OCEANOGRAPHIC (METOC) SUPPORT OPERATIONS<br />
ELEMENT: J2/J3/METOC Officer (JMO) (Relates to UJTL Task OP 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5)<br />
MTG TASK SITUATION: The JTF has<br />
been assigned a mission from the CINC.<br />
A <strong>Joint</strong> Planning Group has been<br />
assembled <strong>and</strong> the planning of an<br />
operation is beginning. The <strong>Joint</strong> Task<br />

MTG TASK PURPOSE: To provide meteorological <strong>and</strong><br />
oceanographic (METOC) input into a JTF’s planning effort.<br />
METOC incorporates all facets of meteorological,<br />
oceanographic, <strong>and</strong> space environmental phenomena from the<br />
bottom of the earth’s oceans to the space environment. The<br />
JTF use of Service component METOC assets, as well as<br />
Service-unique assets that support the components, must<br />
enhance joint planning <strong>and</strong> execution of operations.<br />
Climatology, real-time data, <strong>and</strong> accurate forecasts are<br />
considered in a manner that supports the campaign or major<br />
operation <strong>and</strong> prepares the JTF to exploit environmental<br />
windows of opportunity. The structure of this input is the<br />
same as the overall planning processes described in this MTG.<br />
