Pre-test
Question 1.
Rather than defaulting to a joint task force organization comprised
of Service forces components, how else are field commanders
choosing to craft their task organization?
Field commanders have demonstrated a method of aligning functional task
forces within the established geographic and political borders of the country
in which they are operating.
Most field commanders are sticking to the traditional method of using
Service forces components.
Field commanders are using Service force components, functional
components and functional task forces aligned within a logical battlespace
geometry to support their concept of operations.
Question 2.
Military forces operating in another sovereign country must
account for certain limits to their actions in achieving mission
accomplishment. Which of the following is an operational
environment key insight that explains why their actions may be
limited?
Commanders cannot always achieve a full understanding of the
geopolitical environment within the host nation due to the pace in which the
battlespace geometry changes.
The actions of battlespace owners (BSOs) operating with host-nations and
non-coalition partners are significantly limited unless joint task force
commanders provide the BSO with "coordinating authority."
Host nations and non-coalition partners do not cooperate with military
commanders because they distrust the intentions of the U.S.
Host nation and non-coalition players may not recognize or heed the
military-centric viewpoint of BSO joint operating areas (JOA) and areas of
operation (AO)
