  1. The Joint Task Force Inspector General

  2. Enabling Learning Objectives 1. Describe a Joint Task Force. 2. Describe the reasons for creating a Joint Task Force. 3. Describe the immediate Joint Task Force transition considerations for an Army IG office.

  3. References • Joint Publication 3-0, Joint Operations • Joint Publication 3-33, Joint Task Force Headquarters • DoD Directive 5106.04, Defense Inspectors General • DoD Manual 5106.06, Joint Inspectors General Manual • Army Regulation 20-1, Chapter 9

  4. Joint and Expeditionary Mindset • Current overseas contingency operations demand that the Army be an expeditionary force ready to deploy quickly anywhere in the world and fight as part of a Joint team. • ModularArmy brigade combat teams will likely be employed as part of Joint Task Forces (JTFs) within Combatant Commands. • IGs must stand prepared to adapt to a Joint environment on little or no notice. • Leaders must prepare for a campaign-quality Army with a Joint and Expeditionary mindset!

  5. Joint Task Force (JTF) What is a JTF? ELO 1 • A JTF is a joint force constituted and so designated by the Secretary of Defense, a Combatant Commander, a Sub-Unified Commander, or an existing JTF. • Joint for U.S. forces means multiple U.S. military departments organized to perform a particular operational mission. • A Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) would include multi-service elements of two or more nations. DoD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms

  6. Joint Task Force (JTF) Why form a JTF? ELO 2 • A contingency operation arises that may include a wide variety of military operations. • The Combatant Commander (CCDR) assigns the mission for – and activates – a JTF for this contingency operation (Crisis-Action Planning). • The CCDR: • Appoints the JTF Commander • Assigns the mission (normally an operational objective) • Operations may involve ground, maritime, air, and special operations forces in any combination working unilaterally or in cooperation with other nations. JP 3-0, Chapter VII / JP 3-33, Chapter 1

  7. Basic JTF Structure Established on a geographical area or functional basis JTF Commander • Three Types: • Operational • Contingency • Standing Functional Components (optional) JTFs (Area or Functional) (optional) Service Components and / or Forces Attachments (optional) Note: A naval force consisting of Navy and USMC forces does not constitute a JTF. Joint Civil-Military Task Force JP 3-33, Figure I-2, page I-4

  8. Some Recent JTFs • CJTF 7 – Initially built around the U.S. Army’s V Corps and headquartered in Baghdad, Iraq (later Multi-National Corps – Iraq) • CJTF 76 – Initially designated as CJTF-180 and headquartered at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan (later CJTF-82 or CJTF-101) • CJTF-OIR (Operation Inherent Resolve) – Established in 2014 to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria and to set conditions for follow-on operations • JTF Katrina – Established by Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) to assist with hurricane disaster relief • JTF GTMO – Headquartered at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

  9. Echelon of Command Combatant Commands • JTFs are routinely organized to serve under a Combatant Command (CCMD). • Combatant Commands are unified (multi-service) commands with a broad, continuing mission and that have geographic or functional responsibilities. • Combatant Commands serve under a single commander whom the President designates with advice from the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

  10. Echelon of Command Combatant Commands (continued) • 11 Combatant Commands currently exist. • U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) • U.S. European Command (EUCOM) • U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) • U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) • U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) • U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) • U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM) • U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) • U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) • U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) • U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM)

  11. Echelon of Command Combatant Commands (continued) • Three examples of a Combatant Command’s focus are as follows: • Central Command (CENTCOM) – focused geographically on Southwest Asia and portions of Africa • Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) – focused geographically on Central and South America and the Caribbean • Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) – focused functionallyon coordinating transportation assets to project and sustain forces

  12. JTFs, CCMDs, and the IG • Current Joint doctrine addresses the IG in the JTF headquarters from an operational perspective (Joint Publication 3-33). • Joint IG policy is focused on Defense IGs (DoD Directive 5106.04). • Doctrine in the form of Joint IG procedures for Inspections, Assistance, Investigations, and Intelligence Oversight exists in DoD-approved guides and the new manual (DoDM 5106.06). DoD IG is the proponent for the Joint IG System

  13. DoD Manual 5106.06 • This manual provides specific policy and procedural guidance for all Joint IGs and will eventually supplant the guides. • The manual addresses in detail many policy-related topics not addressed in detail in DoDD 5106.04. • Responsibilities • Management and assignment of Joint IGs • Qualifications for Joint IGs • Conflicts of interest and integrity • Joint IG Action Process • Joint IG Inspections Process • Joint IG Investigations Process • Joint IG records protection

  14. General Functions of a Joint IG • Inspections • Investigations • Assistance • Teaching and Training • Intelligence oversight • Audits

  15. Joint IG Doctrinal Guides Developed by the Service IGs and DoD IG • The Joint IG Concept and System Guide • The Joint IG Inspections Guide • The Joint IG Investigations Guide • The Joint IG Assistance Guide Joint Publication 3-33, Annex E to Appendix A provides minimal guidance for JTF IGs

  16. The JTF IG Immediate Transition Considerations ELO 3 • AR 20-1 does not apply in a Joint environment. Follow the Joint IG system. • Subordinate commands from other services are not requiredto have an OIP in accordance with AR 1-201. • Define command and IG reporting lines and procedures with the Combatant Command and JTF commanders. • Establish connectivity with subordinate command IGs and the Combatant Command IG as soon as possible. Army Regulation 20-1, paragraph 9-3 b

  17. What Combatant Command IG What can you expect? • Normally staffed with a Colonel or Navy Captain (O-6) and three to seven other IGs. • Combatant Command IG shops tend to serve as referral nodes for passing issues to the respective service IGs for resolution. • The Joint Staff IG decides which issue is referred to which service if a question arises.

  18. Other IGs in the Joint World Develop Good Joint IG Technical Channels! • Army Service Component Command IGs • IGs in other Joint Task Forces • Joint Staff IG • Other CCMD IGs • DoD IG

  19. Service IG Differences IG Systems Differ by Service Culture • Keys to success as a Joint IG today: • Know and understand current Joint IG policy • Know and understand current Joint IG doctrinal procedures • Know the differences in each Service’s IG system • Know each Service's reporting requirements for allegations • Navy, Marine, and Air Force IG products are routinely used for adverse action. • Most Navy, Marine, and Air Force IG inspections are general in nature and mostly compliance-oriented. • Defense Case Activity Tracking System (D-CATSe) -- coming soon! • Note: The Joint IG System does not apply to Joint Bases and Joint Force Headquarters in the States.

  20. Joint IG Course DoD IG, Mark Center, Alexandria, Virginia • Class schedule: • Normal class rhythm: February,April, August, and October plus MTTs • DoD IG is the proponent and conducts the course at the Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia (just off of Interstate 395) • Primary student focus is JTF, CCMD, and other Joint IGs • Registration: JointIGRegistrar@dodig.mil • Joint IG School Web site: https://www.dodig.mil/Programs/DoD-Joint-Inspector-General-Program/JIGP-Course-2/ • Program Manager: Mr. Marvin McFarland (marvin.mcfarland@dodig.mil)

  21. Summary 1. A Joint Task Force is a joint force constituted by the Secretary of Defense, a Combatant Commander, a Sub-Unified Commander, or an existing Joint Task Force. 2. Contingency operations drive the creation of Joint Task Forces. 3. Immediate transition considerations for an Army IG office that becomes a JTF IG office includedefining command and IG reporting lines and establishing connectivity with subordinate command IGs and the Combatant Command IG.

  22. Proposed JTF IG Structure CJTF-7 (Spring 2004) 9x IGs: 6x III Corps 2x USMC 1x USAF (Automation) Deputy IG Operations Investigations Branch Intelligence Oversight Branch Inspections Branch Assistance Branch Sergeant Major Member of the JTF Commander's Personal Staff IG COL or LTC Rear Detachment IG Office 1x LTC / MAJ (Active Duty) 1x SFC (Automation) (Active Duty) (Driver) JP 3-33 = O-4 / 5 = O-5 / 6 = O-6 1x Maj (Active Duty) 1x MSgt (Active Duty) 2x SFC (Reserve / NG) 1x LTC (Reserve / NG) 1x SFC (Active Duty) 4x SFC (Reserve / NG) 1x CDR (Reserve) 1x MSG (Active Duty) 1x SFC (Active Duty) 1x MAJ (MI) (Reserve / NG) 1x MSG (Active Duty) 1x SFC (Reserve / NG) JP 3-33, Figure A-E-1, combines the Assistance and Investigations Branches TOTAL: 6 officers and 14 non-commissioned officers Size depends upon the Joint Manning Document!

  23. The JTF IG Routine Operations • Adhere to the Joint IG system or, if your CCMD IG advises, apply the Service IG system that fits the circumstances or the individual’s status • Use a routine forum (for example, Battle-Update Briefing, or BUB) to disseminate information, provide trends, and teach and train. • Be aware of emerging trends and readiness issues that surface within the JTF. Be proactive! • As an Army IG, deal directly with DAIG and other Service IGs as necessary.

  24. The JTF IG Office Structure Considerations • The size of the IG office depends upon the size of the JTF and the mission. • Some portion of the shop must remain behind to handle Army-only rear-detachment and family issues. • The IG office members should be trained IGs that represent all services (officers, NCOs, and civilians as appropriate) and components. Be multi-functional! • The IG office should have sufficient equipment and enough vehicles to ensure mobility and responsiveness within the Area of Operations.
