Planning and Execution Considerations
Multinational Force Land Component Commander
Notional Responsibilities
• Advise the multinational force commander (MNFC) on the proper employment of
forces made available for tasking.
• Develop the joint land operation plan/operation order in support of the MNFC’s
concept of operations and optimizing the operations of task-organized land forces.
The multinational force land component commander (MNFLCC) issues planning
guidance to all subordinate and supporting elements and analyzes proposed
courses of action. The intent is to concentrate combat power at critical times and
places to accomplish strategic, operational, and tactical goals.
• Direct the execution of land operations as specified by the MNFC, which includes
making timely adjustments to the tasking of forces and capabilities made available.
The MNFLCC coordinates changes with affected component commanders as
appropriate.
• Coordinate the planning and execution of joint land operations with the other
components and supporting agencies.
• Evaluate the results of land operations to include the effectiveness of interdiction
operations and forwarding these results to the MNFC to support the combat
assessment effort.
• Synchronize and integrate movement and maneuver, fires, and interdiction in
support of land operations.
• Designate the target priorities, effects, and timing for joint land operations.
•
Establish a personnel recovery (PR) coordination cell (PRCC) to coordinate all
component PR activities, including coordination with the joint personnel recovery
center (JPRC) and other component PRCCs. Be prepared to establish a JPRC if
directed or if designated as the joint force supported commander for PR.
• Provide mutual support to other components by conducting operations such as
suppression of enemy air defenses and suppression of threats to maritime
operations.
• Coordinate with other nations’ functional and Service components in support of
accomplishment of MNFC objectives.
• Provide an assistant or deputy to the area air defense commander for land-based
joint theater air and missile defense operations and coordination as determined by
the MNFC.
• Support the MNFC’s information operations (IO) by developing the IO requirements
that support land operations and synchronizing the land force IO assets when
directed, to include cyberspace requirements.
• Establish standing operating procedures and other directives based on MNFC
guidance.
• Provide inputs into the MNFC-approved joint operational area air defense plan
and the airspace control plan.
• Integrate the MNFLCC’s communications systems and resources into the theater’s
networked communications system architecture or common operational picture to
synchronize MNFLCC’s critical voice and data requirements. These
communications systems requirements, coordination issues, and capabilities
should be considered in the joint planning and execution process.
