Dissolving U.S. Joint Forces Command

Abstract

The Unified Command Plan establishes United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) as the combatant command with the leading responsibility for joint force integration, training, and transformation. USJFCOM has Combatant Command authority over the majority of U.S. based military forces and therefore also serves as the joint force provider for the other combatant commands. The broad range of USJFCOM's roles and missions risks the subordination of the desires of other Combatant Commanders. The President and the Secretary of Defense should disestablish U.S. Joint Forces Command and apportion their functions and components to other commands, staffs, and agencies within the Department of Defense.
