Inputs to establish the JFACC come from which teams?

• A. Intelligence, Logistics, and Communications
• B. Intelligence, Operations, and Plans
• C. Operations, Logistics, and Plans
• D. Intelligence, Operations, and Communications

Answer: (D)

The act of establishing the JFACC relies on three critical inputs that define what to do, how to do it, and how to control the battlespace. Intelligence provides the situational awareness—threats, air defenses, enemy dispositions, and targeting information—so the JFACC can understand the environment and prioritize targets. Operations supplies the execution plan—tasking, sequencing, airspace management, and the overall concept of how air assets will be employed to meet the mission objectives. Communications ensures the command and control backbone—secure networks, data links, and the ability to send orders and receive real-time status across all involved units. Logistics and plans are important in their own right, but they do not directly deliver the immediate inputs needed to establish and run air operations in real time. The combination of intelligence, operations, and communications gives the JFACC the knowledge, the plan, and the connectivity required to command and control the air component effectively.
