Chapter V
(15) Coordinate with other CCDRs, USG departments and agencies, and
organizations of other countries regarding matters that cross the boundaries of geographic
areas specified in the UCP and inform USG departments and agencies or organizations of
other countries in the AOR, as necessary, to prevent both duplication of effort and lack of
adequate control of operations in the delineated areas.
(16) Unless otherwise directed by SecDef, function as the US military single point
of contact and exercise directive authority over all elements of the command in relationships
with other CCMDs, DOD elements, US diplomatic missions, other USG departments and
agencies, and organizations of other countries in the AOR. Whenever a CCDR conducts
exercises, operations, or other activities with the military forces of nations in another
CCDR’s AOR, those exercises, operations, and activities and their attendant command
relationships will be mutually agreed to between the CCDRs.
(17) Determine those matters relating to the exercise of COCOM in which
subordinates must communicate with agencies external to the CCMD through the CCDR.
(18) Establish personnel policies to ensure proper and uniform standards of military
conduct.
(19) Submit recommendations through the CJCS to SecDef concerning the content
of guidance affecting the strategy and/or fielding of joint forces.
(20) Participate in the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution process as
specified in appropriate DOD issuances.
(21) Participate in the JSPS and the APEX system. CCDRs’ comments are critical
to ensuring that warfighting and peacetime operational concerns are emphasized in all
planning documents.
(22) Concur in the assignment (or recommendation for assignment) of officers as
commanders directly subordinate to the CCDR and to positions on the CCMD staff.
Suspend from duty and recommend reassignment, when appropriate, any subordinate officer
assigned to the CCMD.
(23) Convene general courts-martial in accordance with the UCMJ.
(24) In accordance with laws and national and DOD policies, establish plans,
policies, programs, priorities, and overall requirements for the C2, communications system,
and ISR activities of the command.
c. When directed in the UCP or otherwise authorized by SecDef, the commander of US
elements of a multinational command may exercise COCOM of those US forces assigned to
that command (e.g., United States Element, North American Aerospace Defense Command
[USELEMNORAD]).
d. Directive Authority for Logistics. CCDRs exercise directive authority for logistics
and may delegate directive authority for a common support capability to a subordinate JFC
