1. Host-Nation Support<br />

Use of HNS <strong>for</strong> US <strong>for</strong>ces will assist the<br />

combatant commander in accomplishing the<br />

mission while reducing the requirement <strong>for</strong><br />

US personnel, materiel, and services. HNS<br />

applies to military operations other than war<br />

and war, and to the peacetime operations<br />

support that contributes to the preparation <strong>for</strong><br />

war, and conduct of exercises. Except <strong>for</strong> rear<br />

area operations, combat operations are not<br />

conducted under HNS agreements.<br />

a. Procedures. The combatant commander<br />

will ensure that proper authority is obtained<br />

<strong>for</strong> negotiations with HN. The combatant<br />

commander and the Service component<br />

commanders will establish procedures <strong>for</strong> the<br />

following.<br />

• Determining specific combat support,<br />

combat service support, and rear<br />

operations requirements that can be met<br />

through the use of HN resources.<br />

• Assessing and identifying, in conjunction<br />

with the HN, which HN assets are<br />

available and what quantities can be<br />

provided.<br />

• Integrating support requirements into the<br />

overall command and control systems.<br />

• Designating points of contact at each<br />

required command level to coordinate<br />

activities related to HNS in peacetime,<br />

transition, and wartime.<br />

b. The Role of CA. CA assists and<br />

coordinates ef<strong>for</strong>ts to identify and acquire<br />

HNS. CA personnel in a friendly country aid<br />

civil-military cooperation by providing<br />

interface with local authorities or military<br />

HOST-NATION SUPPORT<br />

<strong>for</strong>ces. In peacetime, CA personnel conduct<br />

area studies and review HN agreements to<br />

assist in planning <strong>for</strong> the optimal use of HNS.<br />

Joint Pub 3-57, “Doctrine <strong>for</strong> Joint Civil<br />

Affairs,” provides doctrine <strong>for</strong> joint CA.<br />

c. HNS Planning Considerations<br />

• In a theater where <strong>for</strong>ces are in <strong>for</strong>warddeployed<br />

positions, the commander has<br />

extensive knowledge of HNS capabilities.<br />

The commander can analyze the mission<br />

and determine what functions and tasks<br />

can be per<strong>for</strong>med by HNS elements.<br />

• For contingency operations, the<br />

commander may have limited in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

regarding the availability of HNS.<br />

Hopefully, some degree of HNS may be<br />

expected.<br />

d. HNS Suitability Factors. Factors in<br />

determining the suitability of using HN<br />

resources to accomplish specific missions and<br />

functions include the following.<br />

• Capability, dependability, and willingness<br />

of the HN to provide and sustain<br />

identified resource needs.<br />

• Shortfalls in US <strong>for</strong>ce structure, as well<br />

as areas in which US <strong>for</strong>ce structure<br />

requirements could be reduced by using<br />

HNS resources.<br />

• Effect of HNS on the morale of US<br />

soldiers.<br />

• Operational security and reliability.<br />

• Capability of US <strong>for</strong>ces to accept and<br />

manage HNS resources.<br />
