Providing communications support to Southern Command

Posted by Gregg Your in joint enabling capabilities, multinational on July 20th, 2010

Just finished posting an article from the Joint Enabling Capabilities Command (JECC). Julianne Sympson wrote on some work they are doing for U.S. Southern Command.

As one of seven JECC enabling capabilities, the Joint Communications Support Element rapidly delivers secure, reliable and scalable command, control, communications and computer capabilities ranging from small mobile team missions to full-sized joint task force headquarters.

JCSE provides dependable and timely tactical communications in support of missions spanning the globe. It combines highly trained joint personnel and leading edge equipment to provide the capability to respond to any level of conflict worldwide.

JCSE recently deployed personnel to support Operation Continuing Promise 2010, an annual four month civic assistance operation in select countries in the U.S. Southern Command area of operations.

OP Yorktown strengthens bonds, improves warfighter abilities

Posted by jlecappelain in irregular warfare, joint enabling capabilities, joint force provision, training on June 15th, 2010

Last week, I visited Joint Base Langley-Eustis to attend the JECC’s Operation Yorktown, a joint training exercise that they intend to hold annually.

The exercise replicated conditions a JECC team would experience when deployed in support of or to set up a joint task force. Using lessons learned during the deployment to Haiti earlier this year, the JECC warfighters faced a humanitarian assistance scenario set after a volcano eruption devestates the country of Cameroon.

Air Force Col. Paul Eberhart, JECC Joint Deployable Team (JDT) chief, belives the exercise was extremely valuable for the entire JECC.

All seven succinct joint enabling capabilities – four functional areas of operations, plans, logistics and knowledge management/information superiority that comprise the JDT, the Joint Communications Support Element, the Joint Public Affairs Support Element and the Intelligence – Quick Reaction Team are represented here, learning how to act as a JTF for a combatant command.
