 Stadium Task Force Draft
The Task 14 Force recommends that the responsibility for cost overruns and construction 15 management be clearly delineated in the lease between the franchise and the facility 16 landlord, but under no circumstances should the state be considered as a financing 17 source for cost overruns.

 Task Force
The task organization is predicated on the mission by a war plan or an operational plan of a commander of a unified command, and as further delineated by the fleet commander-in-chief (naval component commander) and the numbered fleet commander.
Designations for Task Forces subordinated to the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets generally follow this pattern, though the naive observer might conclude that these designations referred to units of the non-existent 1st Fleet [used for Pacific Fleet] and the equally non-existent 4th and 8th Fleets [used for the Atlantic Fleet].
For major combat formations, the Task Force in the operational chain of command is equivalent to the Group in the administrative chain of command.
