enabling capability package. By design, this package is modular, scalable, and tailored to the
mission. It consists of Active Component and Reserve Component (RC) forces and includes
elements from one or more of the JECC’s subordinate commands.
(1) Joint Communications Support Element. JCSE provides rapid, reliable, and
interoperable communications that link the CJTF and staff to the President and SecDef,
GCCs, their component HQ, and multinational partners. JCSE tactical communication
packages vary in capability from small initial-entry and early-entry teams to a significantly
larger deployable joint C2 system. Packages can support operations worldwide as well as in
HD and DSCA missions.
(2) Joint Public Affairs Support Element. JPASE provides trained, equipped,
scalable, and expeditionary joint public affairs (PA) capability supporting worldwide
operational requirements. JPASE is an early-entry capability that enables the CJTF to gain
and maintain the initiative in the information environment. JPASE also provides joint PA
training to better enable JFCs and their staffs to successfully meet continuously evolving
information environment challenges in their respective operational areas.
(3) Joint Planning Support Element. The JPSE is composed of personnel who
are experienced in planning and executing joint operations. JPSE provides expertise in
operations, planning, logistics, intelligence, and knowledge sharing. Operations and plans
personnel can integrate into a joint force J-3 or J-5 staff or help form the core of a newly
forming operations or plans battle staff. Logistics personnel can integrate into the J-4 staff
and help integrate, coordinate, and implement joint logistics planning and operations in
various logistics and personnel areas. Intelligence specialists can integrate into the J-2 staff
and assist with various aspects of intelligence support to help the joint force effectively
neutralize enemy forces. Knowledge sharing specialists can integrate into the J-3 staff to
collect, process, and share information and create an environment of shared understanding.
d. Joint Individual Augmentation (JIA). Individual augmentation is an important
mechanism for providing personnel to a JTF HQ. JIA requirements are identified by the HQ
designated to be the JTF or the establishing authority (usually a CCDR) and documented in a
joint manning document (JMD). JIA requirements are then sourced in accordance with
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 1301.01, Joint Individual
Augmentation Procedures, and the Global Force Management process. The JMD is
validated by the establishing authority and submitted to the Joint Staff J-1 for individual
augmentation sourcing solution development. In multinational operations, partner nations
also may provide JTF HQ individual augmentation beyond liaison requirements. The
designated HQ should identify individual augmentation requirements as early as possible
when forming the JTF HQ due to the extended time that may be required to source, process,
and deploy individual augmentees, especially those with special technical or language skills.
For more details concerning JIAs, refer to CJCSI 1301.01, Joint Individual Augmentation
Procedures, JP 1-0, Joint Personnel Support, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Manual (CJCSM) 3120, Global Force Management Allocation Planning, Policies, and
Procedures.
