theater movement should provide the combatant commander the maximum possible control of the movement and concentration of forces and materiel, which will permit rapid response to changing situations as the campaign develops.

Supporting and subordinate commanders and supporting U.S. departments and agencies use the combatant commander’s strategic concepts of operation and tasks for subordinates as the basis for determining the necessary support for each phase of the campaign plan. Supporting and subordinate commanders respond to the identified tasks by preparing supporting plans and submitting them for approval to the supported combatant commander.

Considerations

The following are considerations for developing supporting plans:

•The combatant commander identifies space and intelligence support requirements for the campaign through the development or revalidation of a supporting space and/or intelligence plan. This plan will identify requirements for national-level support from DOD intelligence agencies, NRO, NIMA, SPACECOM, and the military Services.

•Through the development of a mobility plan and a civil engineering support plan, the combatant commander identifies engineer requirements for strategic and operational mobility, construction, and real estate for the campaign. These plans will identify requirements for national-level support from non-DOD government agencies and the Services.

•Strategic Command and Special Operations Command may prepare supporting plans for the employment of unique forces from their commands in support of a theater campaign plan.

•Functional supporting major operations plans. JP 3-30 describes the Joint Air Operations Plan (JAOP) as the functional plan required to be prepared by the JFACC. Similarly, NDP 5 refers to a Naval Operations Plan to be prepared by a Naval Component Commander. By analogy, the JFLCC and the JFSOCC should prepare Joint Land Operations Plans and Joint Special Operations Plans respectively.

Navy Composite Warfare Commander (CWC) Concept

During the Cold War because of the complexities of command and control in modern naval warfare, the Navy developed the "Composite Warfare Commander" concept within a task organization. Today, the Joint Force Commander has assumed a number of the functions of the CWC. However, the concept is still used, in particular for self-defense.

Under the CWC architecture, the Officer in Tactical Command (OTC) delegates command authority in particular warfare areas to subordinate commanders within his organization. He may even delegate overall coordination of defensive warfare areas to a CWC, although this is very rare. Thus, the terms CWC and OTC are usually interchangeable. Subordinate to the CWC are principal warfare commanders - the air warfare commander (AWC), strike warfare commander (STWC), surface warfare commander (SEWC), space and electronic warfare commander (SEWC), undersea warfare commander (USWC), amphibious warfare commander(AMWC), and mine warfare commander (MIWC). The OTC can retain direct command in any one (or more) warfare area(s) if desired.

The warfare commanders are responsible for collecting, evaluating, and disseminating tactical information and, at the discretion of the CWC, are delegated authority to respond to threats with assigned forces. If the warfare commanders are delegated authority to respond to threats in accordance with the rules-of-engagement (ROE), the CWC can still exercise control via "command by negation."

Supporting the CWC and the warfare commanders are the submarine element coordinator (SEC), a cell of the ASWC staff, who, when assigned, is responsible for coordinating the actions

of support submarines; the screen coordinator (SC) responsible to the USWC, SUWC, AWC, AMWC, and MIWC for coordinating ships in the screen; the air element coordinator (AREC), who is responsible for managing and coordinating the distribution of aircraft and keeping the CWC and other warfare commanders and coordinators apprised of air operations; and the LAMPS element coordinator (LEC) who performs a similar function as the AREC for LAMPS helicopters. The supporting coordinators differ from the warfare commanders in one very important respect. When authorized by the CWC, the warfare commanders have tactical control of resources assigned and may autonomously initiate action. The supporting coordinators execute policy, but do not initiate autonomous actions.
