clothing and equipment requirements and mission-essential tasks to be trained prior to arrival
in theater.
(3) Balance and Regulate the Force Flow. The requested start dates on the
request for each individual force or capability must support the overall CONOPS. SecDef
approved ordered start dates also support the CONOPS while balancing operational
capabilities. To the maximum extent possible, the supported CCDRs should balance and
regulate the flow of forces with the flow of sustainment. OE, available infrastructure,
protection risk assessment, and the CONOPS are major factors in determining how to
balance the flow of forces and capabilities. The supported CCDR manages the flow of
forces via the TPFDD supported by strategic, operational, and tactical movement control
organizations, to ensure effective interfaces between intertheater and intratheater movements.
Balance is primarily a function of effective mission prioritization, alignment of forces, force
composition, and force flow. Consideration must also be given to planned theater
distribution (TD) and JRSOI requirements and capabilities. Force composition and
transportation flow must accommodate mission requirements, providing the supported
CCDR with the operational flexibility and freedom of action required for successful mission
execution.
c. Responsibilities of Supporting Combatant Commanders. Supporting missions
during deployment of the joint force could include the deployment or redeployment of
forces from or to a supporting CCMD, sponsorship of en route basing or in-transit staging
areas (SAs), or provision of sustainment from theater stocks. Regardless of the supporting
mission, the primary task for supporting CCMDs is to ensure that the supported CCDR
receives the timely and complete support needed to accomplish the mission. Supporting
CCDRs have five major deployment responsibilities: source, prepare, and verify forces;
ensure units retain their visibility and mobility; ensure units report movement requirements
rapidly and accurately; regulate the support flow; and coordinate.
(1) Source, Prepare, and Verify Forces. The GFMAP is a SecDef approved
consolidated allocation order, by fiscal year (FY) that authorizes the transfer and attachment
of forces from designated CCDRs, Services, and combat support agencies (CSAs) to
supported CCDRs or back following completion of mission requirements by the supported
CCDR. Annexes within the GFMAP contain all the information inherent within a written
order.
(2) GFMAP Annex Schedules. The GFMAP annexes published by the Joint Staff
also delegate authority and responsibility for designated JFPs to manage deployments per the
JFP authorities and to publish the JFP GFMAP annex schedule. The content of SecDef
approved annexes is the basis of the JFP GFMAP annex schedule.
(a) The JFP GFMAP annexes schedule units and individuals in support of the
approved force requirements and serve as the DEPORDs.
1. The GFMAP provides SecDef direction to the JFPs, working with all
force providers through their assigned Service component and CSA to identify specific
forces, units, and individuals for deployment in support of the GFMAP.
