Joint Force Maritime Component Commander

Abstract

The Navy has been conducting joint warfare since its inception; further joint warfare and the employment of sea power is an evolutionary process. The functional maritime component to the joint force is the Joint Force Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC). JFMCC doctrine is currently under development and the Navy currently lacks a common framework for the establishment of a JFMCC. This SRP focuses on joint maritime operations and the key elements that are essential to its effectiveness. It provides historical examples of successful joint operations; it traces the evolution of naval joint warfare describing the roles and capabilities the Maritime Component brings to the Joint Force. Using examples from the author's experience on the Seventh Fleet staff it also describes the framework from which the Seventh Fleet JFMCC operated. The SRP concludes with recommendations to improve the JFMCC process and the development of doctrine.
