PACOM Command Structure
NCA Chain of Command Strategic National Channel of Comm Administrative Con CJCS CINC SPT CINC Strategic Theater USA COMP USN COMP USAF COMP USMC COMP SOF COMP Operational Level GIVEN THE EXISTING THEATER STRUCTURE, THIS SLIDE SHOWS WHERE THE JTF FITS IN TO THE NATIONAL COMMAND AND CONTROL STRUCTURE. KEY IS THE FOCUS OF THE LEVELS OF COMMAND THE CINC IS FOCUSED AT THE STRATEGIC THEATER LEVEL. HIS STAFF CONDUCTS MISSION ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPS COURSES OF ACTION FOCUSING ON THE THEATER STRATEGIC LEVEL OF WAR. THE JOINT TASK FORCE OPERATES AT THE OPERATIONAL LEVEL, OPERATING IN AN AREA DESIGNATED BY THE CINC. THEIR FOCUS IS THE CAMPAIGN AND CONTROLLING THE COMPONENTS WHO ARE OPERATING AT THE TACTICAL LEVEL. JTF Tactical Level USA COMP USN COMP USAF COMP USMC COMP SOF COMP JPOTF

Crisis Action is Different
Not Business as usual Minimal Time Phase I: Situation Development Phase II: Crisis Assessment Phase III: COA Development Phase IV: COA Selection Phase V: Execution Planning Phase VI: Execution Philosophy Structure Procedures Operational Level… THE DJTFAC IS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST THE JTF HQ WITH CRISIS ACTION PLANNING. CRISIS ACTION PLANNING IS DIFFERENT THAN DELIBERATE PLANNING. SHOWN ON THE LEFT ARE THE PHASES OF CRISIS ACTION PLANNING. CRISIS ACTION PLANNING DICTATES A DIFFERENT PLANNING PHILOSOPHY, DIFFERENT PROCEDURES THAN NORMAL DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, AND PERHAPS A DIFFERENT STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE OPERATION. THE STAFF HAS TO CHANGE THE LEVEL OF THINKING. OPERATIONAL ISSUES ARE NOT NECESSARILY WHERE THE STAFF NORMALLY FOCUSES. IT REQUIRES EFFORT TO BRING THE CONVERSATION AND THE ANALYSIS TO THE OPERATIONAL LEVEL. THE TENDENCY IS TO DELVE INTO THE TACTICAL ARENA, WHERE WE ARE ALL COMFORTABLE. HOWEVER, ONCE YOUR HQ ASSUMES THE ROLE OF JTF HQ, YOU WILL HAVE COMPONENTS TO CONCENTRATE ON TACTICAL MATTERS. THE JTF MUST FOCUS OPERATIONALLY, AND IT SOMETIMES IS A DIFFICULT PROCESS. WE RECOMMEND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CELLULAR ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE STAFF. EACH CELL IS STAFFED WITH PERSONNEL FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES. THIS STRUCTURE CONTRIBUTES TO BETTER CROSS-COMMUNICATION AND PROVIDES FOR FASTER STAFFING. Cellular Staff Structure Ops Comm Plans Intel Pers Log

JTF Employment in PACOM
MOOTW / SSC is most likely scenario Short Duration / Small Scale / No-Notice Joint Multinational / Interagency Chain of Command: NCA--CINC--JTF Commander Use of JOPES Crisis Action Procedures Required Bottom Line: Requires Joint Staff employing Joint Processes

USCINCPAC Two-Tiered Concept
CAO 7TH FLEET I MEF III MEF I CORPS SOCPAC THE FOCUS OF THE TWO-TIER STAFF - OR JTF STAFF - IS ON NO-NOTICE, RELATIVELY SMALL, SHORT DURATION THEATER CONTINGENCIES. IN ALL LIKELIHOOD THERE ARE NO “OFF-THE-SHELF” PLANS AVAILABLE. CINCPAC WILL COMMAND USING JOINT FORCES UNDER A JTF COMMANDER REPORTING DIRECTLY TO HIM. WE USE DESIGNATED HEADQUARTERS TO FORM THE NUCLEUS OF THE JTF STAFF, AUGMENTED BY THE USCINCPAC DEPLOYABLE JOINT TASK FORCE AUGMENTATION CELL. SINCE PACOM JTF COMMANDERS ARE NORMALLY COMMANDERS OF TACTICAL UNITS IN THEIR DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, THEIR STAFFS ARE USUALLY NOT FOCUSED ON JOINT OPERATIONS.

THE LEAP TO THE OPERATIONAL LEVEL ... CHALLENGE
NCA CINC JTF TACTICAL LEVEL USMC MARFOR NAVFOR AFFOR ARFOR JSOTF USA … IS A FORMIDABLE CHALLENGE MEF THIS SLIDE DEPICTS PERHAPS THE HARDEST TASK WE FACE WHEN FORMING THE JTF: THE LEAP FROM TACTICAL THOUGHT TO OPERATIONAL LEVEL THOUGHT. ALL OF US WERE “RAISED” IN OUR RESPECTIVE SERVICE CULTURES. EACH ONE OF US HAS DEMONSTRATED PROFICIENCY AT THE TACTICAL LEVEL OF WAR. WE ARE COMFORTABLE OPERATING AT THIS LEVEL, AS WE HAVE COMPLETELY MASTERED THE SUBJECT MATERIAL AT THIS LEVEL. NOW WE ARE ASKED TO MAKE A LEAP. WE NO LONGER ARE INFANTRYMEN CHECKING MAPS FOR FIELDS OF FIRE; PILOTS BRIEFING WINGMEN ON THE FLIGHT FORMATION INTO THE TARGET AREA; WATCH STANDERS ENSURING SHIPS ARE MAINTAINING CORRECT FORMATION. WE HAVE TO ELEVATE OUR THOUGHTS AND CONCENTRATE ON COMMAND AND CONTROL, LOGISTICS PRIORITIES, OPERATIONAL LEVEL OBJECTIVES, FOCUS ON THOSE THING WE NEED TO WORK ON AND ALLOW THE COMPONENTS TO WORK THE TACTICAL PIECE. OUR JOB IS NOT TO CONDUCT THE FIGHT. OUR JOB IS TO SET THE CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESS IN THE BATTLESPACE FOR OUR SUBORDINATE COMPONENTS USN NAF USAF CORPS FLEET 8

Deployable Joint Task Force Augmentation Cell
Civil Affairs,SJA, Medical, Engineer Etc. DJTFAC N/G1/DP N/G2/IN N/G3/DO N/G4/LG N/G5/XP N/G6/SC Designated Headquarters Staff Organization THEREFORE, USING THE CURRENT UNIT STAFF AS THE CORE, USCINCPAC PROVIDES AUGMENTEES TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF THE MISSION TO ROUND OUT THE JTF HEADQUARTERS. AUGMENTEES COME FROM ALL STAFF AREAS IN USCINCPAC AND THE COMPONENT COMMANDS. AUGMENTEES PROVIDE THE NECESSARY EXPERTISE WHICH MAY NOT BE RESIDENT ON THE COMPONENT HEADQUARTERS STAFF. THE DJTFAC IS A TAILORED TEAM OF PERSONNEL. THEY ARE INITIALLY CRISIS ACTION PLANNING ORIENTED, THUS THE EMPHASIS IN THE J3 AND J5 AREAS. SPECIAL AREAS SUCH AS PSYOPS, CIVIL AFFAIRS, SJA, POL MIL AND OTHERS WHICH MAY NOT HAVE REPRESENTATIVES ON THE JTF STAFFS ARE BROUGHT BY THE DJTFAC. THE DJTFAC FALLS INTO THE HEADQUARTERS STAFF, PROVIDING THAT “JOINT FLAVOR” AND THE SPECIAL EXPERTISE IN JOINT MATTERS NECESSARY TO CREATE A JTF. IT BROADENS AND DEEPENS THE SINGLE SERVICE HEADQUARTERS. JTF

Contingency Response DJTFAC provides responsive joint staff expertise in crisis action planning DJTFAC members integrated fully within the joint task force (JTF) staff DJTFAC not intended to be separate from the JTF staff or a forward echelon of the HQ USCINCPAC/Service component staffs DJTFAC deploys in support of the HQ USCINCPAC designated JTF Deployment will normally occur after the HQ USCINCPAC activation and warning orders have been drafted and a JTF has been activated
11
DJTFAC VISION USCINCPAC’s Core of Experts: JTF Operations, Operational Art, JMETL, Joint Doctrine/SOP-TTP Goal is for the JTF Commander and Staff to View the DJTFAC as an Essential Part of the Task Force--to Actively Seek the DJTFAC JTF Experts--Think Joint Cite the Doctrine Know the Most Current References Know the Current/Emerging TTP Apply Joint concepts in the Operational Setting DJTFAC Team Members Join the JTF Staff Seamlessly Hard Working Staff Member, Teacher or Coach, Subject Matter Expert
12
DJTFAC VISION DJTFAC is not USCINCPAC Forward
We will not meet as the ‘DJTFAC’ Quiet & Professional Exchange of Information You are a Joint Expert, not a Service Expert Make Observations and Compile Lessons Learned Develop TTP, Cause Doctrine to Evolve

Training & Exercise Support

WE INTITIALLY START OFF WITH INTERNAL TRAINING DESIGNED TO RAMP UP BOTH THE DJTFAC AND THE SERVICE STAFFS. J38, USCINPAC, THEN SENDS OUT MOBILE TRAINING TEAMS TO THE VARIOUS JTF’S TO CONDUCT PRELIMINARY CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION, NORMALLY A TWO TO THREE PERSON TEAM FOLLOWING THIS INSTRUCTION, A FULL UP DJTFAC DEPLOYS TO THE JTF AND CONDUCTS A TEMPEST EXPRESS. I’LL DISCUSS THIS EXERCISE IN DETAIL ON THE NEXT SLIDE. FOLLOWING THIS EXERCISE WILL BE A PRACTICAL APPLICATION EXERCISE INTENDED TO CHALLENGE THE JTF THROUGHOUT THE FULL SPECTRUM OF JTF OPERATIONS THROUGHOUT THIS CYCLE THE DJTFAC CONDUCTS INTERNAL TRAINING TO ENSURE THAT THE LATEST DOCTRINE AND PROCEDURES ARE INCORPORATED.

USCINCPAC JTF Training Exercise: TEMPEST EXPRESS
Optimizes schoolhouse/operator linkage - Generally 5 days long - Doctrinal, procedural lessons learned briefs - JTF staff training practical CAP exercise - scenarios across contingency spectrum More in-depth instruction Training executed at JTF HQ home station Target audience: JTF staff (w/DJTFAC planners) and subsets of JTF component staffs
15
Sample Exercise Goals, Objectives, and Operational Tasks
Exercise JTF Commander and staff in common crisis action planning procedures while responding to a potential regional contingency. Exercise Objectives: Integrate the DJTFAC into JTF functional staff cells Develop staff understanding of Crisis Action Planning procedures Operational Tasks: OP Provide Current Intelligence for JOA OP Determine Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR)

ACADEMIC SESSIONS IN THE MORNING TEACH DOCTRINE AND TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE USED IN THE PRACTICAL EXERCISE SESSION IN THE AFTERNOON. THE SCENARIOS COME FROM ACROSS THE CONTINGENCY SPECTRUM AND ARE KEYED TO THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES OF THE JTF. THE TRAINING AUDIENCE IS THE JTF COMMANDER AND THE SENIOR STAFF. THE CONCEPT IS TO TEACH AND EXERCISE THE STAFF IN A LOW THREAT EXERCISE TO ALLOW THE STAFF TO DEVELOP AND LEARN JOINT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES. Education Process for JTF Staff
