Joint Operations Across the Range of Military Operations V-59 16. Considerations for Stabilization a. General. Operations in this phase continue pursuit of the national strategic end state. These operations typically begin with significant military involvement, to include some combat, and then move increasingly toward enabling civil authority as the threat wanes and civil infrastructures are reestablished. As progress is made, military forces will increase their focus on supporting the efforts of HN authorities, OGAs, IGOs, and/or NGOs. National Security Presidential Directive-44, Management of Interagency Efforts Concerning Reconstruction and Stabilization, assigns DOS the responsibility to plan and coordinate USG efforts in stabilization and reconstruction. The Secretary of State is responsible to coordinate with SecDef to ensure harmonization with planned and ongoing operations. Military support to stability operations within the JOA are the responsibility of the JFC. b. Several LOOs may be initiated immediately (e.g., providing FHA, establishing security). In some cases, the scope of the problem set may dictate using other nonmilitary entities which are uniquely suited to address the problems. The goal of these military and civil efforts should be to eliminate root causes or deficiencies that create the problems (e.g., strengthen legitimate civil authority, rebuild government institutions, foster a sense of confidence and well-being, and support the conditions for economic reconstruction). With this in mind, the JFC may need to address how to coordinate CMO with the efforts of participating OGAs, IGOs, NGOs, and HN assets. For further guidance on CMO, refer to JP 3-57, Civil-Military Operations. JOINT TASK FORCE-CIVIL SUPPORT Joint task force-civil support (JTF-CS) is the nation’s only standing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) JTF. It is comprised of active, reserve, and National Guard members from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines as well as civilian and contract personnel. Established in October 1999, JTF-CS is assigned to US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and focused on CBRN consequence management planning, preparedness, and command and control of Department of Defense (DOD) forces during CBRN incidents. The commander of US Army North serves as the joint force land component commander and has operational control of JTF-CS. When directed, JTF-CS deploys with USNORTHCOM's allocated forces and conducts CBRN response operations in support of civil authorities. JTF-CS coordinates and synchronizes DOD capabilities into the federal, state, local, and tribal response in order to save lives, prevent further injury, and provide temporary critical support to enable community recovery.
