What are the Command Authorities? What are the Differences?
(OATS)
OPCON - the authority to perform those functions of command over subordinate forces
Organize and employ commands and forces
Assign Tasks Designate objectives Give authorities direction necessary to accomplish missions
ADCON - the authority over subordinates or other organizations in respect to administrative and support (service authority, not a joint authority)
Organization of service forces Control of personnel, resources, equipment, training/readiness, discipline
TACON Command authority over assigned or attached forces or commands, or military capability or forces made available for tasking, that is limited to the detailed direction and control of movements or maneuvers within the operational area necessary to accomplish missions or tasks assigned. Tactical control is inherent in operational control - may be delegated to and exercised at any level at or below the level of combatant command. Tactical control provides sufficient authority for controlling and directing the application of force or tactical use of combat support assets within the assigned mission or task.
Support is a command authority in a joint doctrine. A supported and supporting relationship is established by a superior commander between subordinate commanders when one organization should aid, protect, complement, or sustain another force.
