Appendix G G-4 JP 3-28 control element within the JTF headquarters is vital to unity of effort and synchronization. Component support plans will address how personnel will report to the CJTF regardless of the POD that units use for reception and staging. c. Staging operations includes the assembling, temporary holding, and organizing of arriving personnel, equipment, and materiel in preparation for onward movement. Staging areas provide the necessary facilities, sustainment, and other required support to enable units to become mission capable prior to onward movement into the JOA. The personnel, equipment, and materiel to be employed for DSCA operations within the US may stage within the confines of their respective home installation. Reliable communications and well-understood reporting requirements are essential for the JTF to effectively manage the building of capability for the CJTF. d. Onward movement operations include movement of personnel and accompanying material from reception facilities and staging areas to a designated unit FOB within the JOA. If units and forces employed in DSCA missions within the US are geographically close to the JOA, the unit FOB may be located at the unit’s home installation. Depending on the location of the BSI in relation to the incident site, a FOB could also be located at a designated BSI. e. Integration operations encompass the synchronized hand-off of units to an operational commander prior to mission execution. DSCA operations within the US often combine Title 10, USC; Title 32, USC; and state active duty forces. The CJTF’s C2 and communication and coordination possibilities are extensive and special attention to integration should be emphasized.
