Chapter VII
addition, functional LNOs provide information and expertise to the current operations
section and in the case of component LNOs represent their respective commander’s interests
at the JTF level.
(b) The JOC IM element support includes:
1. Request for forces (RFF) and RFI management and processing.
2. Display of JOC information to include CCIRs, execution and
synchronization matrixes, and significant events displays.
3. CTP display management.
4. Compilation and presentation of briefings.
5. Transmission, receipt, and tracking of message traffic.
(6) Joint Data Network Operations Cell. The JDNC is staffed to manage
friendly and adversary information, plus maintain and share a CTP. The JDNC is a taskorganized
team of experienced personnel that supports the joint data network (JDN)
operations. The term JDNC is presumed to be the CJTF’s JDNC, unless specifically
identified otherwise (i.e., JDNC equivalent). The JDNC should be trained and equipped to
support continuous operations and should consist of personnel knowledgeable in the
operations of participating components to optimize multi-Service experience and overcome
C2 system interoperability challenges.
(a) The JDNCs task is to plan the C2 architecture, maintain configuration
control, manage and integrate selected data provided by the various networks, execute the
cell’s operations, and develop a CTP that meets the JTF commander’s situational awareness
and decision-making requirements.
(b) The JDNC, as an element of the JTF J-3, manages the CTP to provide a
reliable, complete, and timely status of entities and events in the operational area to the JOC.
The JDNC continuously monitors the JDN and specifically supports the CJTF through
oversight of both horizontal and vertical integration of data.
For further information on the JDNC, refer to CJCSM 3150.01B, Joint Data Network
Operations.
f. Future Operations. The future operations staff is the core set of J-3 planners that
forms the nucleus of the planning teams focused on the near-term planning requirements.
Based on the complexity of the planning problem and the time available, future operations
planning teams interact with elements both internal to the staff (e.g., WGs, cells) and
external to the staff (other HQ and agencies). As the planning teams move through the
JOPP, they ultimately gain guidance, intent, or decision through designated decision
boards.
