Publisher's Synopsis
Joint land operations include any type of joint military operations, singly or in combination, performed across the range of military operations with joint land forces (Army, Marine, or special operations) made available by Service components in support of the joint force commander's (JFC's) operation or campaign objectives, or in support of other components of the joint force. Joint land operations include land control operations. Such operations are conducted to establish local military superiority in land operational areas. If the JFC does not choose to retain control at the JFC level, there are four primary options available to the JFC for employing land forces from two or more components: Subordinate unified command for land operations (available only to a combatant commander). Subordinate joint task forces. Service components. Functional land component with joint force land component commander (JFLCC).
