Joint Functions III-7 activities. To facilitate this integration and synchronization, they have the authority to designate target priority, effects, and timing of fires within their AOs. (a) Synchronization of efforts within land or maritime AOs with theater- and/or JOA-wide operations is of particular importance. To facilitate synchronization, the JFC establishes priorities that will guide or inform execution decisions throughout the theater and/or JOA, including within the land and maritime force commander’s AOs. The JFACC is normally the supported commander for the JFC’s overall air interdiction effort, while JFLCCs and JFMCCs are supported commanders for interdiction in their AOs. (b) In coordination with the JFLCCs and JFMCCs, other commanders designated by the JFC to execute theater- or JOA-wide functions have the latitude to plan and execute these JFC-prioritized operations within land and maritime AOs. Commanders executing such a mission within a land or maritime AO must coordinate the operation to avoid adverse effects and fratricide. If those operations would have adverse impact within a land or maritime AO, the commander assigned to execute the JOA-wide functions must readjust the plan, resolve the issue with the land or maritime component commander, or consult with the JFC for resolution. (2) Command and Control of Space Operations. A supported JFC normally designates a space coordinating authority (SCA) to coordinate joint space operations and integrate space capabilities. Based on the complexity and scope of operations, the JFC can either retain SCA or designate a component commander as the SCA. The JFC considers the mission, nature, and duration of the operation; preponderance of space force capabilities made available, and resident C2 capabilities (including reachback) when selecting the appropriate option. The SCA is responsible for coordinating and integrating space capabilities in the operational area and has primary responsibility for joint space operations planning, to include determining space requirements within the joint force. The SCA normally will be supported by assigned or attached embedded space personnel. There are established doctrinal processes for articulating requirements for space force enhancement products. These processes are specifically tailored to the functional area they support and result in prioritized requirements. Thus the SCA typically has no role in prioritizing the JFC’s day-to-day space force enhancement requirements. The SCA gathers operational requirements that may be satisfied by space capabilities and facilitates the use of established processes by joint force staff to plan and conduct space operations. Following coordination, the SCA provides the JFC a prioritized list of recommended space requirements based on joint force objectives. To ensure prompt and timely support, the supported CCDR and Commander, United States Strategic Command (CDRUSSTRATCOM), may authorize direct liaison between the SCA and applicable United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) component(s). Joint force component commands should communicate their requirements to the SCA or designated representative to ensure that all space activities are properly integrated and synchronized. For detailed guidance on C2 of space operations, refer to JP 3-14, Space Operations. (3) Command and Control of Joint Air Operations. The JFC will normally designate a JFACC and assign responsibilities. The JFACC’s responsibilities normally
