	Introduction - Unified Command
		The UCP establishes combatant command missions, responsibilities, and force structure; delineates geographic areas of responsibility for geographic combatant commanders; and specifies functional responsibilities for functional combatant commanders.
		The commanders of combatant commands exercise combatant command (command authority) (COCOM) of assigned forces and are directly responsible to the NCA for the performance of assigned missions and the preparedness of their commands.
		Combatant commanders prescribe the chain of command within their commands and designate the appropriate level of command authority to be exercised by subordinate commanders.

		- (1) The commander of a combatant command is responsible to the President and to the Secretary of Defense for the performance of missions assigned to that command by the President or by the Secretary with the approval of the President.
		The commander of such command shall be appointed to that grade by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for service in that position.

	GAO-03-17, Defense Management: Munitions Requirements and Combatant Commanders' Needs Require Linkage
		The combatant commanders (who are responsible for the theaters of war scenarios), in coordination with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, use the threat assessment to allocate each service a share of the identified targets by phases of the war.
		Periodically the combatant commanders prepare reports of their readiness status, including the availability of sufficient types and quantities of munitions needed to meet the combatant commanders’ warfighting objectives, but these munitions needs are not tied to the services’ munitions requirements or to the budgeting process.
		In determining readiness, the combatant commanders develop their munitions needs using their own battle simulation models, scenarios, and targets and give emphasis to the munitions they prefer to use or need for unique war scenarios to determine the number and mix of munitions they require to meet their warfighting objectives.

	Missions, Responsibilities, and Geography: Rethinking How the Pentagon Commands the World
		While some combatant commands have forces assigned directly to them, Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Force units in the United States comprise a pool of troops that can be dispatched to the regional commands as needed.
		Furthermore, combatant commanders tend to compete with the ambassador (and the ambassador's country team, which incorporates all civilian, military, and intelligence personnel assigned to the embassy) in each country in the commander's area of responsibility.
		Combatant commanders cannot partner with the State Department at the regional level either, because the State Department's regional desks cover different geographical areas than the UCP's areas of responsibility.

		When our first combatant commands were established, the service chiefs played an active role in the commands and served as the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s executive agents in overseeing the commands.
		Our regional combatant commands provide essential regional expertise; they provide an enduring basis for U.S. presence around the globe; they are the keys to successful theater security cooperation with our allies and friends; and they provide the basis for pursuing multinational interoperability and military coalitions.
		While communications from the president and the secretary of defense to the combatant commanders normally pass through the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Joint Chiefs and the chairman are not in the chain of command.

		Once fielded, it’s intended to provide each combatant commander with a trained and equipped standing, joint command and control element, knowledgeable in regional operations and characteristics, and organized to reduce the lag time involved in establishing a joint task force headquarters ready to rapidly and decisively conduct operations.
		USJFCOM was the first DoD command to stand up a prototype SJFHQ last year – a move intended to test and refine the revolutionary headquarters concept before fielding it to the other combatant commands.
		The main purpose of the experiment was to train new command personnel on the various intricacies of the headquarters’ unique procedures and collaborative tools, as well as solicit input from the combatant commander's staff on areas for improvement.

		There were other regional commands with responsibilities for Alaska, for the Caribbean, and for guarding the northeastern air approaches to the United States, but there were also vast areas of the world not assigned to any combatant command.
		Our combatant commanders ultimately support the president and the secretary of defense in the pursuit of American security, and the array of possible command relations between combatant commanders should not be constrained unnecessarily.
		Prior to the formation of USSPACECOM in 1985, purely functional combatant commands tended to be "specified commands," meaning that all of their forces came from a single service.
