User:RelentlessRecusant/Joint Operations Group

The Joint Operations Group (JOG) is a command and control element employed the UNSC Joint Forces Command (JOINTCOM) to exercise C2 over deployed UNSC multiservice forces at the theater level.

JOINTCOM is organized to conduct coordinated theater warfare at three levels: the sector level (by astrographical sector), the planetary level (by individual planet), and the subplanetary (theater) level. Each Joint Operations Group administers command at the subplanetary level within a geographically-defined area of responsibility, typically an entire continent. Within its subplanetary area of responsibility, the Joint Operations Group is responsible for coordinating and prosecuting the air-ground battle, coordinating deployed Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force assets.

All maneuvers at the Division level and above are doctrinally deferred to command from the area of responsibility's assigned Joint Operations Group. As per the present UNSC order of battle, the land combat formation assigned to most Joint Operations Groups is two Army Corps, one Marine Expeditionary Force, and various supporting Air Force assets. The commanding officer of each theater-level Joint Operations Group, known as the "Joint Theater Commander", was a full General of either the Air Force, Army, or the Marine Corps.
