OPLAN PhasesA HD/CS Perspective
Due to the unique, constitutionally-mandated and
daily working relationships at the
State/Territory level, the National Guard will
always be the first DoD responder for HD/CS
missions, BUT synchronization with active
component (Title 10) and inter-agency partners is
critical to mission success

USNORTHCOM-NGB JCCSE Concept for Joint C4
JCCSE is an umbrella term that encompasses all
of the vital organizations and supporting
net-centric IT capabilities required by the
National Guard to support USNORTHCOM, USPACOM,
USSTRATCOM, USJFCOM, and other DOD and non-DOD
partners by extending interagency and
intergovernmental trusted information sharing and
collaboration capabilities from the national
level to the state and territory and local
levels, and to any incident site
The USNORTHCOM NGB JCCSE Concept for Joint C4
is signed by USNORTHCOM and NGB J-6, and is the
strategic basis for the way ahead
21
JCCSE Definition and Components

Joint CONUS Communications Support Environment
(JCCSE)
JCCSE is an umbrella concept to enable the
reliable and timely flow of key information to
support state and Federal military activities for
HS/CS. It includes the communications systems and
programs that provide connectivity,
collaboration/situational awareness, and C4
coordination. Currently, the key components of
JCCSE are Joint Incident Site Communication
Capability (JISCC), Joint Information Exchange
Environment (JIEE), the Joint C4 Coordination
Center (JCCC) and Operations Center IT Support.
Key Components

• Connectivity JISCC-Supporting the procurement
  and fielding of 55 communications suites for all
  54 states and territories.
• Collaboration/Situational Awareness JIEE-
  Creating an information sharing environment to
  support access to event related data and
  situation reporting, standardized battle staff
  processes (RFIs/RFAs), and Joint C4 Asset
  Coordination.
• C4 Coordination JCCC-Standing up the
  organization and facility to support the
  USNORTHCOM horizontal information exchange of the
  IT common operating picture (COP).
• Operations Center IT Support NGB JFHQ-State
  JOC IT requirements.

Hurricane Katrina Validated NG Roles
Supporting JCCSE Construct

• Validated roles of NGB (Nationwide
  Coordination) and JFHQ-State (Mission
  Coordination, Planning, C2) as envisioned
  by new mission statements, but capabilities must
  mature and planning needs to provide
  capability for 24X7 operations for weeks, and
  perhaps months
• Require better, integrated, interoperable
  collaboration and information sharing
  capabilities among NGB JFHQ-State JOCs,
  COCOM and JTF/TF HQ, deployed forces, other
  mission partners
• Require enhanced C4 management capabilitiesa
  Joint C4 Coordination Center (JCCC)as
  envisioned within the JCCSE Concept for Joint C4
  -- Visibility of C4 capabilities nationwide
  -- Pre-planning versus ad hoc planning --
  Enhanced responsiveness to operational
  priorities -- Enhanced C4 planning
  management for Joint Task Force(s), staging
  area(s), and incident site(s)
• Deployable Communications Quality good, but
  quantity totally inadequateJCCSE National
  Guard Communications Elements (NG CE) required in
  every State/Territory -- Numerous Task Force
  locations -- Lack of communications
  capabilities for NG soldiers on the ground

Joint C4 Coordination Center (JCCC) Mission

• A cornerstone of JCCSE is the ability to manage
  and employ NG C4 assets on a nationwide basis
  to support HLD/DSCA mission requirements
• The JCCC mission is to serve as the focal point
  for
• Planning
• Oversight but not C2
• Coordination
• Reporting of NG fixed and deployable net-centric
  C4 capabilities
• JCCC Core Functions
• Assist States with coordination for the
  employment of NG C4 capabilities in support
  of HLD/DSCA missions
• Develop and maintain the NG C4 COP
• Coordinate spectrum management assistance
• Coordinate SATCOM training and operations with
  DoD and Commercial teleports
• Provide interface with USNORTHCOM TNCC on C4
  related activity

The NGB JCCC is supported by the 261st Signal
Brigade, Smyrna DE (ARNG) and the 281st Combat
Communications Group, Coventry, RI (ANG) to
provide Army National Guard and Air National
Guard expertise.
