Joint Task Force Considerations

This chapter describes the information and products for planning, coordination, and control of the spectrum at the joint task force level. Spectrum manager assignments within a joint task force include multiple organizations: joint frequency management office, joint spectrum management element (JSME), cyber electromagnetic activities element and the G‐6. These agencies have a wide variety of inputs, collaboration, and products. The JSME is a temporary organization that activates only for the duration of a specific joint task force mission. The JSME has a primary function to ensure authorized assigned joint task force military forces receive sufficient use of the spectrum to execute their designated missions. Army Defense Support of Civil Authorities encompasses all support provided by the components of the Army to civil authorities within the U.S. and its possessions and territories.
