The JFC establishes air and missile defense (AMD) priorities, allocates forces, and apportions air power. The JFC typically assigns overall responsibility for counter-air and interdiction missions to the joint force air component commander (JFACC). Normally, the JFACC also serves as both the area air defense commander (AADC) and the airspace control authority. The AADC is responsible for defensive counter-air operations. The AADC coordinates with joint and multinational partners to develop procedures for the theater air defense plan. The AAMDC supports the AADC for AMD throughout the AO.

State and federal Army leaders apply doctrinal principles that will ensure all Army forces achieve unity of effort when state military and federal military units are partners in a response. Army units supporting civil authorities are likely to serve alongside military partners under different chains of command. The particular duty status of a unit (the legal standing of the organization) determines its chain of command and in some cases the missions it may undertake in the homeland. Depending on their status, units may be described as federal forces or state forces. However, the inclusion of National Guard units within either category varies.

Generally, the responsibility for providing for the needs of the civilian population rests with the host-nation government or designated civil authorities, agencies, and organizations. +Army forces perform minimum-essential stability tasks to provide security, food, water, shelter, and medical treatment when there is no legitimate civil authority present. Commanders assess available resources against their missions to determine how best to conduct these minimum essential stability tasks and what risks must be accepted. (See ADRP 3-07 for additional information on minimal essential stability tasks.)

The commander’s fire support systems tend to focus on suppression missions to disrupt enemy forces as they are encountered and smoke missions to obscure or screen exposed friendly forces when conducting a movement to contact. The commander schedules the movements of fire support systems in synchronization with the movement of the rest of the force. Fire support systems that cannot match the cross-country mobility of ground maneuver units cause them to slow their rate of advance. In this case, if ground maneuver units do not slow down, they run the risk of outrunning their fire support. The commander synchronizes the employment of CAS to prevent the enemy from regaining balance while the commander’s ground fire support assets are repositioning. The main body updates its priority target list during a movement to contact.

Commanders and staffs consider operational reach to ensure Army forces accomplish their missions before culminating. Commanders continually strive to extend operational reach. They assess friendly and enemy force status and civil considerations, anticipate culmination, consolidate gains, and plan operational pauses if necessary. The use of basing can sustain operational reach in time and space.

Commanders exercise leadership to unify the elements of combat power and ensure effective interorganizational coordination during DSCA missions. They understand the respective roles and capabilities of civil authorities and other partners. They keep in mind that Army forces conduct operations in the homeland as supporting partners. They synchronize military actions with civilian partners to achieve unity of effort through unified action. Command leadership provides purpose, direction, and motivation to Soldiers while operating to accomplish DSCA purposes and missions.

Commanders require intelligence about the threat and other aspects of the operational environment before and during operations to effectively accomplish their missions. Intelligence assists commanders in visualizing the operational environment, organizing their forces, and controlling operations to achieve their objectives by answering specific requirements focused in time and space. These intelligence products enable commanders to make decisions based on all available information, identify and assess potential COAs, plan operations, properly direct their forces, and employ ethical, effective, and efficient tactics and techniques. Additionally, intelligence supports protection by alerting commanders to threats and assisting in preserving and protecting the force.

The command and control warfighting function tasks focus on integrating the activities of the other elements of combat power to accomplish missions. Commanders, assisted by their staffs, integrate numerous processes and activities within their headquarters and across the force through the command and control warfighting function. These tasks are—

The guides to effective control govern how commanders use the elements of control to accomplish missions. Effective control enables a command to adapt to change. Because of feedback, control is cyclic and continuous, not a series of discrete actions. It is a process of dynamic, interactive cooperation. Control begins in planning and continues throughout the operations process. The guides to effective control are—

A BCT commander can task-organize subordinate maneuver battalions with other maneuver and functional and multifunctional support companies to form task forces for special missions. A battalion task force is a maneuver battalion-size unit consisting of a battalion headquarters, at least one assigned company-size element, and at least one attached company-size element from another maneuver or support unit (functional or multifunctional). Task organization increases the capabilities of maneuver battalions. Field artillery battalions may control batteries of any kind from other field artillery battalions through an established support relationship. BCT commanders can reinforce engineer battalions with the same or different types of engineer companies and platoons to form engineer task forces.

Religious support in DSCA requires special attention from the command. Military ministry teams deploy during DSCA missions to provide religious support to authorized DOD personnel. In this context, authorized DOD personnel are defined as military members, their families, and other authorized DOD civilians (both assigned and contracted as determined by the joint force commander). Laws implementing the Establishment Clause of the Constitution of the United States generally prohibit chaplains from providing religious services to the civilian population. However, following certain rare and catastrophic events, local and state capabilities of all types (including spiritual care) could become overwhelmed. In these situations, unit ministry teams could serve as liaisons to nongovernmental organizations (including faith based organizations) when directed by the joint force commander. In addition, the primary supported agency, in coordination with local and state authorities, could request federal military chaplains to provide care and counseling or informational services to persons not affiliated with DOD. Commitment requires meeting four criteria known as the four prong test (see JG 1-05 for additional guidance):

An area of operations is an operational area defined by a commander for land and maritime forces that should be large enough to accomplish their missions and protect their forces (JP 3-0). For land operations, an area of operations includes subordinate areas of operations assigned by Army commanders to their subordinate echelons. In operations, commanders use control measures to assign responsibilities, coordinate fire and maneuver, and control combat operations. A control measure is a means of regulating forces or warfighting functions (ADP 6-0). One of the most important control measures is the assigned area of operations. The Army commander or joint force land component commander is the supported commander within an area of operations designated by the JFC for land operations. Within their areas of operations, commanders integrate and synchronize combat power. To facilitate this integration and synchronization, commanders designate targeting priorities, effects, and timing within their areas of operations. Responsibilities within an area of operations include—

An area of operations is an operational area defined by a commander for land and maritime forces that should be large enough to accomplish their missions and protect their forces (JP 3-0). For land operations, an area of operations includes subordinate areas of operations assigned by Service commanders as well. The purpose of an area of operations is to clearly delineate an area within which a specific commander has primary responsibility for integrating and synchronizing the warfighting functions, clearing all uses, and controlling all effects. A commander has the authority to designate targeting priority, effects, and timing of all activities within his or her assigned area of operations, except when higher headquarters imposes specific operational limitations.

Commanders, staffs, and subordinate units employ the operations process to integrate and synchronize the warfighting functions across multiple domains and synchronize forces to accomplish missions. This includes integrating numerous processes such as intelligence preparation of the battlefield, the military decision-making process, and the targeting process within the headquarters and with higher echelon, subordinate, supporting, and supported units. The unit’s battle rhythm integrates and synchronizes the various processes and activities that occur within the operations process.

Special operations forces execute a diverse set of missions across warfighting functions to produce scalable lethal and nonlethal effects, either in support of a combatant commander’s campaign plan or as part of a joint, Army, or other Service effort. Army special operations forces contribute to the fires warfighting function by providing unique contributions for understanding the OE, nominating and developing targets and recommending effects, and providing specific lethal and nonlethal capabilities such as psychological operations, civil affairs, or surgical strike capabilities to the supported commander.

The purpose of the warfighting functions is to provide an intellectual organization of common capabilities available to commanders and staffs to achieve objectives and accomplish missions. These capabilities serve as the building blocks to generate combat power. Said another way, combat power is the actual physical incarnation of all the capabilities available to the commander for the conduct of operations. Thus a warfighting function is an aggregation (a set) of capabilities used to produce results.

A defeat mechanism is a method through which friendly forces accomplish their missions against enemy opposition (ADRP 3-0). Commanders describe a defeat mechanism as the physical, temporal, or psychological effects it produces. Operational art formulates the most effective, efficient way to defeat enemy aims. Physically defeating an enemy deprives enemy forces of the ability to achieve those aims. Temporally defeating an enemy anticipates enemy reactions and counters them before they can become effective. Psychologically defeating an enemy deprives that enemy of the will to continue the conflict. The defeat mechanisms are—
