Chapter I define each function, and some apply to more than one joint function. Balancing their complementary but competing processes and capabilities is central to leadership and command of joint operations. c. The commander must exercise all the joint functions to effectively operate the force and generate combat power. Inadequate integration and balancing of these functions can undermine the cohesion, effectiveness, and adaptability of the force. For example, inattention to protection can deplete combat power unnecessarily, thereby undermining reserves and degrading the force’s ability to capitalize on an opportunity or respond to an unforeseen problem. Likewise, inattention to intelligence can leave the force with inadequate information to support decision making or identify opportunities in time to exploit them. Each of the joint functions is discussed below. (1) Command and control encompasses the exercise of authority, responsibility, and direction by a commander over assigned and attached forces to accomplish the mission. Command at all levels is the art of motivating and directing people and organizations into action to accomplish missions. Control is inherent in command. To control is to manage and direct forces and functions consistent with a commander’s command authority. Control of forces and functions helps commanders and staffs compute requirements, allocate means, and integrate efforts. Mission command is the preferred method of exercising C2. A complete discussion of tenets, organization, and processes for effective C2 is provided in Section B, “Command and Control of Joint Forces,” of Chapter V “Joint Command and Control.” (2) Intelligence helps commanders and staffs understand the operational environment and achieve information superiority. Intelligence identifies enemy capabilities and vulnerabilities, projects probable intentions and actions, and is a critical aspect of the joint planning process and execution of operations. It provides assessments that help the commander decide which forces to deploy; when, how, and where to deploy them; and how to employ them in a manner that accomplishes the mission. (3) Fires. To employ fires is to use available weapons and other systems to create a specific lethal or nonlethal effect on a target. Joint fires are those delivered during the employment of forces from two or more components in coordinated action to produce desired results in support of a common objective. Fires typically produce destructive effects, but some ways and means, such as electronic attack and other nonlethal capabilities, can be employed with little or no associated physical destruction. (4) Movement and maneuver encompasses the disposition of joint forces to conduct operations by securing positional advantages before or during execution. This function includes moving or deploying forces into an operational area and maneuvering them within the timeline and to the operational depth necessary to achieve objectives. It uses organic and supporting means and methods that allow a commander to choose where and when to engage an adversary or take best advantage of geographic and environmental conditions. (5) The protection function focuses on conserving the joint force’s fighting potential through active defensive measures that protect the joint force from an adversary’s I-18 JP 1
Theory and Foundations attack; passive defensive measures that make friendly forces, systems, and facilities difficult to locate, strike, and destroy; technology and procedures that reduce the risk of fratricide; and emergency management and response to reduce the loss of personnel and capabilities due to accidents, health threats, and natural disasters. When directed, the JFC’s mission for protection may extend beyond force protection to encompass protection of US civilians; the forces, systems, and civil infrastructure of friendly nations; and our interorganizational partners. (6) Sustainment is the provision of logistics and personnel services necessary to maintain and prolong operations until mission accomplishment. Sustainment provides the JFC flexibility, endurance, and the ability to extend operational reach. Effective sustainment determines the depth to which the joint force can conduct decisive operations, allowing the JFC to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative. d. Joint functions should be balanced and integrated with due consideration of competing resources, multiple versus single support capabilities, shifting operational priorities, and differences among Service component practices. For a more detailed discussion of joint functions, refer to JP 3-0, Joint Operations. 12. Joint Operation Planning a. Joint operation planning is the way the military links and transforms national strategic objectives into tactical actions. It ties the military instrument of national power to the achievement of national security goals and objectives and is essential in promoting and securing desired global strategic end states during peacetime and war. Planning begins with the end state in mind, providing a unifying purpose around which actions and resources are focused. b. Joint operation planning provides a common basis for discussion, understanding, and change for the joint force, its subordinate and higher headquarters, the joint planning and execution community (JPEC), and the national leadership. In accordance with the Guidance for Employment of the Force (GEF), adaptive planning supports the transition of DOD planning from a contingency-centric approach to a strategy-centric approach. The Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX) system facilitates iterative dialogue and collaborative planning between the multiple echelons of command. The APEX system ensures that the military instrument of national power is employed in accordance with national priorities and policy. It also guarantees the plans are rapidly updated and adapted as the situation requires according to changes in policy, strategic guidance, resources, and/or the operational environment. Joint operation planning also identifies capabilities outside of DOD required for accomplishment of strategic end states and objectives and provides a forum for interagency dialogue, coordination, and action. c. The pursuit and attainment of the US national strategic objectives in today’s complex environment requires critical and creative thinking about the challenges facing the joint force. Joint operation planning fosters understanding, allowing commanders and staff to clearly understand the operational environment and identify the problem(s) and problem I-19
