Joint
Public Affairs Support Element (JPASE)
The Joint Enabling Capabilities Command's (JECC) Joint Public Affairs Support Element (JPASE), located in Suffolk, Va., provides the warfighter with trained, equipped, scalable and expeditionary joint public affairs (JPA) capability to support world-wide operational requirements. JPASE is an early entry capability that enables the joint force commander (JFC) to gain and maintain the initiative in the information domain.
As the JPA proponent, JPASE provides dedicated improvement of JPA capability across doctrine, training, education, concept development, collaborative information processes and emerging technologies. JPASE also provides JPA training to better enable JFCs and their staffs to successfully meet continuously evolving information environment challenges in their respective theaters of operation.
JPASE has three related functional areas:
• Expeditionary Capability - JPASE deployable teams provide a standing, rapidly-deployable, turn-key JPA capability to support various operational requirements. JPASE can deploy alone or with any combination of other JECs based on the needs of the combatant commander or JFC.
• Proponency - JPASE defines capabilities, establishes joint standards, leads development and education and researches, explores and experiments in areas of concern to the JPA community across the entire spectrum of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities.
• Training support - JPASE provides quality public affairs training through participation in major exercises, seminars, and planning events to better able JFCs and their staffs to successfully meet continuously evolving information environment challenges in their respective theaters of operation.
