(a) Joint Interagency Coordination Group (JIACG). When <strong>for</strong>med, a<br />
JIACG can provide <strong>the</strong> CCDR with an increased capability to collaborate with o<strong>the</strong>r USG<br />
civilian agencies and departments (see Figure II-4 <strong>for</strong> a notional JIACG structure). The<br />
JIACG, an element <strong>of</strong> a CCDR’s staff, is an interagency staff group that establishes and<br />
enhances regular, timely, and collaborative working relationships between o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
governmental agencies’ representatives (DOS, DHS, and o<strong>the</strong>rs) and military operational<br />
planners at <strong>the</strong> CCMDs. JIACGs complement <strong>the</strong> interagency coordination that occurs at <strong>the</strong><br />
national level through DOD and <strong>the</strong> NSC and HSC systems. JIACG members participate in<br />
deliberate and crisis action planning. They provide a conduit back to <strong>the</strong>ir parent<br />
organizations to help synchronize joint operations with <strong>the</strong> ef<strong>for</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> USG departments and<br />
agencies.<br />
(b) A contingency and planning focused subgroup <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> JIACG is <strong>the</strong><br />
interagency planning cell. The interagency planning cell can be organized or tailored to<br />
operate 24/7 to assist in and support interagency planning and/or coordination in crisis and/or<br />
contingency situations. During such situations, an interagency planning cell will enable a<br />
coherent, efficient, and responsive planning and coordination ef<strong>for</strong>t through focused or<br />
targeted participation by interagency subject matter experts and dedicated agency<br />
representatives. An interagency planning cell should be activated to support a CCMD’s<br />
campaign planning ef<strong>for</strong>ts, ensuring interagency issues are fully considered in mission<br />
analysis and COA development.<br />

Interorganizational Coordination During Joint Operations.<br />
(6) JTF Interagency Coordination<br />
(a) There are specific policies and procedures that guide JTF interagency<br />
coordination. The unique aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> interagency process require <strong>the</strong> JTF headquarters to<br />
be especially flexible, responsive, and cognizant <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> capabilities <strong>of</strong> not only <strong>the</strong> JTF’s<br />
components, but o<strong>the</strong>r agencies as well.<br />
(b) In contrast to <strong>the</strong> established command structure <strong>of</strong> a CCMD or JTF, NGOs<br />
and IGOs in <strong>the</strong> operational area may not have a defined structure <strong>for</strong> controlling activities.<br />
Upon identifying organizational or operational mismatches between organizations, <strong>the</strong> staff<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCMD or JTF should coordinate points in <strong>the</strong> NGOs and IGOs at which liaison and<br />
coordinating mechanisms are appropriate.<br />
(c) The civil-military operations center (CMOC) is composed <strong>of</strong><br />
representatives from military, civilian, US, and multinational agencies involved in <strong>the</strong><br />
operation (see Figure II-5). An effective CMOC contributes to meeting <strong>the</strong> objectives <strong>of</strong> all<br />
represented agencies in a cooperative and efficient manner. To best coordinate and<br />
collaborate military and civilian operations, <strong>the</strong> JTF should carefully consider where to<br />
locate <strong>the</strong> CMOC (i.e., proximity to <strong>the</strong> JTF command center).<br />
For more in<strong>for</strong>mation on <strong>the</strong> CMOC, see <strong>JP</strong> 3-08, Interorganizational Coordination During<br />
Joint Operations, and <strong>JP</strong> 3-57, Civil-Military Operations.<br />
