Appendix
Command and Support Relationships
Command and support relationships provide the basis for unity of command and
unity of effort in operations. Command relationships affect Army force generation,
force tailoring, and task organization. Commanders use Army support relationships
when task-organizing Army forces. All command and support relationships fall
within the framework of joint doctrine. Joint Publication (JP) 1 discusses joint
command relationships and authorities.
CHAIN OF COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS
A-1. The President and Secretary of Defense exercise authority and control of the armed forces through two distinct branches of the chain of command. One branch runs from the President, through the Secretary of Defense, to the combatant commanders for missions and forces assigned to combatant commands. The other branch runs from the President through the Secretary of Defense to the secretaries of the military departments. The latter branch serves other purposes than providing operational direction to combatant command assigned forces. Each military department operates under the authority, direction, and control of the secretary of that military department. These secretaries exercise authority through their respective Service chiefs over Service forces not assigned to combatant commanders. The Service chiefs, except as otherwise prescribed by law, perform their duties under the authority, direction, and control of the secretaries to whom they are directly responsible.
A-2. The typical operational chain of command extends from the combatant commander to a joint task force commander, then to a functional component commander, or a Service component commander. Joint task forces and functional component commands, such as a land component command, comprise forces that are normally subordinate to a Service component command but have been placed under the operational control of the joint task force, and subsequently to a functional component commander. Conversely, the combatant commander may designate one of the Service component commanders as the joint task force commander or as a functional component commander. In some cases, the combatant commander may not establish a joint task force, retaining operational control over subordinate functional commands and Service components directly.
A-3. Under joint doctrine, each joint force includes a Service component command that provides administrative and logistic support to Service forces under operational control of that joint force. However, Army doctrine distinguishes between the Army component of a combatant command and Army components of subordinate joint forces. Under Army doctrine, the theater army is assigned to a combatant command. There is only one theater army within a combatant command's area of responsibility.
A-4. The Secretary of the Army directs the flow of administrative control. Administrative control for Army units within a combatant command normally extends from the Secretary of the Army through the theater army, through an Army force, and then to Army units assigned or attached to an Army headquarters within that joint command. However, administrative control is not tied to the operational chain of command. The Secretary of the Army may redirect some or all Service responsibilities outside the normal theater army channels. In similar fashion, the theater army may distribute some administrative responsibilities outside the Army force. Their primary considerations are the effectiveness of Army forces and the care of Soldiers.
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL
A-5. Administrative control is direction or exercise of authority over subordinate or other organizations in respect to administration and support, including organization of Service forces, control of resources and 12 October 2011
