is limited to the detailed direction and control of movements or maneuvers within the
Operational Area (OA) necessary to accomplish assigned missions or tasks.

has the authority to require consultation 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. It is 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.)

- 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.
- Parallel Command Structure: Each coalition member has its own command
chain, working in parallel with the othe r 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: Exists when one nation, usually the one with the
preponderance of assets and Command and Control (C2) capability, is responsible for the
direction and synchronization of MNFs, each one of which is commanded by its own
commander.
- Integrated Command Structure: there is a single commander with a multinational staff
representative of the alliance member nations. Subordinate HQs can be functionally oriented,
geographically oriented or a combination of both.
