Abstract
Abstract : The U.S. military's Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) construct is the current method of theater level air power employment. JFACC doctrine largely reflects U.S. Air Force history and procedures. Despite its successes, the JFACC concept has a number of problems. These include doctrinal mismatches among the services, additional layers in the chain of command, lack of responsiveness, and large manpower requirements. This paper examines those issues and proposes technological and organizational changes to the JFACC. These changes would result in a flatter, more networked organization that would give the Joint Force Commander (JFC) increased flexibility and effectiveness in theater air power employment.
