Information Management
interface control officer/sector interface control officer for planning and executing tactical
data link (TDL) functions that cross regional or sector boundaries or impact the theater-wide
MTN. When a JTF is formed, there will be only one JICO per JTF, and the JICO normally
will be located in a C2 facility with connectivity to the primary TDLs (normally the joint air
operations center, if established). There may be Service component interface control officers
located at the joint information coordination center.
For a full discussion of the JICO, refer to JP 3-01, Countering Air and Missile Threats, and
CJCSM 3115.01, Joint Data Network (JDN) Operations, and CJCSM 6120.01, Joint Multi-
Tactical Data Link (TDL) Operating Procedures.
k. Component Information Management Officers. Each component commander
appoints an IMO as a primary point of contact for IM matters. The JTF and component
IMOs:
(1) Component IMOs have similar duties and rank requirements as the JTF IMO.
(2) Conduct liaison with the JTF IMO.
(3) Coordinate and assist personnel with training required to produce quality
information throughout the command.
l. JTF Information System User Responsibilities. Every user has inherent
responsibilities to acquire, assess, reason, question, correlate, and disseminate quality
information to other users. The JTF information and information system user responsibilities
are to:
(1) Handle all information as directed in the IMP.
(2) Ensure accuracy and relevance of information before further dissemination.
Clearly differentiate between original information and previously reported information to
avoid duplicative reporting.
(3) Properly control, classify, protect, and archive all information and information
systems for which they are responsible. This requires a clear understanding of approved
control measures for various classifications of information.
(4) Validate the authority to dispose of JTF information before destruction.
(5) Read and comply with the information requirements published in the JTF IMP.
4. Information Management Processes and Procedures (Process)
Central to the success of meeting the operational needs of the user is the JTF IMO, the
JIMB, and the joint IM cell. The IMO supports the chief of staff in the horizontal and
vertical integration of the command and its subordinates, primarily by integrating the
command’s key processes. It is not necessary or desired to document every single IMP
process, but to describe those processes critical to how the command operates. As such, the
