major operations within a single JOA. The Army corps headquarters is designed to command and control land forces in major operations in a single JOA and/or rapidly transition to a JTF headquarters for major operations. The Army corps is the Army’s headquarters of choice for these roles and missions. However, when land operations are conducted concurrently in multiple JOAs within a single AOR, the GCC may designate the theater army as a theater level JFLCC with specific command & control, force protection, and sustainment responsibilities. The primary responsibilities of a theater level JFLCC may be to provide coordination with other theater-level functional components; to provide general support for multiple JOAs within the AOR; to conduct theater-level contingency planning, or to conduct JRSOI for the entire land force.
238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254
1-17. In addition to sustainment support AOR wide, the theater army also coordinates force protection for all forces, installations, and operating bases across the AOR. In high-threat environments, the JFC may designate a Joint Security Coordinator (JSC) to provide a dedicated focus on Joint Security Operations within the Joint Security Area(s). Under these circumstances, the JFC normally designates a component commander with the appropriate capabilities and force structure to perform this function. Often, the theater army may be designated as the joint security coordinator and be responsible for the joint security area. (See JP 3-10 for more information.) When so tasked, the theater army typically resources the force protection requirements to support not only Army forces in theater, but also joint and multinational forces and any designated theater army support area/JSA. The theater army protection cell (with augmented joint, interagency, and multinational forces) provides the nucleus of the joint security coordination center. The theater army may designate a Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB) to serve as its operational protection headquarters, receiving mission orders to supervise selected forces (including tactical combat forces [TCFs]). The theater army, when required, also provides an Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) or Brigade for command and control of ground based air and missile defense forces in support of Army, joint, and multinational forces. While these Army units may be placed under the OPCON of the Area Air Defense Coordinator (AADC), they remain under the Service ADCON of the theater Army.
255 256 257 258 259
1-18. The theater army design provides a robust Main Command Post (MCP) to perform its ASCC Title 10 functions but its contingency command post (CCP) provides only a limited capability to directly command and control operations, a capability which is insufficient to enable the theater army to perform as a JTF or JFLC for major operations. The Army Corps headquarters is the organization best suited for commanding and controlling land forces or transitioning to JTF or JFLC headquarters, for major 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

operations. The theater army design allows it to perform the functions of the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) to the GCC, and execute its Title 10, ADCON, Common User Logistics (CUL), and Army Executive Agent responsibilities. These responsibilities extend to the support of any JOAs opened within the AOR, including theater opening, and Army Support to Other Services/agencies (ASOS).
264 265 266
1-19. The theater army, with its deployable CCP, has a limited capability to provide direct command and control over operations – limited in terms of scale, scope, intensity and duration. Chapter X explains in further detail the organization, capabilities, limitations, and dependencies of the CCP.
267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276
1-20. Although the theater structure for each GCC is unique, the functional requirements of a theater organization remain somewhat constant. The CSA, working with the each supported GCCs, configures theater armies to meet the specific requirements of their respective AORs. The theater army commander provides the GCC with operationally relevant Army capabilities. The level of capability and support required varies from one AOR to another. The theater army commander identifies the specific Army capabilities required to support the combatant commander, and works with HQDA, FORSCOM, AMC, TRADOC, and other ASCCs in tailoring assigned Army units to provide specific capabilities to the combatant command and deploys those capabilities into the area of responsibility as required. As the situation changes, the Secretary of Defense modifies those resourcing decisions as necessary based on the combatant commander’s request for forces or previously approved plans.

TEC FUNCTIONAL SUPPORT AND COMMAND & SUPPORT RELATIONSHIPS 1-23. Theater armies are assigned or provided access to five enabling capabilities (Sustainment, Signal, Medical, Military Intelligence and Civil Affairs), and an assortment of functional and multifunctional units, based on AOR specific requirements. The command and/or support relationships between theater army and these enabling commands are explained below.
Theater Sustainment Command (TSC)
300 301 302 303 304
1-24. Per FM 4-94, the TSC headquarters is normally assigned to the theater army and is considered theater committed. A supporting to supported relationship is established between the TSC (and, by extension, the ESC) and the operational ARFOR in the JOA. Sustainment brigades are tailored to the mission, task organized under the ESC (normally attached), and placed in either general support (GS) of the force on an area basis or in direct support (DS) of a specific command or group of forces.
305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316
1-25. Expeditionary Sustainment Commands (ESCs) are rotational units from the pool of Army forces, and are assigned, attached or placed OPCON to the TSC to provide command and control of Army sustainment units (less medical) supporting Army and joint forces within the AOR. Sustainment brigades, tailored with the appropriate mix of sustainment providing units, are normally attached to the ESC for operations. Doctrinally, the ESC functions as an extension of the TSC rather than a separate echelon of command. The ESC deploys to into an AO/JOA and provides forward-based command and control of TSC units providing sustainment (less medical) support to the force. The ESC normally deploys its command post to a location near the air and sea ports of debarkation (APODs/SPODs) from which it can effectively command and control sustainment support operations. This location may be a secured site within the JOA or a sanctuary location within the greater Joint Support Area (JSA). The ESC is responsible for theater opening, including the execution of port and terminal operations and Reception, Staging, Onward movement, and Integration (RSOI), and normally has a subordinate sustainment brigade specially tailored for these tasks.
317 318 319 320
1-26. The ESC receives liaison elements from the theater Medical Command (MEDCOM) and establishes a medical logistics management center (MLMC) to coordinate Class XVIII (medical logistics) support to medical units supporting the force. See Figure 1-1. Theater Army Command and Support Relationships (Sustainment).

Signal Command (Theater) [SC (T)] or Theater Signal Bde
322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330
1-27. Per FMI 6-02.45, the SC (T) provides communication and information systems support to an ASCC (theater army) headquarters, ASCC subordinate units, and as required, to joint and multinational organizations throughout the GCC’s AOR. The signal command and its subordinate units install, operate, and the defend the Army portion of the joint interdependent theater network, and leverage the extension and reachback capabilities of the Global Information Grid (GIG) to provide joint communication and information systems services to the ASCC commander and the supported GCC. The signal command exercises command and control over a wide variety of other signal organizations in a theater, including multiple tactical signal brigades (TTSBs), theater strategic signal brigades (TSSBs), theater NETOPS and security centers, the combat camera (COMCAM) company, and a tactical installation signal company.
331 332 333 334 335
1-28. The SC (T) is the highest-level deployable organization in charge of theater LandWarNet (LWN). It is a major subordinate command of NETCOM (assigned) and operates under the OPCON of the supported ASCC/theater army. The SC (T) is the signal force provider for the theater, and may have one or more subordinate theater tactical signal brigades (TTSBs) with multiple expeditionary signal battalions (ESBs) task organized under them.
336 337 338 339 340
1-29. The Expeditionary Signal Battalion (ESB) may be employed to support Army corps, divisions, brigade combat teams (BCT), or Service component, or multinational headquarters, as required. Although the ESB is typically assigned to a TTSB, it may be assigned or attached to other higher-level organizations. ESBs provide JNN, CPN and other communications and information systems capabilities to headquarters, which do not have organic JNN or CPN capabilities.
341
Medical Command (MEDCOM [DS])
342 343 344 345
1-30. Per FM 4-02.12, the theater level MEDCOM is assigned to the theater army and serves as the medical force provider within the theater. The MEDCOM (DS) and its subordinate medical brigades are linked to the TSC/ESC through the medical logistics management center (MLMC) which is established at the ESC/TSC to plan and coordinate medical logistics in support of operations.
346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353
1-31. The MEDCOM (DS) is organized with an operational command post (OCP) and a Main Command Post (MCP) which can deploy forward autonomously. The multifunctional medical battalions (MMBs) which provide Army health services (AHS) to the force are task organized under the command and control of a medical brigade (MEDBDE) subordinate to the MEDCOM (DS). The MMBs are normally placed in direct support of Army divisions or in general support on an area basis. Thus, all Army health service units maintain a command relationship with a medical chain of command from the MMB through the MEDBDE to the theater level MEDCOM (DS). See Figure 1-2 Theater Army Command and Support Relationships (Medical).
354
Military Intelligence Bde
355 356 357 358 359 360 361
1-32. The theater MIB is assigned to INSCOM, a HQDA direct reporting unit, and attached or placed OPCON to theater army. Although the MIB headquarters is considered theater committed and not deployable outside its AOR, its subordinate MI battalions may be included in the Army pool of rotational forces and may be deployed for operations outside its AOR. When the MIB’s subordinate battalions are deployed to support the operational ARFOR in a JOA, they are normally attached to an MIB, Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (BfSB) or other brigade-level organization under the ARFOR in order to link into the ARFOR’s supporting sustainment structure.
362 363 364 365 366 367
1-33. The theater MIB provides regionally focused collection and analysis in support of theater army daily operations requirements and contingency operations. In particular, the theater army headquarters relies heavily on the MIB for land order of battle, intelligence estimates, and fused intelligence products to support theater army planning requirements, including maintenance of OPLANS/CONPLANS, and development of Army supporting plans to the GCC’s theater campaign plan. The theater army Intelligence cell was deliberately designed with a dependency on the MIB for this collection and analytic support.
368 369
1-34. Theater army and its subordinate theater level MIB may provide intelligence support to Army and joint forces in the JOA either by deploying MIB collection or analysis assets forward and attaching or 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

370 371 372 373 374
placing those assets OPCON or DS to the operational ARFOR or by providing intelligence support on a GS or DS basis via reachback. In either case, the supported operational ARFOR HQs tasks the MIB assets by identifying Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR) and Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIR) and assigning the associated collection requirements to the supporting MIB or its operational elements.
375 376 377 378 379 380
1-35. The theater MIB’s regional focus enhances its capabilities to develop and exploit AOR-specific language skills and cultural insights and provides the benefits of continuity and cultural context to its analytic intelligence products. The theater MIB’s unique ability to collect, analyze and track the land order of battle and doctrine of both partner nations and adversaries over many years allows it to create and maintain a valuable data base of intelligence regarding regional military forces, key military and political leaders, and the evolving doctrine and capabilities of regional military forces.
381
Civil Affairs
382 383 384 385 386
1-36. Per FM 3-05.40, the Theater Special Operations Command (TSOC) is the joint special operations command through which the GCC normally exercises OPCON of special operations forces within the AOR The Civil Military Operations (CMO) staff cell of the TSOC provides deliberate and contingency planning, maintenance of existing plans, assessments, and support to the GCC’s Theater Security Cooperation Plan (TSCP).
387 388 389 390 391 392
1-37. The Civil Affairs Command (CACOM) provides theater level staff plugs to the GCC and its subordinate subunified and Service component commands, as required to support military operations. Civil Affairs Planning Teams (CAPTs) from the theater aligned CACOM, CA Bde or CA battalion augment the GCC, ASCC, and Joint Force Land Component staffs, providing liaison and coordination, education and training, and area assessment functions. CA augmentation elements are normally attached to the headquarters they are dispatched to support.
393 394 395 396 397 398 399
Aviation Bde 1-38. The theater aviation brigade (if assigned) is the force provider for Army aviation capabilities to support the combatant commander’s daily operations requirements (CCDOR) across the AOR and may provide Army aviation units to the ARFOR operating in a JOA within the AOR. The theater aviation brigade/battalion (when available) may either have a command or support relationship with the theater army.
Army Air & Missile Defense Command (AAMDC)
400 401 402 403
1-39. There are only three AAMDCs in the Army structure, two AC and one USAR. The AAMDCs (when available) are assigned to the theater army for CCDOR, and placed OPCON to the JFLC/ARFOR and in direct support (DS) of the JFACC for military operations. Other Army ADA units in the AOR are normally assigned, attached or OPCON to the AAMDC.
404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412
1-40. The Joint Force Commander (JFC) establishes air and missile defense (AMD) priorities, allocates forces, and apportions air power. The JFC typically assigns overall responsibility for counterair, and airspace control to the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC), and responsibility for defensive counterair (DCA) operations to the Area Air Defense Commander (AADC). The AADC is responsible for coordinating with joint and multinational partners to develop procedures for a combined theater air and missile defense (TAMD) plan and is typically the component with the preponderance of ADA capabilities in theater. The Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) supports the AADC for AMD operations and is normally under the operational control of the joint force land component command (JFLCC) and in direct support to the joint force air component command (JFACC).
413 414 415 416 417
1-41. The Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) commander serves in several roles. He commands the AAMDC and its subordinate units, functions as the theater army air and missile defense coordinator (TAAMDCOORD) for the ARFOR or JFLCC and acts as the deputy AADC if designated. The AAMDC typically locates with the ARFOR or JFLCC headquarters or the joint/combined air operations center (JAOC/CAOC) to facilitate AMD planning and integration. 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

1-42. The AAMDC has overall responsibility for planning Army AMD operations in support of the JFC. The AAMDC task organizes and assigns missions to the subordinate ADA brigade(s) once planning is complete. The AAMDC has dedicated liaison teams that can deploy to major theater and ARFOR elements (JFACC, JFLCC, JSOTF, BCD...) to facilitate and integrate ARFOR AMD planning and operations. In some cases, the AAMDC conducts split based operations which precludes them from being in theater. If the AAMDC is not located in theater the responsibility for planning falls to the highest echelon ADA organization in the theater as well as providing liaisons to the JFLCC, BCD, and AADC etc. FMs 3-01, 301.7, and FM 3-01.94 provide a more in depth explanation of the command and support relationships for theater AMD.
Other Army Functional or Multifunctional Units 1-43. Other Army functional or multifunctional units may be made available to the theater army based on specific requirements of the AOR such as forward stationing, base operations, enduring security force assistance or theater security cooperation activities, or ongoing military operations. These Army functional or multifunctional units may have either a command or a support relationship with theater army. In some cases, certain functional or multifunctional units may support more than one theater army or AOR.
Field Army
434 435 436 437 438 439
1-44. The field army is designed to perform the operational ARFOR tasks, and is the Army component to the JFC to which it is assigned. A field army, specifically tailored to the mission requirements, may be assigned to a JFC with an enduring operational requirement. Typically, a subunified command is established instead of a JTF when the military operation is anticipated to be enduring or protracted. In such case, a field army would be appropriate as the Army component or ARFOR to the subunified command
440 441 442 443 444
1-45. The theater army exercises ADCON over the field army and its subordinate Army forces, and provides the field army and its JFC all Army service functions including Title 10, CUL, ASOS and AEA responsibilities, and sustainment and medical support for Army and joint forces operating in the JOA or theater of operations in which the field army is assigned. At the direction of the GCC, theater army may delegate execution authority to the field army for specified Army service functions.
445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452
1-46. The situation on the Korean Peninsula is an example of an enduring military operation in which a subunified command (U.S. Forces – Korea or USFK) was established as the JFC instead of a JTF. Until the situation in the Republic of Korea is further resolved, the US Army will retain a unique structure on the Korean Peninsula. Eighth U.S. Army (EUSA) will serve as the forward deployed Field Army HQs and ARFOR to USFK or its successor joint/combined forces HQs. Renamed Eighth Field Army, it will be configured and staffed to provide an operational command and control capability for Army forces engaged in enduring operations. Eighth Field Army will be under the ADCON of U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) for most Army service functions.

THEATER ARMY COMMANDER 1-47. The theater army commander is the senior Army officer—not assigned to the combatant command or other joint headquarters within the AOR. Per JP 1/JP 3-0 and FM 3-0, a theater army commander supporting a geographic combatant command must— As a supporting component, provide Army support to a supported Service or functional component of the combatant command. As a supported component, receive and integrate support from other components of the combatant command. Recommend the appropriate use of Army forces to the combatant commander or other JFC. Accomplish assigned operational missions as an ARFOR. Perform joint training, to include training required by other Service components for which the theater army commander has primary responsibility.

Inform the combatant commander of planning for changes in Army sustainment support that would significantly affect operational capability or sustainability. Provide support to the joint operation and exercise plans with necessary force data to support missions that the combatant commander assigns. Develop Army program and budget requests that comply with the combatant commander’s guidance on war fighting requirements and priorities. Inform the combatant commander of program and budget decisions that affects joint operational planning. Perform Army-specific functions such as internal administration and discipline, Service training, normal sustainment functions, Army intelligence matters, and specific oversight of intelligence activities to ensure compliance with U.S. laws, policies, and directives. Inform the combatant commander of joint nonstrategic nuclear support required by the Army. Ensure signal and information management interoperability with the higher joint headquarters. Provide sustainment support to Army forces assigned to JTFs operating in the combatant command’s AOR.

1-50. The modular theater army headquarters is organized with a Command Group, Personal and Special Staffs, a Chief of Staff/SGS, and the following Warfighting Functional cells : Intelligence Movement & Maneuver Fires Protection Sustainment Mission Command **
Four broad design concepts underlie the organization of the modular theater army headquarters: Each theater army headquarters is a regionally focused, globally networked organization. It is theater-committed, and is not part of the Army’s pool of rotational forces.. The theater army headquarters is designed to exercise administrative control over all Army forces assigned to the supported combatant command, provide theater opening capabilities to support all JOAs opened within the AOR, provide Army support to joint, interagency, and multinational elements (ASOS), and perform additional Army support functions established in specific OPLANS/CONPLANS and Army Executive Agent (AEA) agreements. Theater army headquarters is organized with three organic components with specific functions: A Main Command Post (MCP) which performs all of the ASCC functions (Title 10, ADCON, ASOS, CUL, and support to JOA) supporting the combatant commander’s daily operations requirements (CCDOR). The Contingency Command Post (CCP) provides a limited capability to directly command and control forces for small-scale contingency operations within the AOR. A Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion (HHB), which provides administrative and logistics support for the theater army headquarters and all of its organic command post elements. Although normally co-located for stationing, the theater army MCP and CCP ordinarily remain configured as separate command posts in order to maintain the rapid deployment capability of the CCP.

1-51. As an administrative headquarters, the theater army’s normal battle rhythm and work schedule conform to the prevailing business work hours of the local community, and are coordinated with the Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC) headquarters. Most of the theater army staff works a standard eight-hour day during steady state operations. The Current Operations Cell is an exception to that norm. It monitors the activities of Army forces within the AOR 24hours per day, seven days a week. The Chief of Staff, in accordance with the Commander’s guidance, may extend or otherwise modify the work schedule of the headquarters in order to support operational requirements within the AOR, including theater army support of Joint or Army forces operating in one or more JOAs within the AOR.
522 523 524 525 526 527 528 529 530 531
1-52. In general, all theater army staff elements employ the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) as the standard process for planning, and the Operations Process (plan, prepare, execute & assess) for integrating and synchronizing all the warfighting fighting functions. Theater army staff elements may participate in campaign design and the Joint Operations Planning Process (JOPP) when collaborating directly with the combatant command or interacting with other service component commands. Some staff elements may rely upon other formal, defined processes in addition to the Operations Process. If this is the case, the additional process is required in the appropriate staff element narrative. Examples of this include defined processes within/subordinate to the Operations Process such as the D3A (Decide Detect, Deliver, Assess) process used by the Fires Warfighting Functional Cell in targeting,, and the G-8, which uses the Planning, Programming Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) process in resource management.

1-53. DEPENDENCIES: The theater army headquarters depends on theater enabling units for staff functions or supporting capabilities. While these enablers may vary considerably by size and type between GCCs, the basic dependencies are explained below. Theater army headquarters is dependent on: The theater signal command or brigade for connectivity to all LandWarNet services, including the establishment and operation of the theater network architecture to support theater army headquarters and all Army and joint forces operating within the AOR. The theater army headquarters has no organic signal capability and is dependent on the theater signal command or brigade for all network and signal capabilities, including Joint Network Node (JNN) or Command Post Node (CPN) elements to support the Contingency Command Post (CCP) when it deploys to command and control operations. The garrison command of the installation on which it is located for installation access control and local security of the permanent headquarters (garrison or installation security). Theater military intelligence brigade (MIB) for analytical support (military intelligence brigade or battalion) to provide regionally focused collection and analysis to support theater army planning (OPLAN/CONPLAN development) and operational intelligence to support the direct C2 of limited smaller scale contingency operations. In addition, the theater intelligence unit provides regionally focused intelligence collection and analysis in support of JTFs and JFLC/ARFOR headquarters and other Army forces operating in JOAs within the AOR. U.S. Army Materiel Command (USAMC) for support through the aligned Army Field Support Brigade (AFSB), Contracting Support Brigade (CSB), and Logistic Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP). These organizations and programs provide national sustainment, operational and theater contracting, and added sustainment support respectively. Additionally, elements of the U.S. Corps of Engineers support the theater army in some operations. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) personnel for logistical reach to the national supply system. A civil affairs planning team from a Civil Affairs Brigade or Command to provide staff augmentation of the Theater Army G-9 for operations. A force protection team to assist the theater army antiterrorism/force protection section in force protection, physical security, antiterrorism, and response force operations.

OPTIONS FOR FORMING A JOINT TASK FORCE STAFF

1-54. Chapter II of Joint Publication 3-33 Joint Task Force Headquarters describes a JTF and discusses the options for forming a JTF in detail. It explains the organization and command relationships. The JTF's assigned mission and the operational environment dictate its organization and relationship with other organizations. The composition of existing and potential adversaries, the nature of the crisis (e.g., floods, earthquakes....), and the time available to achieve the end state are factors when forming a JTF.
582 583 584 585 586 587 588 589 590 591
1-55. JP 3-33 points out that there are three options that may be used to form a JTF HQ: The preferred option is to form a JTF HQ around a combatant command’s Service component HQ or the Service component’s existing subordinate HQ (such as a numbered fleet, numbered Air Force, Marine Expeditionary Force, or Army Corps) that includes an established command structure. In some cases, the Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC) may designate the standing joint force headquarters (Core Element) (SJFHQ [CE]) as the core HQ element and augment it with additional Service functional experts. The combatant command assessment team or similar organization forms the core element for the JTF is the third option. This option is used typically where no military presence currently exist.
592 593 594 595 596
1-56. The Contingency Command Post (CCP) of Theater Army (TA) offers the GCC a fourth option for forming and deploying a JTF. The GCC could use the TA CCP as the core element of a JTF and augment it with additional personnel, either Army or Sister Service, to conduct the mission. Because of its established habitual internal staff working relationship, the CCP would be a viable option to support short notice/limited duration operations.

1-57. The CCP deploys as a rapid redeployment assessment capability, in most cases but can also become the core element of a JTF for small-scale contingency operations, or combined with other components as a staff plug for an ad hoc JTF headquarters. Each option for forming the JTF requires specific military skill sets and training levels to ensure the required capabilities are organic to the JTF. One important requisite skill set is the staff’s proficiency on joint C2 systems, networks, and software applications. The theater army is equipped with Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS) and is able to train on them. However, the theater army must coordinate with the GCC to gain access to joint C2 capabilities for CCP training.

DJC2 provides the combatant and component commands a rapidly deployable, scalable, modular command post suite, according to the DJC2 Program Executive Office (PEO). Reconfiguration of the DJC2 system allows for rapid response and en route communications capabilities if required. This suite of equipment 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

Go to https://www.djc2.org for additional information covering the DJC2 program. Thus, gaining access to joint C2 systems for training, the CCP is largely a question of coordination and scheduling between theater armies and their respective GCCs.

2-1. In order to better understand how the theater army conducts operations, this chapter will examine several historical examples and hypothetical scenarios to illustrate how JTFs have been formed and used in the past and how the theater army and its CCP might be employed under similar circumstances in the future. These examples will examine theater army operations, both as the ASCC in support of Army and joint forces operating in JOAs within the AOR and as an ARFOR or JTF directly commanding and controlling Army and/or joint forces conducting operations in a designated JOA. In all cases, the theater army headquarters, with its organic CCP, is simply one of several tools available to the GCC to address the operational C2 requirements across the AOR. The GCC determines to use or not use the theater army or its CCP in the C2 scheme for any given operation. The examples that follow merely explore ways for employing the theater army and it’s CCP.

2-2. The first example, Operation Desert Shield, provides a situation, which is useful for examining how the theater army provides sustainment support to Army and joint forces in a JOA. It also provides an opportunity to explore CCP employment options to command and control the initial phases of a long-term operation. Examples are the rapid deployment of an airborne brigade combat team (BCT) to deter an

2-3. In the early morning hours of August 2, 1990, three armored divisions of Saddam Hussein’s elite Iraqi Republican Guard crossed the Kuwaiti border and sped toward the city of Kuwait. The several brigades of the Kuwaiti Army, already disorganized by special operations attacks, proved no match for this assault. Within days, most Kuwaiti forces had surrendered or escaped to Saudi Arabia, the Republican Guard divisions had closed the Saudi border, and the Iraqi follow-on forces had fanned out to secure the oil fields and commercial wealth of the small, yet prosperous country.
643 644 645 646 647 648 649 650 651 652
2-4. For the American government and President George H. W. Bush, the first priority was to deter further Iraqi aggression and provide an effective defense of Saudi Arabia. Disruption of Kuwaiti oil supplies was damaging enough to the global economy; disruption of Saudi oil supplies could have been disastrous. The Saudis shared Bush’s view, and their national leadership overcame a traditional antipathy to the presence of foreign troops. On August 6, 1990, Saudi King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz approved American intervention to assist in the defense of his kingdom. The president approved the deployment of combat forces to the kingdom. Shortly, thereafter, SECDEF issued a directive assigning Central Command the mission to deter and counter any Iraqi aggression against Saudi Arabia. The challenge for the U.S. Army and the other services was to turn that line into a substantial barrier through which Iraqi forces could not penetrate.
653 654 655 656 657 658
2-5. Under the direction of U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM), the force buildup, code-named Operation DESERT SHIELD, began. With the operational area halfway around the world from the United States and thousands of Iraqi troops sitting on the Kuwait-Saudi border, speed in the buildup was critical. The President’s intent was to deploy enough forces to deter an Iraqi attack on Saudi Arabia and, eventually, to enforce UN Security Council Resolutions calling for Iraq’s withdrawal from Kuwait. Diplomatic efforts would allow time to build an effective military multinational to fight a war.
659 660 661 662 663 664 665 666 667
2-6. The buildup of Operation DESERT SHIELD took on a solid joint character from the very beginning. General Schwarzkopf named competent component commanders. The Ninth Air Force under Lieutenant General Charles Horner became US Central Command Air Forces (USCENTAF). Third Army, under Lieutenant General John Yeosock, became US Army Forces, Central Command (USARCENT). Lieutenant General Walter Boomer, the Commanding General of the First Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), became commander of the US Marine Component, US Central Command (USMARFORCENT), and the Seventh Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Henry Mauz, commanded US Naval Forces, US Central Command (USNAVCENT). Special Operations Component, US Central Command, retained OPCON of all SOF. See Figure 2-2. Central Command (CENTCOM) Command and Control (C2) below.

Figure 2-2. Central Command (CENTCOM) Command and Control (C2) 2-7. The deployment of combat forces to the Gulf started on 7 August 1990. The first Army unit to deploy was the ready brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division. With its light antitank weapons and Sheridan tanks, the second Brigade established perimeter defenses around Dhahran airfield and the port at Al Jubayl. The lead elements of the XVIII Airborne Corps assault CP arrived by air on 9 August, although most of its command post equipment arrived later by sea. By 24 August, the first and third Brigades had completed their deployment to Saudi Arabia. Additional Army units also arrived in August, including the 7th Transportation Group, the 11th Signal Brigade, and the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. The organization of this force package allowed it to meet the daily demands of a changing and growing force.

2-8. The command structure established by CENTCOM for DESERT SHIELD (and later DESERT STORM) was unique in several ways. First, GEN Schwarzkopf did not establish a subordinate JTF to command and control the operation. Instead, GEN Schwarzkopf, as CENTCOM commander, retained direct control of his Service and functional components. In addition, he personally served as the land component commander over 3rd Army (including two Army corps) and I MEF which executed major land operations and did not use a Joint Force Land Component Commander (JFLCC) as advocates of joint doctrine might have expected. However, Schwarzkopf did exercise command and control over all Army through a single Army component headquarters, ARCENT/Third Army. ARCENT, under command of LTG Yeosock, in its role as the ASCC to CENTCOM, provided command and control over all Army theater-level ADCON and sustainment responsibilities, as well as for the combat, combat support and combat service support assets in the two Army corps. Yeosock also performed overall land component planning responsibilities for GEN Schwarzkopf in the absence of a dedicated JFLCC. ARCENT provided ADCON over all Army forces deploying into the AOR and sustainment support to Army, joint, and multinational forces engaged in the operation (including ASOS, CUL, and AEA functions). ARCENT opened the theater, established aerial and seaports of debarkation (APODs/SPODs) and organized base support areas in Saudi Arabia and in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is consistent with the current Sustainment Concept of Support (developed and implemented several years after Desert Shield) and the theater army roles and responsibilities for supporting the GCC’s requirements across the AOR and in support of JOAs opened within the AOR, as set forth in this FM. ARCENT executed these Army support functions even though it did not have a theater sustainment command or other theater enabling commands (TECs) subsequently provided under the modular Army designs.

2-9. The early phases of Desert Shield provide a scenario to examine options for employing the theater army CCP as a forward command post for immediate response to a crisis. In limited intervention operations such as deterrence or show of force, the very act of deploying an operational command post to a forward location is provocative and may strongly influence the behavior of potential adversaries. It is both a demonstration of political will to confront potential adversaries as well as a practical preparatory measure to establish forward command and control capabilities for the initiation of military operations should deterrence fail. Coupled with the rapid deployment of even a token combat force (in this case, the Ready Brigade of the 82nd ABN Div), the timely deployment of a forward command post is powerful tool for deterrence. The theater army CCP design facilitates its use for immediate response to unanticipated crises and is a viable option in this scenario. Even for operations like Desert Shield, where an extended build-up of forces was expected, the CCP could have been employed effectively as the nucleus of an early entry forward command post for either CENTCOM or ARCENT. The CCP could have provided C2 for the immediate response force until reinforced or relieved by a warfighting headquarters capable of commanding and controlling sustained operations (Army division or corps).
716 717 718 719 720 721 722 723 724 725 726 727
2-10. In scenarios similar to Desert Shield, the CCP could be used to form the nucleus of a JTF headquarters, with several options available to the GCC. The GCC could designate the theater army as the JTF HQs, with the theater army commander dual-hatted as both the ASCC and JTF commander. Another option would be for the GCC to task the theater army to provide the CCP and its personnel to form the core of an ad hoc JTF headquarters under the command of the GCC or other designated senior officer (i.e. another component commander or the GCC’s DCG). The theater army, with its CCP, could also be designated the JFLC or operational ARFOR (with direct OPCON of forces) under a JTF for smaller scale contingency operations. The theater army retains its responsibilities for ADCON, ASOS, AEA, CUL and all Army service functions (Title 10, USC) even if the theater army commander commands the JTF, JFLC or operational ARFOR. The CCP would provide the current operations command post functions, relying on the theater army MCP (and TECs) for planning, analysis and coordination support. The MCP would focus on sustainment support for Army and joint forces, both AOR-wide and within the JOA.

2-11. The second example, from Operation Assured Response, offers a historical scenario in which the theater army CCP’s immediate response capability could have been effectively employed. It also offers an example of how one headquarters (in this case Special Operations Command – Europe or SOCEUR) formed the special CJTF which initiated the operation, and was subsequently relieved by a second headquarters (MEB) – a situation contemplated for the CCP in cases where the operation extends beyond the CCP’s designed endurance (greater than 30 days). Finally, Operation Assured Response provides an example of circumstances in which the JTF forward command post established itself outside the area of operations – a likely scenario for CCP deployments.
738 739 740 741 742
2-12. For Operation ASSURED RESPONSE in Liberia, forces from the Republic of Georgia, Italy, and Germany joined with U.S. special operations, Air Force, Navy, and Marine forces to conduct a noncombatant evacuation operation. In early 1996, gunmen filled the streets of Monrovia, Liberia as the country split into armed factions’ intent on seizing power. The situation worsened as faction members took hostages.

2-13. On 9 April 1996, President Clinton ordered the U.S. military to evacuate Americans and designated third party foreign nationals. In rapid response, the Army deployed Special Forces, an airborne infantry company, signal augmentation, and a medical section as part of a special operations task force from Special Operations Command–Europe, known as JTF ASSURED RESPONSE. Refer to Figure 2-3. NEO Operation: Operation Assured Response and Figure 2-4. NEO Operations Monrovia, Liberia below.

2-19. Operation Assured Response provides a NEO scenario to examine employment options for the CCP. Historically, US European Command (EUCOM), utilizing its assigned Special Forces component (SOCEUR) to form the initial CJTF headquarters, conducted the operation. The subsequent establishment of U.S. Africa Command with U.S. Army Africa as its ASCC raises questions regarding the relevance of the historical EUCOM command and control structure. The main question is how AFRICOM and USARAF approach an Operation Assured Response scenario given their lack of theater-committed forces. The discussion that follows will examine the scenario from the perspective of AFRICOM and USARAF and their current reality in which they do not have immediately available theater-committed forces.

operations involving limited numbers of units, small force packages, and operations of limited duration. The theater army CCP could form the nucleus of a small JTF headquarters, commanded by the USARAF commander or other senior officer designated by the GCC. The force packages required to execute the evacuation operations (security, aviation, airlift, medical treatment & sustainment) must come from sources outside the AOR.
EXAMPLE NUMBER 3: HURRICANES GEORGES AND MITCH – DISASTER RELIEF/ FOREIGN HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE Figure 2-5. Disaster Relief/Foreign Humanitarian Assistance 2-21. The theater army’s CCP is well-suited to provide C2 for Army and/or joint forces engaged in Humanitarian Assistance or Disaster Relief (HA/DR). Department of Defense (DOD) normally has a supporting role in HA/DR operations, with the US ambassadors/Chiefs of Mission posted to the affected host nations and US Department of State (DOS) as the US government agency lead. However, exceptions do exist. Two exceptions are the U.S. Mission is not functional because of damage or the host nation government collapses and the country descends into anarchy. In such extreme cases, the operation often changes from HA/DR to other forms of international intervention. This was not the case in the fall of 1998 when Hurricane Georges and Hurricane Mitch devastated several countries and the US Territory of Puerto Rico within weeks of each other. See Figures 2-5. Disaster Relief/Foreign Humanitarian Assistance, Figure 2-6. Hurricane Georges 15 SEP 1998, and Figure 2-7. Hurricane Mitch 22 OCT 1998. These scenarios are useful for exploring the options available to the GCC for CCP employment. These scenarios provide useful examples of how very small JTFs deal with specific country situations, with a higher JTF providing centralized planning and coordination of DOD support to inter-agency efforts and Unified Action plans. All this conducted under environmental, diplomatic and political circumstances that vary widely between affected host nations (compare the diplomatic challenges of deploying U.S. military forces into Nicaragua for disaster relief to the relatively benign diplomatic environment in Honduras). See Figure 2-5. Disaster Relief/Foreign Humanitarian Assistance for paths of Hurricanes.

In the fall of 1998, two devastating hurricanes (Hurricanes Georges and Hurricane Mitch) hit within a four-week span in the Caribbean and Central America areas affecting both foreign territories and U.S. territory (especially Puerto Rico). These two hurricanes yielded a substantial number of deaths and injuries with widespread property damage. U.S. military forces, specifically within the USSOUTHCOM AOR, 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

mounted large-scale responses to these disasters, in conjunction with the affected countries, civilian relief agencies of the United States government (USG), foreign governments, the UN, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private businesses, and individuals. The SOUTHCOM Commander created two joint task forces (JTFs) for disaster response, reoriented the mission of a third JTF toward relief efforts, and employed more than 7,000 U.S. military personnel deployed to the region to assist with the response to the damage caused by these events.
817 818 819 820 821
2-23. For Hurricane Georges, U.S. military assistance focused on civil support operations in Puerto Rico, in support of Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA) and HA/DR in the Dominican Republic, in support of the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA). U.S. military personnel, stationed in Haiti as part of Support Group Haiti, provided limited assistance in that nation. In the eastern Caribbean islands, the U.S. military provided limited but important support.
822 823 824 825 826 827 828 829 830
2-24. The DoD asset in greatest demand following Hurricane Georges was air transport; both strategic lift into the area of operations (AO) and theater lift to distribute relief supplies. Another major asset employed was a Disaster Response Joint Task Force (DRJTF), designated JTF Full Provider deployed aboard the USS Bataan with 900 U.S. Marines from the second Force Service Support Group (FSSG). JTF Full Provider coordinated U.S. military support of both Puerto Rico civil support operations and foreign disaster relief in such places as the Dominican Republic. In Puerto Rico, Naval Station Roosevelt Roads (NSRR) became the logistics hub for FEMA relief operations. In the Dominican Republic, the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) provided essential coordination with the Country Team and host nation military and support at Santo Domingo airport for the relief effort.

2-25. The DoD response to Hurricane Mitch far surpassed the response to Hurricane Georges in scope, complexity, cost, and duration, as well as in the range of policy issues it generated. U.S. military personnel conducted significant relief operations in the four Central American countries primarily affected by Hurricane Mitch: Honduras and Nicaragua, the two most seriously affected nations, and Guatemala and El Salvador, which suffered moderate damage. In each of the affected countries, U.S. military units concentrated their activities in specified geographic regions, assigned through discussions with host governments to complement ongoing host nation and other responses, rather than operating countrywide. U.S. based air and sea military transport assets moved large quantities of personnel and materiel to the AO.

delivery, immunizations against epidemic diseases, veterinary care, bridge and road reconstruction, water purification, liaison, and planning. During these efforts, DoD personnel interfaced with government officials, international and local NGOs, local and third country military forces, UN agencies, banana plantation owners, local religious and community leaders, and traumatized villagers. Command and control of military forces for the Hurricane Mitch operation initially fell to JTF BRAVO located on Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras. However, the massive devastation in Honduras required JTF BRAVO’s full attention, and a second JTF stood up on the Comalapa Air Base, El Salvador (JTF AGUILA) with subordinate reporting JTFs set up in the counties of Guatemala and Nicaragua. The overall operations consisted of three phases: Emergency Relief Phase – commencing when the Hurricane struck Central America and continuing through mid-December 1998 Rehabilitation Phase – commencing in mid-December 1998 and continuing until approximately 26 February 1999 Reconstruction Phase (not addressed in this report) – commencing at the end of the Rehabilitation Phase and continuing into September 1999.

2-28. The Hurricane Georges and Hurricane Mitch humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations provide multiple examples for the CCPs effective employment. Deliberately organized to provide the capabilities to monitor and control current operations, the CCP can form the nucleus or core element of a small JTF headquarters. The CCP based JTF receives augmentation from the theater army MCP, the GCC staff and other service component commands to provide the needed capabilities. The CCP is available to command and control the immediate response to crisis to include coordination. Coordination consist of working with U.S. military assistance groups to assess requirements of the U.S. country team, host nation, 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

and facilitate the deployment of disaster assistance response teams (DARTs). Additional coordination is required for the delivery of relief supplies and follow-on disaster relief forces such as U.S. Army engineers, aviation elements, medical treatment teams, and airfield control parties. Given DOD will likely have a supporting role in most HA/DR operations, a CCP-based JTF can manage the coordination of DOD support to multiple countries (through resident U.S. MILGPs and country teams) as well as civil support operations such as the Hurricane Georges effort in Puerto Rico. The CCP design facilitates its use as the nucleus of a smaller subordinate JTF like JTF Aguila in El Salvador. The theater army, with its CCP, provides the GCC with an additional tool to meet the command and control requirements for effective crisis response for HA/DR and other types of limited operations.

Figure 3-1. Theater Army 5.4 Main Command Post Organization 3-2. The MCP is primarily responsible for Title 10, administrative control, Army support to other services, and Army executive agent functions in support of the GCC’s area of responsibility (see Annex B).. The theater army is responsible for providing ADCON over all Army forces forward-stationed, transiting or deployed to the AOR and controls Army support to joint, interagency and multinational elements, as directed by the GCC. In most cases, the theater army fulfills these responsibilities by 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

allocating resources and delegating missions to subordinate theater enabling commands or brigades, which conduct the detailed planning and execution (actual delivery of products or services). The MCP also supports Army, joint, and multinational forces deployed to JOAs established within the AOR. Such support includes theater opening, RSO&I, common user logistics (CUL) and other services associated with Army Executive Agent responsibilities. The vast majorities of these responsibilities are sustainment-related, and performed through the subordinate TSC and /or deployed ESC (Expeditionary Sustainment Command). Other, non-sustainment ASOS/AEA responsibilities of the theater army include the following (see Annex B for a complete listing of ASOS, AEA, and OPLAN/CONPLAN-derived responsibilities): Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Theater chemical defense Military working dog program General engineering Detention Operations Military postal services Civil affairs Communications Military support to civil authorities U.S. military confinement facilities Mapping, charting & geodesy Joint combat camera The MCP is primarily a planning and coordination element, and is responsible for developing and maintaining OPLANS/CONPLANS, and Service supporting plans to the GCC’s Theater Campaign Plan. The MCP may provide command and control over Army forces involved in operations, training exercises, and other theater security cooperation activities. It also conducts collaborative planning with any Army headquarters designated to deploy within the AOR. This collaborative planning support facilitates the transition of existing OPLANS/CONPLANS into the incoming headquarters’ own Operation Orders (OPORDs) for execution, and to provide the theater army’s regional expertise to support to the planning and execution of operations, exercises or other theater security cooperation activities. The MCP provides direct planning support to the CCP when it deploys (as a forward CP) to C2 smaller scale contingency operations or to participate in exercises and other theater security cooperation activities. As an operational headquarters, the theater army’s normal battle rhythm and work schedule conform to mission requirements and are coordinated with the Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC) headquarters to which the theater army is assigned. However, during steady state operations most of the theater army staff elements typically works a standard workday that conforms to prevailing business work hours of the local community. The Current Operations Integration Cell (COIC) of the Movement and Maneuver Warfighting Functional Cell is an exception to that norm, and is organized to monitor the activities of Army forces within the AOR 24 hrs per day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year, even when the CCP isnot deployed.

3-3. The MCP staff organization contains elements of both functional and G-staff/special staff design. Functionally, the MCP staff is organized into six warfighting functional Cells which combine certain GStaff and Special Staff Sections into logical functional groupings. The six functional Cells are Intelligence, Movement & Maneuver (M2), Fires, Protection, Sustainment, and Mission Command. The theater army Chief of Staff is responsible for overall supervision of MCP operations, and for organizing and training the staff, in accordance with the commander’s guidance. Command Group: The theater army command group includes the commander, a deputy commander, the command sergeant major (CSM), the chief of staff (CoS), secretary to the general staff (SGS), the Political Advisor, Science Advisor plus the enlisted and officer aides to the CG/DCG, and administrative staff and drivers. Personal Staff includes Internal Review, Chaplain, PAO, SJA, Surgeon, Safety, and IG.

Special Staff (per FM 5-0) includes all staff elements, which are not personal staff or not assigned to a primary coordinating staff section. The theater army special staff includes the following staff Elements: Inspector General (IG), Staff Judge Advocate (SJA), Public Affairs (PA), Knowledge Management, Chaplain, Red Team, Operations Research Systems Analysis (ORSA), Command Liaison Teams (LNO), and Digital LNO Detachments (when applicable). Intelligence Cell: The Intelligence Cell is composed of the Intelligence Operations, Intelligence Control, G2X and Intelligence Support Sections and the USAF Staff Weather Office. The G2 is the Chief of the Intelligence Cell. Movement & Maneuver Cell: The Movement and Maneuver Cell forms the three integrating Cells: Current Operations Integration Cell (COIC), Future Operations (FUOP) Cell, and Plans Cell (See FM 5-0). The G3 is both the Theater Army Operations Officer, responsible for integrating all components of the operation into the theater army’s single, unified operation, and the Chief of the Movement and Maneuver Warfighting Functional Cell. The Movement and Maneuver Cell also is designed with the traditional G3 operations, support, training, security cooperation and force management sections with the numerous elements subordinate to them. Fires Cell: The Fires Cell is composed of headquarters, electronic warfare (EW), and joint fires sections. The Fires Cell Director is the Theater Army’s Chief of Fires. Protection Cell: The Protection Cell is composed of the Provost Marshall (PMO), Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear and High Yield Explosives (CBRNE), Air & Missile Defense (AMD), Anti-terrorism/Force Protection, Personnel Recovery, and Safety Staff Sections. The Protection Cell is also responsible for the Operations Security (OPSEC) function. The Chief of the Protection Cell is coded O1C, a multi-functional officer specialty open to MP, Chemical, or Engineer officers. The Corps 4.1 design aligns the Engineer Section under the Protection Cell. The Theater Army design aligns the Engineer section under the Sustainment Cell since its primary duties are sustainment related. The Universal Joint Task List (UJTL) supports this difference by aligning engineer functions under sustainment vice protection. Sustainment Cell: The Sustainment Cell is composed of the G-1/Personnel, G4/Logistics, G8/Financial Management, Engineer and Surgeon Staff Sections. The Chief of the Sustainment Cell is an O-7, General Officer. Mission Command Cell: The Mission Command Cell is composed of the G-7 Information Engagement and G-9 Civil Affairs Sections, as well as the G-6/ Signal Section. The Mission Command Cell is an abstract construction, and does not function in the same manner as the other Warfighting Functional Cells. Although the theater army Commander is, conceptually, the Chief of the Mission Command Cell, the commander does not manage the day-to-day activities of the Cell. As a practical matter, the Chief of Staff is responsible for the day-to-day management and integration of the functions of all component Sections of the Cell. Unlike the other G-staff and functional Cells, ASCCs supported by a Signal Command do not have a permanently assigned G-6/Signal Chief to the theater army headquarters. The commander of the Signal Command (Theater) is dual-hatted as the theater army G-6/Signal Chief in theaters assigned this enabler.

4-1. The Contingency Command Post (CCP) is a relatively lean, deployable element of the theater army headquarters, designed specifically to meet the GCC’s requirements for a limited command and control capability, which is theater-committed and immediately available to respond to a crisis anywhere within the AOR. Figure 4-1 depicts the Theater Army 5.4 CCP. The real value of the CCP is its immediate response capability rather than its capability to command and control complex or sustained operations. During steady-state operations, the CCP will normally co-locate with the MCP for stationing purposes but, as determined by the Commander or Chief of Staff, the CCP will remain organized as a separate command post. The Chief of Staff establishes and determines CCP’s business rules, battle rhythm, and work schedule based on its assigned tasks and missions, which are distinct from those assigned to the MCP. One example is the planning, preparing, and executing of Joint or Combined exercises. Maintaining the CCP as a separate command post facilitates the training of the CCP staff in their operational command and control functions. The separation enhances the CCP’s ability for rapid response or deployment as well.
999 1000 1001 1002 1003 1004
4-2. The CCP is capable of providing command and control of operations within its limitations. Normally, command and control over the execution of operations within the AO will require the CCP to operate continuously 24 hours a day, seven days a week from initiation of the operation until completion or until the CCP is relieved of its mission. The CCP staff elements provide two fully functional 12-hour shifts to operate the Current Operations Integration Cell (COIC). Other staff capabilities, which are not required on a continuous basis, are organized to provide 24/7 on-call services, as required

4-3. CCP provides the theater army with a capability to directly command and control smaller types of Limited Intervention or Peace operations. These operations can range from contingency assessment to facilitating theater army forward command and control to Non-combatant Evacuation (NEO) or Foreign Humanitarian Assistance, in both permissive and non-permissive environments where major combat operations are not anticipated, to Peace Operations, such as peace enforcement. These operations may involve some combat, but are limited in scale, scope, and complexity and expected intensity and duration. The CCP also provides the theater army commander a flexible command post to meet some Theater Campaign Plan (TCP) related requirements to provide exercise control headquarters for and/or participate in joint and combined exercises with the ground forces of partner nations within the AOR. This is an incidental capability rather than a specific design requirement. The CCP can be tailored and reinforced with additional staff personnel from the theater army’s MCP and/or with staff and capabilities from theater supporting units (e.g., theater signal, medical, civil affairs, sustainment) to meet the METT-TC requirements for either C2 of military operations or TCP-related exercises, exchanges, and other activities. The following sections further describe the CCP’s roles, missions, capabilities, limitations, and dependencies.
1020 1021 1022 1023 1024 1025 1026 1027 1028
4-4. The CCP provides one of several command and control options available to the GCC and the theater army commander to meet AO-specific requirements for command and control (C2) of Army and/or joint forces conducting military operations within the AOR. The CCP design allows it to be small and affordable, while providing an easily tailored and rapidly deployable C2 capability. It is immediately available to the GCC and theater army commander, to facilitate C2 of a limited range of military operations for a limited duration of time. The CCP cannot function as the primary command post for major operations involving multiple brigade-sized formations operating for extended periods or in intense combat, unless augmented. A variety of sources can provide the needed augmentation - the MCP, GCC staff, other service component commands, and JMD request.
1029 1030 1031 1032 1033 1034 1035 1036 1037 1038 1039 1040
4-5. Every mission begins with mission analysis, which will determine which of the Army’s available headquarters is most appropriate to the task. Taking fully into account the CCP’s inherent capabilities and limitations, the theater army commander may determine that the CCP is adequate, with or without augmentation, to provide effective command and control over a given mission from start to finish. In some cases, the GCC or theater army commander may determine the CCP is adequate to C2 the operation or provide a forward command post until a more capable headquarters can arrive. The design team determined 30 days of continuous operations is the upper limit of CCP to command and control operations. The 30-day rule is not immutable. The CCP is capable of operating beyond 30-days if augmented or performing relatively simple operations. Thus, the decision on whether or not to employ the CCP for a given mission involves a trade-off between the CCP’s immediately responsive capability, and its known limitations with regard to the scale, scope, complexity, intensity, and duration of operations that it can effectively command and control without significant augmentation.
1041 1042 1043 1044
4-6. In short, the CCP provides the theater army commander with an organic capability to meet the GCC’s requirements for immediate response to unanticipated crises within the AOR. As an organic element of the theater army headquarters, the CCP is committed to the theater, and immediately available for deployment to command and control operations within an AO.

4-7. The CCP provides several options for employment. The CCP may be employed within the AOR in a variety of ways, including as the forward command post of the theater army commander providing C2 over Army and/or joint forces; as the nucleus of a small JTF headquarters working directly for the GCC; or in other tailored configurations, which take advantage of the CCP’s flexibility and rapid deployability. In the first case, the theater army may be designated as a JTF headquarters for a Limited Intervention or Peace Operation, and the CCP (with joint augmentation from the GCC or other service components) forms the nucleus of a JTF under the direct command of the theater army commander (who is, himself, subordinate to the GCC). In the second case, the GCC might task the theater army to provide the CCP as the nucleus of a small JTF (probably commanded by the theater army DCG), which would receive augmentation from the GCC in the form of either selective augmentation from the GCC staff, augmentation with the GCC’s Standing Joint Force Headquarters Element (SJFHQ), or with a Joint Manning Document (JMD) tailored to the existing mission. In this situation, the CCP merely provides the personnel and equipment around which a tailored (ad hoc) JTF headquarters is organized, and the operational control (OPCON) of the CCP and its 15 July 2010 (Final Draft)

1058 1059 1060 1061 1062 1063 1064
personnel would pass to the designated Joint Force Commander. Other employment options will take advantage of the flexibility, expansibility, and rapid deployability of the CCP to employ it in part or in total to conduct crisis assessments or to function, with augmentation and reachback, as a form of ―mobile command group,‖ integrating with forward-based staff in existing facilities to provide the theater army commander with forward presence and reachback during contingencies where support capacity already exists on location.
CCP ROLES & MISSIONS
1065 1066 1067
4-8. NEO (non-combatant evacuation operations): The CCP is capable of commanding and controlling NEO, in permissive, uncertain, and hostile operational environments, including missions involving limited combat and security operations (limited in terms of scale, scope, complexity, intensity, and duration).
1068 1069 1070 1071 1072 1073
4-9. Consequence Management: The CCP is capable of providing the initial command and control for Consequence Management operations, when provided subordinate units with tailored capabilities appropriate to the mission. One example of an augmentation force is the Weapons of Mass Destruction Coordination Elements (WMD-CE) of the 20th Support Command. The command must augment the CCP or replace it with a headquarters more capable of commanding and controlling sustained operations for consequence management.
1074 1075 1076 1077 1078 1079 1080 1081 1082
4-10. Foreign Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Response: The CCP is capable of rapidly deploying a team to assess HA/DR needs for the theater army or unified commander. The CCP has the capability to command and control foreign humanitarian assistance/disaster response operations, including those in nonpermissive operational environments requiring limited combat or security operations to secure facilities and infrastructure critical to delivery of humanitarian assistance (bases, ports, and roads), protect vehicles, facilities, and personnel of U.S. or other organizations involved in the preparation, storage, and delivery of aid. The CCP can accomplish this task when provided subordinate units with tailored capabilities appropriate for the mission. One example is additional liaison teams to coordinate with USG agencies, Host nation authorities, and international organizations.
1083 1084 1085 1086 1087 1088 1089 1090 1091 1092
4-11. Peace Operations: The CCP is capable of providing command and control of the initial phases of peace operations -- limited in scope, scale, complexity, intensity and duration – given a set of subordinate elements with appropriate combat capabilities. Peace operations normally involve the deployment of significant military forces for extended or protracted periods of time (Bosnia, Kosovo, and Sinai), for which the CCP is obviously ill suited. It is, however, the CCP’s capability to command and control immediate response forces, which lends itself to a limited role for the CCP in peace operations. This is particularly true where the immediate insertion of US military forces is required to separate two or more antagonists who have mutually agreed to stop shooting at each other. The command must augment the CCP or replace it with a headquarters more capable of commanding and controlling sustained operations for consequence management.
1093 1094 1095 1096 1097 1098 1099 1100 1101 1102 1103
4-12. Theater Security Cooperation/Building Partner Capacity: The ability to conduct theater security cooperation/ partner building activities is incidental and not a requirement for the CCP. The CCP is capable of commanding and controlling selected Army elements participating in joint and combined exercises with land forces of partner nations within the GCC’s AOR, either as an exercise control headquarters or as a participating unit replicating the command post of other Army warfighting headquarters. The CCP is capable of providing command post and/or staff capabilities tailored to the requirements of specific bilateral wargames, simulations, and Command Post Exercises (CPXs). This capability provides an opportunity to promote inter-operability between US and multinational military forces. Common doctrine and standard operating procedures are a few examples of how these opportunities are beneficial. The CCP can also provide the nucleus of a tailored (ad hoc) command post for Army and/or joint/multinational exercises, including joint augmentation from other services.

4-15. Span of Command & Control: The CCP is capable of commanding and controlling multiple subordinate units up to brigade size. The CCP increases its span of control for specific mission requirements with augmentation from other theater army headquarters or theater troops. For planning purposes, the CCP is capable of commanding and controlling up to two brigade-sized units or six subordinate elements, which may be any combination of BCTs, functional brigades, battalions or tailored task force packages. The CCP cannot function as the primary command post for major operations involving multiple brigade-sized formations operating for extended periods or in intense combat, unless augmented. A variety of sources can provide the needed augmentation - the MCP, GCC staff, other service component commands, and JMD request. An Army division or corps headquarters provides another option because it possesses the capability to exercise a greater span of control.
1119 1120 1121 1122
4-16. Linkage to Joint Capabilities: The CCP staff is capable of accessing and employing joint fires within the limitations on combat operations and dependencies listed below. The combatant command, joint or service headquarters provide other joint capabilities and augmentation if necessary. The CCP coordinates additional required capabilities through the MCP.
1123 1124 1125 1126 1127
4-17. Organic Administrative Support: The administrative and sustainment support for the CCP is provided by the Headquarters Support Company, (HSC) which provides field feeding, supply & sanitation, Role I medical treatment, and level I maintenance to the deployed CCP. It is dependent on the theater army’s headquarters and headquarters battalion for higher echelon support beyond the capability of the HSC.

LIMITATIONS
1129 1130 1131 1132
4-18. Duration of Operations: The CCP cannot command and control protracted military operations, unless appropriately augmented, reinforced or relieved. As a planning factor, 30 days of continous operations is considered the maximum duration in which the CCP can effectively operate without augmentation.
1133 1134 1135 1136 1137 1138 1139
4-19. Scale, Scope, Complexity, Intensity: The CCP is designed to command and control military operations of limited scope (range of activities), scale (dimensions of AO, number of units and size of forces), complexity (number of simultaneous, inter-related activities), and intensity (speed, tempo, degree of lethality or destruction within a given timeframe). The CCP must receive augmentation, be reinforced or relieved if the requirements exceed previously stated limitations. The CCP provides the GCC and the theater army commander with a limited, in-house operational C2 capability. It is not, however, the only tool or the preferred tool for all contingencies.

Command and Support Relationships
3658 3659 3660 3661 3662 3663
Command and support relationships provide the basis for unity of command and unity of effort in operations. Command relationships affect Army force generation, force tailoring, and task organization. Commanders use Army support relationships when task-organizing Army forces. All command and support relationships fall within the framework of joint doctrine. JP 1 discusses joint command relationships and authorities.
3664
CHAIN OF COMMAND
3665 3666 3667 3668 3669 3670 3671 3672 3673 3674
A-1. The President and Secretary of Defense exercise authority and control of the armed forces through two distinct branches of the chain of command. One branch runs from the President, through the Secretary of Defense, to the combatant commanders for missions and forces assigned to combatant commands. The other branch runs from the President through the Secretary of Defense to the secretaries of the military departments. The later branch serves other purposes than providing operational direction to combatant commands assigned forces. Each military department operates under the authority, direction, and control of the secretary of that military department. These secretaries exercise authority through their respective Service chiefs over Service forces not assigned to combatant commanders. The Service chiefs, except as otherwise prescribed by law, perform their duties under the authority, direction, and control of the secretaries to whom they are directly responsible.
3675 3676 3677 3678 3679 3680 3681 3682 3683
A-2. The typical operational chain of command extends from the combatant commander to a joint task force commander, then to a functional component commander or a Service component commander. Joint task forces and functional component commands, such as a land component, comprise forces that are normally subordinate to a Service component command but have been placed under the operational control (OPCON) of the joint task force, and subsequently to a functional component commander. Conversely, the combatant commander may designate one of the Service component commanders as the joint task force commander or as a functional component commander. In some cases, the combatant commander may not establish a joint task force, retaining operational control over subordinate functional commands and Service components directly.
3684 3685 3686 3687 3688
A-3. Under joint doctrine, each joint force includes a Service component command that provides administrative and logistic support to Service forces under OPCON of that joint force. However, Army doctrine distinguishes between the Army component of a combatant command and Army components of subordinate joint forces. Under Army doctrine, the theater army is assigned to a combatant command. There is only one theater army within a combatant command's area of responsibility.
3689 3690 3691 3692 3693 3694 3695 3696
A-4. The Secretary of the Army directs the flow of administrative control (ADCON). Administrative control for Army units within a combatant command normally extends from the Secretary of the Army through the theater army, through an ARFOR, and then to Army units assigned or attached to an Army headquarters within that joint command. However, administrative control is not tied to the operational chain of command. The Secretary of the Army may redirect some or all Service responsibilities outside the normal theater army channels. In similar fashion, the theater army may distribute some administrative responsibilities outside the ARFOR. Their primary considerations are the effectiveness of Army forces and the care of Soldiers.
3697 3698 3699
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL A-5. Administrative control is direction or exercise of authority over subordinate or other organizations in respect to administration and support, including organization of Service forces, control of resources and

equipment, personnel management, unit logistics, individual and unit training, readiness, mobilization, demobilization, discipline, and other matters not included in the operational missions of the subordinate or other organizations (JP 1). It is a Service authority, not a joint authority. It is exercised under the authority of and is delegated by the Secretary of the Army. ADCON is synonymous with the Army's Title 10 authorities and responsibilities.
3705 3706 3707 3708 3709 3710 3711
A-6. ADCON of Army forces involves the entire Army. The generating force consists of those Army organizations whose primary mission is to generate and sustain the operational Army's capabilities for employment by joint force commanders. Operating forces consist of those forces whose primary missions are to participate in combat and the integral supporting elements thereof (JP 1-02). Often, commanders in the operating force and commanders in the generating force subdivide specific responsibilities. Army generating force capabilities and organizations are linked to operating forces through co-location and reachback.
3712 3713 3714 3715 3716 3717 3718 3719 3720 3721 3722 3723 3724 3725 3726 3727
A-7. The theater army is always the senior Army headquarters assigned to a combatant command. Its commander exercises command authorities as assigned by the combatant commander and ADCON as delegated by the Secretary of the Army. ADCON is the Army's authority to administer and support Army forces even while in a combatant command area of responsibility. Combatant command (command authority) is the basic authority for command and control of the same Army forces. The Army is obligated to meet the combatant commander's requirements for the operational forces. Essentially, ADCON directs the Army's support of operational force requirements. Unless modified by the Secretary of the Army, administrative responsibilities normally flow from Department of the Army through the theater army to those Army forces assigned or attached to that combatant command. Theater Armies usually "share" ADCON for at least some administrative or support functions. "Shared ADCON" refers to the internal allocation of Title 10, U.S. Code, section 3013(b) responsibilities and functions. This is especially true for Reserve Component forces. Certain administrative functions, such as pay, stay with the Reserve Component headquarters, even after unit mobilization. Shared ADCON also applies to direct reporting units of the Army that typically perform single or unique functions. The direct reporting unit, rather than the theater army, typically manages individual and unit training for these units. The Secretary of the Army directs shared ADCON
