  (cid:122) General support is support given to the supported force as a whole and not to any particular
  subdivision thereof (JP 3-09.3). Units assigned a general support relationship are positioned and
  have priorities established by the parent unit.
  (cid:122) Reinforcingis a support relationship requiring a force to support another supporting unit (FM 3-0).
  Only like units can be given a reinforcing mission. The reinforcing unit retains its command
  relationship with its parent unit but is positioned by the reinforced unit.
  (cid:122) General support-reinforcingis a support relationship assigned to a unit to support the force as a
  whole and to reinforce another similar type of unit (FM 3-0). A unit assigned a general support-
  reinforcing support relationship is positioned and has priorities established primarily by its parent
  unit and secondarily by the reinforced unit.

  2-50. Administrative controlis the direction or exercise of authority over subordinate or other organizations
  in respect to administration and support. (JP 1, Volume 2). Administrative control (ADCON) is not a
  command or support relationship; it is a Service authority. It is exercised under the authority of and delegated
  by the Secretary of the Army, and it is synonymous with Army’s Title 10, United States Code, authorities.
  Commanders of ASCCs exercise ADCON over Army units assigned or attached to the combatant commander
  and operating in the theater of operations. Although ADCON generally includes jurisdiction to exercise
  military justice, practitioners should always consult their local AR 27-10 supplement to verify legal authority.
  GENERATING COMBAT POWER

  extended periods. A warfighting functionis a group of tasks and systems united by a common purpose that
  commanders use to accomplish missions and training objectives (ADP 3-0). The warfighting functions are—
