Joint Enabling Capabilities Command

U.S. Joint Forces Command’s (USJFCOM) Joint Enabling Capabilities Command (JECC) provides joint force commanders with immediate access to essential joint force headquarters capabilities. 

Established Oct. 1, 2008 in Suffolk, Va., JECC serves as the USJFCOM subordinate command responsible for providing forces that can rapidly deploy critical command and control capabilities to support newly-established joint force headquarters.   

The command combines capabilities across seven unique functional areas to deliver tailored, mission-specific support within hours of notification.  The command is responsible for the current employment, management and development of existing joint enabling capabilities (JEC) as well as identifying new requirements and developing new capabilities for joint force commanders worldwide.

The JECs available to combatant commanders include:

• Joint Deployable Teams composed of personnel from the four unique JECs of operations, plans, knowledge management / information superiority and logistics.  These teams deploy to assist joint task force commanders in establishing new headquarters for a broad range of missions including support for both humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.
• Joint Communications Support Element which provides command, control, communications and computer support to joint task forces and joint special operations task forces worldwide. 
• Joint Public Affairs Support Element which deploys joint media and communications capable teams for enhanced, ready public affairs capability to support combatant command operations and contingencies.
• Intelligence - Quick Reaction Team which provides military and civilian intelligence professionals with targeting and collection management expertise to a joint task force during events leading up to a crisis contingency operation. 

JECC trains continuously with operational joint forces from throughout USJFCOM and other combatant commands in order to enhance readiness for operational-level joint command and control.  The command accelerates the ability of service organizations to transition from a service-specific headquarters to an effective joint force headquarters in response to rapid deployment / contingency operations.
