  mission, availability of FS assets, and command preferences. The actual makeup of FS elements and cells is
  flexible. However, it ensures that all FS assets respond to the supported commander's intent. At corps and
  division levels, FSEs at tactical and rear area CPs are extensions of the main CP FSE. They assist the main
  FSE and JAGIC controlling assets engaged in close and rear area operations. Below are descriptions of FS
  elements and cells within each echelon of Army and joint commands.
  THEATER FIRES COMMAND
  2-23. An Army TFC provides C2 of assigned strategic fires capabilities, serves as the senior HQ assigned to
  a theater Army to integrate theater fires assets, and executes critical FS functions in all phases of operations.
  The TFC is designed to develop, nominate, and converge effects on joint targets across the theater. This
  support to joint targeting will shape the OE, to enable JFLCC/Field Army and Corps operations and counter
  aggression on land during crisis.
  2-24. The TFC ensures the Army's contribution to the joint targeting process is effectively planned and
  executed and can seamlessly transition to large-scale combat operations in accordance with the ground force
  commander's priorities. This also provides greater deterrence options for the theater. For more information
  on the theater Army operations see ATP 3-93.
  JOINT FIRES ELEMENT
  2-25. The JFE is an optional staff element established by the JFC and composed of representatives from the
  J-3 (referred to as the operations directorate of a joint staff); the components (land, maritime, air, and special
  operations); and other elements of the JFC's staff, to include space and cyberspace operations representatives
  and the directorates (to include intelligence, logistics, plans, and civil-military operations). The JFE integrates
  and synchronizes fires planning and coordination on behalf of the JFC and should be near the joint operations
  center. The JFE works closely with the command's J-2 to ensure the successful execution of the joint targeting
  cycle. For more information on the JFE see JP 3-09.
  MULTIDOMAIN TASK FORCE
  2-26. The multidomain task force provides the joint force with a formation capable of employing long-range
  precision fires and other effects from multiple domains in support of the commander’s objectives. It is
  designed to defeat complex enemy systems through the collection of information and different forms of lethal
  and nonlethal effects. When required, it can be task-organized to provide capabilities to the JTF or component
  commander. During competition, the multidomain task force may be forward stationed in a combatant
  commander’s area of responsibility to employ joint and Army capabilities in support of target development.
  The multidomain task force all domain operations center (referred to as the ADOC) coordinates and
  synchronizes the information collection operations of its assigned formations with other theater and national
  assets. For more information on the multidomain task force see FM 3-0.
  BATTLEFIELD COORDINATION DETACHMENT
  2-27. The BCD is a specialized, regionally focused Army element that serves as the senior Army operational
  commander’s liaison with the air component. A BCD is co-located with the joint or combined AOC. The
  BCD is the Army’s interface for systems connectivity to the joint air operations center (JAOC) and for
  personnel integration with their JAOC counterparts. When a U.S. Army HQ is designated as the JFLCC, the
  BCD may serve as the land component commander’s liaison to the air component commander when
  augmented with other unique land force representatives. For more information on the BCD see ATP 3-09.13.
  BCD tasks include:
  * Integrate ARFOR/Land Component requirements during joint air tasking cycle.
  * Facilitating the exchange of current intelligence and operational data.
  * Processing air support requests.
  * Monitoring and interpreting the land battle situation.
  * Coordinating for air and missile defense (referred to as AMD).
  * Coordinating for airlift.
