Title 10 U.S.C.: Force Deployment Authorities

• Assignment: The President, through the UCP documents his direction for assigning forces for Unified Commands (Title 10 U.S.C., Sections 161, 162, and 167)

• Allocation: By the authority of the SecDef, forces assigned to a combatant command may be transferred or allocated to another combatant commander for employment…under procedures prescribed by the SecDef and approved by the President (Title 10 U.S.C., Section 162)

• Apportionment: The CJCS is responsible for preparing strategic plans including projected resource levels…the CJCS apportions forces to combatant commands based on the SecDef’s contingency planning guidance (Title 10 U.S.C., Section 153)

The three A’s of Global Force Management

UNCLASSIFED (U)


Global Force Management - What is it?

• Integrates processes of: – Force assignment

– Force apportionment (Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan)

– Force allocation (CJCS orders/GFMAP)

• Globally assesses force sourcing risk and addresses mitigation options

• Enables global sourcing with best force sourcing option, regardless of command or Service to which the force is assigned

• Keys to GFM execution:– Consolidated force allocation under Joint Force Providers

• USJFCOM for conventional forces

• USSOCOM for SOF

• USTRANSCOM for mobility forces

• USSTRATCOM for strategic/ISR forces (Joint Functional Manager)

– Quarterly Global Force Management Board – Joint Staff-hosted

• General Officer representation from all JFPs, COCOMs and Services

• Develop strategic-level GFM guidance for SecDef

Enables SecDef to make proactive, informed force management decisions

Rotational Force AllocationGlobal Force Management Board

• A flag officer-level body supported by the Joint Staff to provide senior DOD decision-makers the means to:

– Assess operational impacts of force management decisions– Recommend strategic planning guidance

• Roles / Responsibilities (codified in DJS memo, dated 2 Sep 2005):– DJS chairs– J3 plans, prepares and executes– J5 reviews strategic guidance, assumptions, recommendations– J8 supports operational assessment, analysis and wargaming

• Composition - flag officer or equivalent representation from:– OSD: Policy and P&R -- others as required– All Combatant commands– Joint Staff – Services

• Convenes quarterly to address specific recurring tasks, as required to address emergent issues

– Q1: Review rotational schedule for changes; review and approve COCOM rotational planning guidance (Product: Rotational Forces Request PLANORD)

– Q2: Review and approve JFP sourcing guidance (Product: JFP PLANORD)– Q3: Review and prioritize requests (Product: CCDR submissions sent to JFPs)– Q4: Review and recommend JFP sourcing solutions; risk and mitigation options

(Product: Annual GFM Allocation Plan)• GFM Board output vetted by a CJCS Tank as required

UNCLASSIFED (U)


Emergent Force AllocationRequest For Forces (RFF) Requirements

• Request from a COCOM or Force Provider for units or capabilities to address emergent (un-forecasted) requirements within their AOR that cannot be met by the requesting headquarters or its components, or the COCOM’s assigned or allocated forces

– Unit/capability is not resident in the existing assigned forces

– Unit/capability is not available due to current commitments

• An RFF is not the proper vehicle to source exercises (JTIMS), individual requirements (JMD) or equipment-only requirements (service or JUONS)

• RFF / RFC timelines, RFF to LAD:

– Non-urgent: 120 days prior

– Urgent (emergent): Within 120 days

– Immediate: Within next 30 days

UNCLASSIFED (U)


Emergent Force Allocation RFF Validation

For validation, an RFF must have: (must make operational sense)• Regional JOD provides operational validation with JOD-GFM support• Unit capability; description suitable for ILO sourcing if applicable• Unit quantity• Destination • Earliest arrival date (EAD); Latest arrival date (LAD)• Deployment Duration – service rotations authorized?• Mission Justification

– Why the capability is required– Operational risk if not sourced– Mitigation measures available to reduce that risk

• Similar capabilities in AOR - number and justification of why they cannot be used

• Identify additional or replacement– Detailed justification for the requested force– If additional, what has changed in the AOR (enemy situation, mission, environment,

etc)• Justification for continuation of requirement for replacement forces

– Why is this capability still needed and can a smaller force be substituted• Training requirements• Command and control relationships

Broad Summary of DEPORD Guidelines

• Only SecDef has authority to transfer forces and change command relationships, including temporary changes in OPCON, TACON, or support authorities between combatant commanders … DEPORD is the most common vehicle

• DEPORDs normally deploy additional forces, parts of units, individual personnel and equipment -- not force augmentation, unit replacement, resupply, sustainment or non-unit related pers/equip.

• Not all movements require a DEPORD – Exercises

– Temporary duty of short duration that is not operational

– Service training

• Some movements specifically require a DEPORD– Special operations

– Counterdrug

• A separate, expedited orders process is used for Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)

Notes1. In the case of NATO requirements, SACEUR releases a Consolidated

Joint Statement of Requirements (CJSOR) in lieu of an RFF/RFC2. For NATO requirements, NATO holds a Force Generation Conference

in lieu of a Sourcing Conference3. For NATO requirements, SecDef releases a Force Prep Message in

lieu of an EXORD, DEPORD or Schedule4. GFMB participation depends on the scope of the issue – GFMB only

addresses strategically significant issues. If GFMB review is not warranted, AO and/or flag-officer SVTCs will review. Sourcing conferences used for large-package requirements (e.g., OIF rotations). Some actions will not require GFMB or SVTC review.

5. OSD staffing typically includes OSD(P) and DOD(GC) for all actions, ASD(SOLIC) for Special Operations, USD(I) for ISR, and OSD(P&R) for RC issues

Global Force Management Board• Periodic GFMB’s: Tied to Fiscal Year quarters - adjust dates within the quarter as required

– Rotational force allocation plan (produced by JS) approves requirements, designates force provider(s), and provides SecDef authority to deploy forces / change COCOM

– Rotational force schedule (produced by JFP) designates “named” units that will deploy

DATES JAN – MAR APR - JUN JUL - SEP OCT - DEC

Task & Purpose

Review and approve:- Sourcing guidance, assumptions and prioritization for JFPs to use in sourcing

Validate CCDR requirements for next three fiscal years (execution year, FY+1 and planning years, FY+2 and FY+3) and approve: - Sourcing solution development of CCDR requests for rotational forces Establish guidance to JFPs for capturing persistent shortfalls data

Review / endorse - JFP developed force sourcing recommendations- Associated risk / mitigation options required to gain SecDef approval to deploy forces

Review and approve:- Rotational force schedule for any identified changes.- Force Provider LS/HD asset nominations- Rotational Force strategic guidance and assumptions for combatant command use in developing next round of rotational force requirements- Persistent Shortfalls assessment

Input(s) Prior to GFMB

-OSD-provided force allocation prioritization & guidance

CCDR requests for rotational forces or capabilities)

-JFP developed sourcing recommendations -JFP provided initial persistent shortfalls data

Combatant command or force provider identified changes to the allocation plan- Force Provider nominated LS/HD assets.

Output(s) after GFMB

- CJCS PLANORD outlining JFP roles, responsibilities, and guidance in support of sourcing rotational force allocation requirements

Joint Staff message passing:- CCDR rotational force requests to designated JFPs for sourcing- Guidance to JFPs for capturing persistent shortfalls during sourcing

- SecDef approved FY allocation plan- GFMB validated persistent shortfalls list

- Approved changes to the rotational force allocation plan- CJCS PLANORD directing CCDR execution-level planning in support of rotational force allocation requirements- Anticipated persistent shortfalls for FY+1 that may require alternative sourcing solutions.
