  rapid and accurate coordination among headquarters. TLDs have organic transportation and Army computer
  systems. These detachments receive communications support from Army theater signal units. Qualified
  linguists and interpreters with specific language capabilities augment TLDs. Digital liaison may be able to
  augment procedural aspects of staff functions even in areas where digital augmentation is not desired or
  necessary. In the Republic of Korea, two TLDs coordinate the specific U.S. aspects of combat, information,
  protection, and logistics support for the Combined Forces Command. (Refer to ATP 3-94.1 for additional
  details on TLDs.)
  MULTINATIONAL BOARDS, BUREAUS, CELLS, CENTERS, AND WORKING GROUPS
  2-73. The multinational commander and staff determine early in the planning process the multinational
  boards, bureaus, cells, centers, or working groups and operational planning teams (known as OPTs). The
  commander and staff assess requirements for effectively integrating task execution and the associated critical
  information from across warfighting functions to avoid isolating information functions. Based on purpose
  and responsibilities, these staff cells and centers may integrate UAPs and national C2 information systems
  within the lead nation’s command post. Or these staff cells and centers may send out liaisons to UAPs to
  develop and maintain relationships and communications supporting shared understanding, trust, confidence,
  and unity of effort among partners.
  Coalition Network Operations Security Center
  2-74. Effective network operations (known as NETOPS) provide consistent performance in the MPN. A
  critical component for network operations in an MPE is standing up a coalition network operations and
  security center (CNOSC). This includes setting a network staff with national C2 information systems
  provided by network contributing partners. The C2 information systems aid in establishing, operating, and
  troubleshooting the MPN. MPN operations include monitoring national networks to identify impacts to the
  network, assisting the COP coordination cell in producing the multinational (sometimes called coalition)
  COP, and helping mission partners meet JMEI requirements. Integrating the CNOSC with the joint network
  operations control center (or similar C2 group) helps avoid unnecessary duplication of effort in a mission
  partner operation. (Refer to ATP 6-02.61 for more information on the CNOSC.)
  Coordination Cell
  2-75. The COP coordination cell includes representatives from each multinational partner with the ability
  and responsibility to monitor, correct, and report issues between the coalition COP (published over the MPN)
  and national COPs. The COP coordination cell, like the CNOSC, is a requirement for a lead nation
  headquarters conducting mission partner operations. The COP coordination cell operates as an effective and
  efficient method for building and maintaining a quality coalition COP. The COP coordination cell provides
  a status of the coalition COP in relation to each national picture, which increases multinational partner trust
  and confidence during execution. (Refer to ATP 6-02.61 for more information on the COP coordination cell.)
  2-76. Commanders establish various centers that enhance C2 at each echelon. Commanders in multinational
  operations integrate allies, coalition partners, interagency organizations, and intergovernmental organizations
  into a variety of centers within a multinational command. Member nations provide liaison officers familiar
  with their nations’ activities, and they integrate, coordinate, and synchronize multinational operations by
  function. Multinational commanders integrate multinational staff into various centers to enhance control,
  such as the operations center, fire direction center, and numerous sustainment operations centers. Joint
  intelligence operations centers may be difficult to integrate due to intelligence sharing permissions and
  authorities. The joint deployment and distribution center (known as JDDC) is a critical coordination center
  that liaisons integrate with to obtain coalition sustainment support. Coalition partners provide liaisons to the
  joint movement center to synchronize priorities of movement among coalition partners.
  2-77. A multinational commander, operating under a parallel command structure, must establish a
  coordination center to integrate, coordinate, and synchronize operations with parallel commands. The
  coordination center allows for parallel commands executing independent operations to coordinate their
  activities while exercising independent C2. Parallel command structures are discouraged. (Refer to JP 3-16
  for more on parallel command structures.)
