NFTF - Setting Mission Command in a Geographic Theater U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC)

Establishing mission command systems is an essential component to setting a geographical theater for military operations and is a core function of the Unites States Army Pacific (USARPAC). Doing so in advance of any contingency operation ensures continuous mission command, and allows headquarters and facilities to be identified, emplaced, and systems to be rehearsed routinely in order to seamlessly command and control Army forces throughout a theater. An Army service component command (ASCC) must set the following mission command conditions: clear lines of command, support relationships, and authorities and the physical structure which allows commanders to have the uninterrupted ability to communicate throughout the depth and breadth of the geographic theater.
