  operations. It discusses joint command and control, planning process and considerations, and the entry
  force.
  JOINT PRINCIPLES FOR FORCIBLE ENTRY OPERATIONS
  1-4. Fundamental principles are essential to plan, prepare, execute, and access joint forcible entry
  operations.Jointprinciplesforforcibleentryoperationsare:
  ACHIEVESURPRISE
  1-5. Commanders and planners strive to achieve surprise regarding exact objectives, times, methods, and
  forces employed in forcible entry operations. Surprise depends upon comprehensive information-related
  capabilities[operationssecurity(OPSEC) and militarydeception]followedbydisciplined executionbythe
  joint force. (Refer to JP 3-13.3 and JP 3-13.4 for more information.) Surprise is not a necessarycondition
  for operational success (particularly when the force has overwhelming superiority), but it can reduce
  operationalrisksignificantly.
  CONTROLOFTHEAIR
  1-6. Counterair integratesoffensive and defensive operationsto attainand maintain a desired degree ofair
  superiorityand protectionintheoperationalareatoprotecttheforceduring periodsofcritical vulnerability
  and to preserve lines of communications. At a minimum, the joint force must neutralize the enemy’s
  offensiveair and missile capabilityand air defensesto achievelocalair superiorityand protectionover the
  planned lodgment. The joint force controls the air through integrated and synchronized air and missile
  defense operations. Air interdiction of enemy forces throughout the operational area enhances the
  simultaneityanddepthoftheforcibleentryoperation.
  CONTROLOFSPACE
  1-7. Space superiority allows the joint force commander access to communications, weather, navigation,
  timing, remote sensing, and intelligence assets without prohibitive interference by the opposing force.
  Clearly defined command relationships are crucial for ensuring timely and effective execution of space
  operations and provide depth, persistence, and reach capabilities for commanders at the strategic,
  operational,andtacticallevels.
  ELECTROMAGNETICSPECTRUMMANAGEMENT
  1-8. Electromagnetic spectrum management is the planning, coordinating, and managing use of the
  electromagnetic spectrum through operational, engineering, and administrative procedures (JP 6-01). It
  includes the interrelated functions of frequency management, host-nation coordination, and joint spectrum
  interference resolution that together enable the planning, management, and execution of operations within
  the electromagnetic operational environment during all phasesof military operations. Theelectromagnetic
  operational environment is the background electromagnetic environment and the friendly, neutral, and
  adversarial electromagnetic order of battle within the electromagnetic area of influence associated with a
  givenoperationalarea(JP 6-01).(RefertoJP 6-01formoreinformation.)
  OPERATIONSINTHEINFORMATIONENVIRONMENT
  1-9. Information superiority is the operational advantage derived from the ability to collect, process, and
  disseminate an uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying an adversary’s ability to do
  the same (JP 3-13). It enables the primary mission objective and information-related activities within
  informationoperations.Informationoperationsistheintegratedemployment, duringmilitaryoperations,of
  information-related capabilities in concert with other lines of operation to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or
  usurp the decisionmaking of adversaries and potential adversaries while protecting our own (JP 3-13).
  (RefertoJP 3-13formoreinformation.)
  1-10. Information in an operational environment is an important contributor to operational access as it
  enables commanders at all levels to make informed decisions on how best to apply combat power,
