Joint Task Force-Capable Headquarters
new task can be created using the UJTL Task Development Tool and associated process.
JTF-capable HQ will then develop the necessary conditions and standards for their JMETs
using a variety of sources: the sample standards from the associated UJTL tasks, mission
guidance, and other relevant information. Regardless of the source, the commander
approving the JMETL establishes the associated standards.
(2) Readiness Criteria. CCDRs should promulgate JTF HQ readiness guidance
that identifies the criteria and process by which the supported CCDR, Service component
and designated Service HQ commanders prepare, mature, and verify the Designated Service
HQ’s readiness to perform the missions envisioned by the supported CCDR. Because
readiness is a holistic concept that the CCDR uses to assess JTF-capable HQ ability to
establish, organize and operate as a JTF HQ, the readiness criteria presented in Figure B-3
are recommended for inclusion in CCDR readiness guidance for JTF-capable HQ. A JTFcapable
HQ should be proficient in its approved JMETs, have the proposed organizational
structure and personnel requirements of the JTF HQ documented in a contingency JMD,
have required C2 systems and other key equipment readily on hand to the maximum extent
possible, continue individual and collective training to sustain staff proficiency, and
accurately report readiness to perform as a JTF HQ.
(3) Readiness Reporting. CJCSI 3401.02, Global Status of Resources and
Training System (GSORTS) (Limited Distribution), and Department of Defense Directive
(DODD) 7730.65, Department of Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS), with
subsequent serial guidance, designate readiness reporting requirements for DOD, including
Service HQ and JTF HQ. Designated Service HQ and JTF-capable HQ are considered
“measured units” and should report readiness against CCDR-approved JTF HQ missions in
accordance with DOD, CJCS, and CCDR promulgated readiness protocols. See Interim
Change 1 to CJCSM 3150.02, Global Status of Resources and Training System (GSORTS)
(Limited Distribution), for additional information concerning “measured units.” CCDRs
should review the periodic readiness reporting of designated Service HQ and JTF-capable
HQ and take action, if necessary, to correct or mitigate readiness shortfalls. When ordered to
conduct actual operations as a JTF HQ, the JTF-capable HQ commander will revalidate the
JMETL, JMD, JMEEL, and training status for the assigned mission(s) and commence
reporting readiness, per the governing instructions, every 30 days or when the JTF HQ
readiness status changes, whichever is sooner.
3. Resources
The Services are responsible for providing designated Service HQ with the capabilities
and resources necessary to operate as a JTF-capable HQ. CCDRs normally rely on
established programs to identify and address JTF HQ capability gaps and associated resource
constraints (specifically manpower and funding). The Capability Portfolio Management
procedures, as well as the JTF or functional component HQ Certification program element of
the CCDR’s Exercise Engagement and Training Transformation program, may be used to
gain senior leadership visibility on JTF HQ readiness issues.

and Training Transformation program, refer to DODD 7045.20, Capability Portfolio
