  3-57. RSSCs support combatant commanders with deliberate and crisis action planning:
  * Provide SATCOM support assessments in defining requirements and developing OPLANs,
  contingency plans, and communication annexes, theater policy, and procedures;
  * Perform battle drills, analyze scenarios, and provide assessments; and
  * Track resource utilization and recommend changes for optimizing resources.
  3-58. RSSCs support to theater spectrum management activities:
  * Assist in SATCOM restoral actions in response to electromagnetic interference or anomalous
  conditions; and
  * Assist in the joint frequency management office with spectrum allocations and frequency
  assignments.
  3-59. RSSCs coordinate planning for SATCOM interfaces to the Department of Defense information
  networks:
  * Facilitate interfaces to the gateways; and
  * Coordinate planning with Defense Information Systems Agency field offices contingency and
  exercises branch for Department of Defense information networks access.
  3-60. RSSCs support and United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) in maintaining global
  situational understanding:
  * Monitor on-going SATCOM support and assess impact of system changes and anomalies on
  current, planned, and future operations;
  * Provide data updates on SATCOM resources allocated to specific users;
  * Coordinate allocation and resource sharing with other RSSCs; and
  * Develop contingency plans for catastrophic failure.
  Staffing
  3-61. The RSSCs provide direct support to the combatant command and theater forces as the focal point
  for all SATCOM planning matters. RSSCs interact with each other, consolidated SATCOM systems experts,
  spectrum specific global watch officers, USSPACECOM, and Service unique satellite command and control
  centers to coordinate and facilitate the implementation of their plans.
  3-62. The Army Service component command provides management responsibilities for day-to-day
  operations and key personnel for each RSSC. Each RSSC consists of individual SATCOM spectrum planning
  cells staffed with planners by respective Service component. Each designated Consolidated SATCOM
  System Expert has administrative control responsibilities for their respective assigned personnel. The RSSCs
  conduct continuous, 24-hour operations.
  3-63. The planners are proficient in dealing with management and control issues for their particular
  systems. Current RSSC staffing responsibilities are listed below and illustrated in figure 3-3 (on page 3-12).
