“ ‘Multinational operations’ is a collective term to

describe military actions conducted by forces of two

or more nations. Such operations are usually undertaken within the

Command Relationships

OPCON• Perform functions of command:

Authoritative direction for all military operations & training Organize and employ commands and forces Assign tasks & designate objectives

• Establish plans/requirements for intelligence activity• Suspend/reassign subordinate commanders

TACON• Local direction and control of movements• Typical in Functional Command structure• Does not include:

- Organizational authority- Administrative and logistics support

Combatant Command (COCOM)

• COCOM is the national chain of command at the theater strategic level. It is the authority to organize and employ a nation’s forces. It is never relinquished to a commander of another nation.

• Authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training, and logistics necessary for mission accomplishment

Command Relationships

“... there should be no mistaking the fact that the greatest obstacles to unity of command during UNOSOM II were imposed by the United States on itself . . . command arrangements had effectively created a condition that allowed no one to set clear, unambiguous priorities in designing and executing a comprehensive force package.”

MNF / CTF Employment For a contingency operation, a Lead Nation and theater

strategic commander (designated as the ‘Supported Strategic Commander’) will be nominated to lead the operation on behalf of the multinational partners, and a contingency coalition / combined task force (CTF) will be established to conduct military operations. The CTF is formed for a specific limited objective and dissolved upon achieving its assigned objectives.

MNF Chain of Command:– NCA (lead nation) Supported Strategic Cmdr (CINC) CCTF

Principles of MultinationalUnity of Effort

COMMON UNDERSTANDING

All forces should understand the overall aim and the concept for its

attainment. Simplicity of plan and organization are essential

COORDINATED POLICY AND PLANSNations should exchange qualified liaison officers at the earliest

opportunity to improve interoperability and mutual understanding

TRUST AND CONFIDENCECommanders and their representatives must establish and

maintain trust and confidence. Plain, objective communicationand common courtesy are essential.

~~ Unified Action in Multinational Operations ~~Coordination and Consensus are key elements for MNF operations

Unity of Command is desired -- Unity of Effort is required

Lesson Learned:Clearly define command relationships between components - especially “supported” and supporting relationships.

Summary:Lessons Learned - Forming

Lesson Learned:Augmentation “cells” from the CINC clearly provide a “jump start” to the processes of forming and planning during a crisis.

Lesson Learned:Keep the number of cells/boards/agencies/centers to a minimum, but if the function is required, forming them is usually beneficial.

Lessons Learned - Planning

Lesson Learned:“Master the mechanics & techniques; understand the art and profession; and be smart enough to know when to deviate from it.” GEN Zinni, CINCCENT

Lesson Learned:“Leaders should use the military decision-making process to expedite or facilitate planning, but should not let it hinder their efforts to understand the complex issues that lay beneath the operation’s surface.” LTC D. Scalard, Military Review, 1998

Lessons Learned - Deploying

Lesson Learned:A CCTF should almost daily ask the following question: “What are we doing to ensure that CTF personnel & their equipment arrive at the PODs at approximately the same time?”

Lesson Learned:CCTFs must balance combat vs. support forces in the deployment process. When inadequate support forces are deployed, backlogs of personnel & equipment at the PODs will occur (I.e., adequate JRSOI is on-hand).

Lessons Learned - Employing

Deter… Fight to win...

Lesson Learned:A CCTF should always seek to gain & maintain the initiative -- this applies not only to conventional combat operations, but to the information domain as well.

Lesson Learned:There is no replacement for the application of overwhelming force at the proper time & place. Seek or create enemy weakness and attack it quickly, decisively, and relentlessly.

Lesson Learned:Keep your logisticians abreast of the operational situation -- only with full situational awareness can they anticipate future requirements as operations unfold.

Lesson Learned:Always maintain a reserve ready for immediate employment to reinforce success, capitalize on unanticipated opportunities, or to address unforseen exigencies.

Lessons Learned - Transition

Lesson Learned:Transition may occur between the CTF with a US command, with another military command (i.e. UN follow-on forces), with host nation forces, or to civilian control. Regardless, the command must prepare for and coordinate the transition to ensure an orderly change of authority and responsibility.

Lessons Learned - Redeploying

Lesson Learned:Redeployment is essentially the reverse of deployment. Redeployment can begin at any point during CTF operations and planning for it should begin as soon as possible.
