specific responsibilities assignedtotheServicesby the PResidentandSecDef toenabletheServices tofulfill theirlegally established role
unique about the MAW
only part of ACE that has the inherent capability to perform all 6 aviation fucntions
primary focus of the ACE
to support the MAGTF duringthe assault landing phase andsubsequent operations ashore
role of MLG
`provide tactical logistics above theorganic capability of supported units to all elements ofthe MEF
supply chain management
link to operational andtheatre level logistic agencies capableof supportingthe mEF
MAGTF
balanced, air-ground, combined armsformations undera single commander
MAGTF is theprinciple organization for all Marien Corp missions across the range ofmilitary operations
roleof MEF
major theatre war
AND
winour nation’s battles
roleof MEB
respond to crises and small scale contingencies
role of MEU
promote peace and stability
key feature of MAFTF
expandability
- ableto expand the original force rather thanreplacing it with a larger one. thatpromotes continuity of operations
purpose of MEU
givesCCDR/operationalcommander a quick seabased reactionforce
- canconduct enabling actions forfollow on

MC Systems Command
- R&D, acquisition, and lifecycle management of MC funded materiel and information systems
primarily focused on equipping the force
**instrument of the MC that shapes desired ground equpment capabilities
3 components of the MPF
MPSRON - maritimeprepositioningships squadron
FIE
Navy SupportElement
mission of 2nd Medical Battalion
Mission. Provide ready Health Service Support (HSS) to II Marine Expeditionary Force in order to enable worldwide mission success
purpose of risk management
eliminate senseless and needless loss of life, injury,andmaterialdamage
*minimize risk to an acceptablelevel with comopletion of the task at hand or accomplishing the mission
4 basic principles of risk management
- accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost
- accept[t no unnecessary risk
- anticipate and mange risk by planning
- make risk decisions at the right level
5 steps of operationalriskmanagement
ID hazards
assess the hazards
make risk decisions
implement controls
supervise
3 tasks under “Step 2: Assess Hazards” in ORM
assess severity & probability
complete Risk Assessment
3 tasks under “Step 4: Implement Controls” in ORM
make implementation clear
establish accountability
provide support

control class B fire
AFFF, Halon, PKP
- securing the flow of gas is the most important step!
control class A fire
water or AFFF
AFF is better than seawater
control class C fire
CO2, halon, water spray
most effective tactic: deenergize then treat like a class A fire

supportING commander
aids, protects, complements, or sustains
- provides assistance
one commander receives assistance fromanother to carry out assigned tasks/operations
supportED commander
JSCP
Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan
5 components that should be included in an establishing directive for supportED/supportING relationships
- forces/resources allocated to the suppoertING
- time/place/level/duration of support
- relative priority of the supporting effort
- authority of the supportING commander to modify thesupportING effort intehevent of exceptionalopportunity or emergency
- degree ofauthority granted to the supportED CDR over supportING
4 catagories of support over assigned/attached
general
durect
mutual
suport
COCOM
combatant command authority
-nontransferable comand authority to perform function of command
- org/employ commands/forces
- assign tasks & designate directives
- logistics/training
ADCON
administrative command
- resource/equip, personnelmanagement,logistics, training,readiness,mob/demob,discipline
TACON
tactical control
- authority limited to the detaile ddirectionand control of movements/maneuvers withintheoperational area necessary to accomplish assigned missions/tasks
DIRLAUTH
authority to directly consult/coordinate
- coordination not command relationship
direct support
a mission requiring a force to support another specific force and authorizing it to answer directly to the supported force’s request for assistance
general support
support igven to the supoerted force as a whole rather thana particular subdivision
Joint Task Force
created to accomplish missions with a specific,limitedobjectives,and won’t require centralized control of logistics
combined operations
two ormoreforces operate together
formal versus informal combined operations
alliance: formal agreement
coalition: adh hoc for common action
5 pillars of readiness
unit readiness
capability and capacity to meet requirements
high quality people
infrastructure sustainment
equipment modernization
how to report readiness
assess organization’s capabilities to accomplish mETS to specific standarss
P-level
lower percentage of personnel strenth and MOS (military occupation speciality)
S-Level
equpment andsupplies possessed
* material measurement of an org’spossessed equipment against its designed requirement

what is a METL
mission essential task list
- contains the list of a command’s essential tasks with appropriate conditions and performance standardst o assure successful mission accomplihment
T-level
assessmento f the unit’s training to accomplish its mission
- base T-levelonteh%of METS trainedt o standadrd

what does ACE mean
ACE is not a formal command
- it catagorizes the functionality of specific forces within the MAGTF
