Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Mission In support of U.S. Strategic Command's (USSTRATCOM) global intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) mission, the Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (JFCC-ISR) develops strategies and plans; integrates national, Department of Defense (DOD), and international partner capabilities; and executes DOD ISR operations to satisfy combatant command (COCOM) and national operational and intelligence requirements.
Defense Intelligence Analysis Center at Bolling Air Force Base, home of JFCC-ISR Capabilities The JFCC-ISR plans, executes, and integrates ISR activities in support of USSTRATCOM's strategic and global missions. The JFCC-ISR area of interest (AOI) extends worldwide-from underwater to space-and overlays, but does not affect, other areas of responsibilities assigned to COCOMs. This AOI includes the full spectrum of military needs including transnational threats, weapons of mass destruction, and the Overseas Contingency Operation. The component's four divisions-operations, plans and strategy, assessments, and special activities-execute the following:
Organization The JFCC-ISR is a subordinate command of USSTRATCOM and collocated with the Defense Intelligence Agency at Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C. JFCC-ISR has ready access to all 16 agencies of the intelligence community. Contact Information Websites:
300th Military Intelligence Brigade (Linguist) Mission The 300th Military Intelligence (MI) Brigade (Linguist) provides language and MI support to U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) subordinate units, other war trace commands, Army theater commands, and the Department of Defense in multiple contingencies. Capabilities The 300th MI Brigade (Linguist) provides trained and ready linguist and MI Soldiers to commanders from brigade through Army level. The brigade human intelligence (HUMINT) skills include collectors (interrogators, translators, and interpreters) and counterintelligence agents as well. The signals intelligence skills include Soldiers who are trained in voice intercept and as analysts. The 300th MI Brigade (Linguist) provides support in 19 documented languages. Arabic, Persian-Farsi, and Korean are heavily represented, and the brigade can provide support in other regionally important languages. Major conflict languages, with closely associated countries, make up 60 percent of the unit's structure. The brigade has 1,400 linguist team positions, which have changed radically over the past several years and will continue to transform to meet the Army Language Master Plan. Organization A component of INSCOM, the 300th MI Brigade (Linguist) is an Army National Guard element with headquarters in Draper, Utah. Its battalions are in Washington, California, Florida, Utah, and Louisiana, with companies in Massachusetts and Illinois, and a separate team in Guam. The six battalions of the 300th MI Brigade (Linguist) are partially deployed to support current operations, and others are preparing for continued rotations. The mission of the 300th MI Brigade (Linguist) has always been to provide task-organized force packages to support the warfighting commander. The units of the 300th MI Brigade (Linguist) have proven invaluable in U.S. military operations worldwide, from the Gulf War to current operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Cuba. Three battalions (141st, 142rd, and 223rd) developed intelligence that led to victorious actions in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), including the capture of prominent figures of the former Iraqi regime including, reportedly, Saddam Hussein. Soldiers from the 223rd MI Battalion comprise more than 30 percent of the tactical HUMINT teams and operational management teams available during OIF. Contact Information Phone:

Biometrics Task Force Mission The biometrics task force (BTF) leads Department of Defense (DOD) activities to program, integrate, and synchronize biometric technologies and capabilities and to operate and maintain DOD's authoritative biometric database in support of the National Security Strategy. Capabilities The BTF will:
Biometrics systems currently in use:
Ongoing Initiatives The BTF developed and operates the DOD ABIS, an enterprise-level, multimodal biometric database. To that extent, the BTF maintains a secure, controlled repository for multimodal biometric templates and images for use in evaluating fusion concepts and potential solutions. The BTF is also involved in developing security criteria to ensure biometrics products meet established federal information assurance guidelines. Future Initiatives The BTF is enabling the establishment of biometrics footholds throughout the COCOMs using the current biometrics cells in Iraq and Afghanistan as models. The intent is for an expeditionary element of the BTF to deploy to a given COCOM to provide the initial framework and subject-matter expertise to establish a biometrics element within its headquarters. Thereafter, the BTF will serve as the primary reachback clearinghouse for biometrics-related issues and requests for information until such time as the COCOM biometrics cell is manned and equipped to operate autonomously. Organization Housed primarily in Arlington, VA, and Clarksburg, WV, the BTF operates through the executive agent authority given to the Secretary of the Army and delegated to the chiefs of staff for operations, plans, and information engagement. The BTF executes day-to-day biometrics functions and leads coordination for strategic movement forward for all parts of the DOD in cooperation with the director of defense biometrics and biometrics project manager.

Joint Space Operations Center Mission The mission of the Joint Space Operations Center (JSPOC) is to provide the commander, Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC SPACE) with agile and responsive command and control (C2) capabilities to conduct space operations on a 24/7 basis. The JSPOC is built around an air and space operations center adapted specifically for space missions and global operations and provides reachback to combatant commanders' space coordinating authorities (SCAs). Capabilities The purpose of the JSPOC is to provide a focal point for the operational employment of worldwide joint space forces, and enables the JFCC SPACE commander to integrate space power into global military operations. The JSPOC:
Three products are used to plan and execute JFCC SPACE forces in support of the mission: The space operations directive (SOD), the master space plan (MSP), and a weekly joint space tasking order (JSTO).
All three products can be effectively matched to synchronize with ongoing exercises or real-world wartime operations in any geographic combatant command. Combat operations effectively monitor the execution phase of operations and provide information on tasking responses to the JFCC SPACE commander, the other JSPOC divisions, upper command echelons, and theater space personnel for their SSA. In doing so, they create the single integrated space picture. The intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) division is integrated into all phases of the operational cycle, providing pertinent space intelligence information to the other three divisions in support of the strategy, planning, and operations monitoring efforts. Organization The JSPOC, located at Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA, is a synergistic command and control weapon system focused on planning and executing USSTRATCOM's JFCC SPACE mission. The JSPOC includes the personnel, facilities, and equipment necessary to provide the JFCC SPACE commander the ability to plan and execute worldwide space forces. The JSPOC is composed of four core divisions: strategy, combat plans, combat operations, and ISR. Contact Information The JSPOC's SSA operations cell maintains space data for all Earth-orbiting, man-made objects. JSPOC unclassified space data is available for authorized U.S. government personnel and U.S. government support contractors. To access the JSPOC site data files, you must have a valid USSTRATCOM Form-1 and GCSS-AF Form 41 on file with the JFCC SPACE/J95 office. Phone:
