Integrated plans require coordination among which commands?

• A. JFC, JFACC, JFMCC; plus deconfliction measures and synchronized timing.
• B. Only ground forces.
• C. Only naval forces.
• D. Only aircrew.

Answer: (A)

Integrated plans bring together air, land, and maritime power under a single effort. The Joint Force Commander coordinates with the air component commander (JFACC) and the maritime component commander (JFMCC) to shape effects across domains, and this coordination is supported by deconfliction measures and synchronized timing. Deconfliction keeps assets from getting in each other’s way—using rules of engagement, time, space, and method—while synchronized timing ensures that actions across air, sea, and ground occur in the right sequence or simultaneously to maximize impact and prevent fratricide. Because integrated planning must orchestrate all component forces, it naturally involves the JFC, JFACC, and JFMCC, plus the necessary deconfliction and timing mechanisms.
