FUN-104, SOB 1a: Define command. -Answer Authority that a commander in the armed
forces lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment.
FUN-104, SOB 1b: Identify the principle of unity of command. -Answer All forces operate
under a single commander with the requisite authority to direct all forces employed in
pursuit of a common purpose.
FUN-104, SOB 2a: Describe the four command relationship levels of authority (COCOM,
OPCON, TACON, and Support). -Answer- COCOM: the command authority over
assigned forces vested only in CCDRs by Title 10, USC or as directed by the President in
the Unified Command Plan (UCP) and cannot be delegated or transferred. It is the
authority to perform those functions of command involving organizing and employing
commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative
direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training, and logistics necessary to
accomplish the missions assigned to the command.
OPCON - a command authority which may be exercised by a commander over
subordinate forces that is inherent in COCOM and which involves the responsibility to
accomplish specific missions or tasks or to perform specific duties or functions of force
or unit with respect to organizing and employing commands and forces, assigning
tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative direction over all aspects of
military operations and joint training necessary to accomplish the mission. OPCON
normally invests the superior with full authority to organize commands and forces and to
employ those forces, but it does not carry with it authoritative direction for logistics or
matters of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training.
TACON - A transferable command authority inherent in OPCON, over assigned or
attached forces or commands, or military capability or forces made available for
tasking. The authority is limited to the detailed direction and control of movements or
maneuvers within the Operational Area (OA) necessary to accomplish assigned
missions or tasks.
,- Support: an operational command authority established by a superior commander
between subordinate commanders when one force should support, cover, complement,
or sustain another force. Supporting relationships are designated so as to identify
priorities to commanders and staffs for planning or executing joint operations.
FUN-104, SOB 2b: Describe the other levels of authority ADCON, coordinating authority,
DIRLAUTH. - Response - ADCON: the direction or exercise of authority over subordinate
or other organizations with respect to administration and support including organization
of Service forces, control of resources and equipment, personnel management, unit
logistics, individual and unit training, readiness, mobilization, demobilization, discipline,
and other matters not included in the operational missions of the subordinate or other
organizations.
- Coordinating Authority: Authority given to a commander or individual to coordinate
specific functions or activities involving forces of two or more Services, two or more
joint force components, or two or more forces of the same Service. The commander or
individual so authorized has the authority to require consultations between the agencies
involved, but does not have the authority to compel agreement.
DIRLAUTH: that authority granted by a commander (at any level) to a subordinate to
directly consult or coordinate an action with a command or agency within or outside the
granting command. More applicable to planning than operations, and always carries
with it the requirement of keeping the granting commander informed. DIRLAUTH is a
coordination relationship, not an authority through which command may be exercised.
(JP-1, p V-12, para 9.c.)

the relationship that results from a formal agreement (e.g. treaty) between two or more
nations for broad, long-term objectives that further the common interests of the
members.
- Coalition: an ad hoc arrangement between two or more nations for common action.
Coalitions are formed by different nations, often with different objectives, usually for a
single occasion or for a longer period while addressing a narrow sector of common
interest.
FUN-105, SOB 1c: Describe the three basic command structure models. - Answer -
Parallel Command Structure: Each coalition member has its own command chain,
working in parallel with the other members' chains through some kind of coordination
center. Because no single force commander is designated, this structure violates the
principle of unity of command.
- Lead-nation command structure: This exists when one nation, usually the one with the
preponderance of assets and C2 capability, is responsible for the direction and
synchronisation of MNFs, each one of which is commanded by its own commander.
- Integrated Command Structure: there is one commander with a multinational staff
representative of the alliance member nations. Subordinate HQs can be functionally
oriented, geographically oriented or a combination of both.
