Joint Publication 3-13, Information Operations - The Global ...

Chapter IV
4. Timely, tailored reporting to supported commanders, to include near real time
reporting of inadvertent disclosure of friendly critical information identified in the OPSEC process.
(i) Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE). JCSE is a rapidly
deployable, joint tactical communications unit under the OPCON of USJFCOM that provides
contingency and crisis communications to joint forces. JCSE is composed of Active and Reserve
Component forces and is equipped with a wide array of tactical and commercial communications
equipment. JCSE supports time-sensitive operations.
(2) Interagency Support. Non-DOD USG departments and agencies may have a role in
planning and executing IO. The expertise, programs, and activities of a wide variety of non-DOD USG
agencies should be considered as part of the IO plan when appropriate. Combatant commanders
establish staff procedures specific to their AOR for requesting interagency support and coordination of
various aspects of joint operations. For more discussion on interagency coordination, see JP 3-08,
Interagency, Intergovernmental Organization, and Nongovernmental Organization Coordination
During Joint Operations, Volume I. Normally combatant commanders work through designated
liaison representatives attached to their command. USSTRATCOM can assist joint commanders in
requesting interagency IO support when liaison representatives from specific organizations are not attached.
Planning coordination of IO as an integral part of planning joint operations is discussed in Chapter V,
“Planning and Coordination.” The following departments, agencies, and organizations are not all inclusive
but representative of possible interagency support and coordination required for IO.
(a) DOS. DOS will coordinate with foreign and intergovernmental organizations
that could be or are affected by the implementation of an IO plan. See Volume II of JP 3-08,
Interagency, Intergovernmental Organization, and Nongovernmental Organization Coordination
During Joint Operations.
(b) Other Representatives and Liaison Officers. The JFC should tailor the
composition of the cell as necessary to accomplish the mission. Other representatives could
include, for example, the non-DOD intelligence community. See Volume II of JP 3-08,
Interagency, Intergovernmental Organization, and Nongovernmental Organization Coordination
During Joint Operations.
(3) Multinational Support. Chapter VI, “Multinational Considerations in Information
Operations,” discusses multinational support of IO. See also AJP-3 for North Atlantic Treaty Organization
specific doctrine.
