• Assignment: The President, through the UCP documents his direction for assigning forces for Unified Commands (Title 10 U.S.C., Sections 161, 162, and 167)
• Allocation: By the authority of the SecDef, forces assigned to a combatant command may be transferred or allocated to another combatant commander for employment…under procedures prescribed by the SecDef and approved by the President (Title 10 U.S.C., Section 162)
• Apportionment: The CJCS is responsible for preparing strategic plans including projected resource levels…the CJCS apportions forces to combatant commands based on the SecDef’s contingency planning guidance (Title 10 U.S.C., Section 153)

• Composition - flag officer or equivalent representation from:– OSD: Policy and P&R -- others as required– All Combatant commands– Joint Staff – Services
• Convenes quarterly to address specific recurring tasks, as required to address emergent issues
– Q1: Review rotational schedule for changes; review and approve COCOM rotational planning guidance (Product: Rotational Forces Request PLANORD)
– Q2: Review and approve JFP sourcing guidance (Product: JFP PLANORD)– Q3: Review and prioritize requests (Product: CCDR submissions sent to JFPs)– Q4: Review and recommend JFP sourcing solutions; risk and mitigation options
(Product: Annual GFM Allocation Plan)• GFM Board output vetted by a CJCS Tank as required
Emergent Force AllocationRequest For Forces (RFF) Requirements
• Request from a COCOM or Force Provider for units or capabilities to address emergent (un-forecasted) requirements within their AOR that cannot be met by the requesting headquarters or its components, or the COCOM’s assigned or allocated forces
– Unit/capability is not resident in the existing assigned forces
– Unit/capability is not available due to current commitments
• An RFF is not the proper vehicle to source exercises (JTIMS), individual requirements (JMD) or equipment-only requirements (service or JUONS)
For validation, an RFF must have: (must make operational sense)• Regional JOD provides operational validation with JOD-GFM support• Unit capability; description suitable for ILO sourcing if applicable• Unit quantity• Destination • Earliest arrival date (EAD); Latest arrival date (LAD)• Deployment Duration – service rotations authorized?• Mission Justification
– Why the capability is required– Operational risk if not sourced– Mitigation measures available to reduce that risk
• Similar capabilities in AOR - number and justification of why they cannot be used
• Identify additional or replacement– Detailed justification for the requested force– If additional, what has changed in the AOR (enemy situation, mission, environment,
etc)• Justification for continuation of requirement for replacement forces
– Why is this capability still needed and can a smaller force be substituted• Training requirements• Command and control relationships
• Force Management Integration Project– Requirements Management Tool
– Sourcing and Staffing Tool
– Global Visibility Tool
• Advancement of the GFM timeline to better forecast requirements and provide as much lead time to forces for predictability– FY10: Rotational Sourcing ongoing – Dec 08 target
– FY11: CCDR submissions – Mar 09
• Maturing the GFM process and improving efficiency requires:– JFPs must leverage their Service components headquarters
– Further information technology development
– Culture change for the “old” way of doing business
• Title 10, US Code, Section 162– Secretaries of the Military Departments shall assign all forces
under their jurisdiction to combatant commands or to USELEMNORAD to perform missions assigned to those commands. Such assignments shall be made as directed by SecDef ...
• Except as otherwise directed by SecDef, forces assigned to the combatant commands or USELEMNORAD do not include forces assigned to carry out functions of the Secretary of a Military Department … or forces assigned to multinational peacekeeping organizations.
– A force assigned to a combatant command or USELEMNORAD may be transferred from the command to which it is assigned only by authority of SecDef, and under procedures prescribed by SecDef and approved by the President.
– Except as otherwise directed by SecDef, all forces operating within the geographic area assigned to a unified combatant command shall be assigned to, and under the command of, the commander of that command.
– Establishes missions, responsibilities (including geographic boundaries), and force structure of combatant commands
– Chairman must review at least biannually (title 10, US Code, section 161(b))
– Paragraph 6: “Unified combatant command forces will be assigned to such commands by the Secretary of Defense’s memorandum entitled ‘Forces for Unified Commands’”
• “Forces For”
– Directs assignment of forces to combatant commands and USELEMNORAD
– Reflects peacetime disposition of forces
– Prescribes use of execution and deployment orders to transfer forces between combatant commanders
– A planning directive from the SecDef, issued by the CJCS, that authorizes and directs the transfer of forces between combatant commands by reassignment or attachment. A DEPORD normally specifies the authority that the gaining combatant commander will exercise over the transferred forces
• Execute Order (EXORD)
– An order issued by the CJCS, by the authority and at the direction of the SecDef, to implement NCA decision to initiate military operations
– An order to initiate military operations, as directed
• Only SecDef has authority to transfer forces and change command relationships, including temporary changes in OPCON, TACON, or support authorities between combatant commanders … DEPORD is the most common vehicle
• DEPORDs normally deploy additional forces, parts of units, individual personnel and equipment -- not force augmentation, unit replacement, resupply, sustainment or non-unit related pers/equip.
• Not all movements require a DEPORD – Exercises
– Temporary duty of short duration that is not operational
– Service training
• Some movements specifically require a DEPORD– Special operations
– Counterdrug
• A separate, expedited orders process is used for Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)
• Title 10 U.S.C., Section 3013: The Secretary of the Army, subject to the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary of Defense…is responsible for, and has the authority necessary to conduct all affairs of the Department of the Army, including the following functions: Recruiting, Organizing…Mobilizing, and Demobilizing…
• Executive Order 13223, 14 Sep 2001: …the authority under Title 10 U.S.C. to order any unit and individual of the Ready Reserve to active duty for not more than 24 consecutive months, is invoked, and made available to the Service Secretary concerned…under the direction of the Secretary of Defense…
• SecDef Memo, 13 Oct 2001:…Pursuant to section 12302 of title 10….I hereby delegate to the Secretaries of the Military Departments authority to order to active duty Ready Reserve members…The Secretaries of the Military Departments shall submit to me requests for additional authority to order Ready reserve units and personnel to active duty as necessary…
Notes1. In the case of NATO requirements, SACEUR releases a Consolidated
Joint Statement of Requirements (CJSOR) in lieu of an RFF/RFC2. For NATO requirements, NATO holds a Force Generation Conference
in lieu of a Sourcing Conference3. For NATO requirements, SecDef releases a Force Prep Message in
lieu of an EXORD, DEPORD or Schedule4. GFMB participation depends on the scope of the issue – GFMB only
addresses strategically significant issues. If GFMB review is not warranted, AO and/or flag-officer SVTCs will review. Sourcing conferences used for large-package requirements (e.g., OIF rotations). Some actions will not require GFMB or SVTC review.
5. OSD staffing typically includes OSD(P) and DOD(GC) for all actions, ASD(SOLIC) for Special Operations, USD(I) for ISR, and OSD(P&R) for RC issues

Global Force Management Board• Periodic GFMB’s: Tied to Fiscal Year quarters - adjust dates within the quarter as required
– Rotational force allocation plan (produced by JS) approves requirements, designates force provider(s), and provides SecDef authority to deploy forces / change COCOM
– Rotational force schedule (produced by JFP) designates “named” units that will deploy
DATES JAN – MAR APR - JUN JUL - SEP OCT - DEC
Task & Purpose
Review and approve:- Sourcing guidance, assumptions and prioritization for JFPs to use in sourcing
Validate CCDR requirements for next three fiscal years (execution year, FY+1 and planning years, FY+2 and FY+3) and approve: - Sourcing solution development of CCDR requests for rotational forces Establish guidance to JFPs for capturing persistent shortfalls data
Review / endorse - JFP developed force sourcing recommendations- Associated risk / mitigation options required to gain SecDef approval to deploy forces
Review and approve:- Rotational force schedule for any identified changes.- Force Provider LS/HD asset nominations- Rotational Force strategic guidance and assumptions for combatant command use in developing next round of rotational force requirements- Persistent Shortfalls assessment
Input(s) Prior to GFMB
-OSD-provided force allocation prioritization & guidance
CCDR requests for rotational forces or capabilities)
-JFP developed sourcing recommendations -JFP provided initial persistent shortfalls data
Combatant command or force provider identified changes to the allocation plan- Force Provider nominated LS/HD assets.
Output(s) after GFMB
- CJCS PLANORD outlining JFP roles, responsibilities, and guidance in support of sourcing rotational force allocation requirements
Joint Staff message passing:- CCDR rotational force requests to designated JFPs for sourcing- Guidance to JFPs for capturing persistent shortfalls during sourcing
- Approved changes to the rotational force allocation plan- CJCS PLANORD directing CCDR execution-level planning in support of rotational force allocation requirements- Anticipated persistent shortfalls for FY+1 that may require alternative sourcing solutions.
- OCT: Review / prioritize / develop guidance for COCOM- developed rotational requirements to be sourced by JFPs
- JAN: Review / recommend approval on JFP developed schedule and allocation plan
- APR: Review SecDef-approved schedule and allocation plan- JUL: Review / approve strategic guidance and assumptions for
