  support to joint targeting supports the continuous setting of the theater and coalition forces land component
  commander (CFLCC), field army (when constituted), and corps operations. The theater fires command or
  element ensures the Army’s contribution to the joint targeting process is effectively planned and executed
  during competition and crisis and can quickly transition to large-scale combat operations in accordance with
  the ground force commander's priorities. (See FM 3-09 for additional information on theater fires commands
  and elements.)
  Army Field Support Brigade
  4-85. The Army field support brigade links strategic resources to tactical units, and it can be assigned in
  support of a theater army or a corps. It provides APS readiness, ensuring stocks are maintained for use by
  arriving forces during crisis or armed conflict. The execution of APS equipment configuration and handoff
  operations are exercised as individual events and also as part of larger exercises, including the DEFENDER
  exercise series. Army field support brigades also run logistics civil augmentation programs. These can be
  used to provide resources to emerging needs, including theater-wide contract and other support to theater
  setting and opening requirements. The relationships developed during competition with potential contract
  support organizations can be leveraged to meet sustainment requirements using organizations already in
  theater. These and other functions are integral to building and maintaining combat power for large-scale
  combat operations by enabling the rapid and effective arrival and employment of Army forces. (See
  ATP 4-98 for additional details on the Army field support brigade.)
  Multi-Domain Task Force
  4-86. The multi-domain task force (MDTF) 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 non-lethal fires. When required, it can be task-organized to provide capabilities to the JTF or
  component commander. During competition, the MDTF may be forward stationed in a CCDR’s AOR to
  employ joint and Army capabilities in support of target development. The MDTF headquarters coordinates
  and synchronizes the information collection operations of its assigned formations with other theater and
  national assets.
  4-87. The MDTF is capable of coordinating and integrating cyberspace electromagnetic activities and space
  capabilities with long-range surface fires to deceive, neutralize, or disrupt enemy formations, C2 nodes, and
  cyberspace electromagnetic activities. It does so to enable Army and joint forces to penetrate and disintegrate
  enemy A2 and AD enabling C2 systems and exploit the resulting freedom of maneuver. The MDTF is
  designed to operate in a distributed fashion while retaining the ability to deliver effects that create
  opportunities for joint force exploitation. Based upon specific mission variables, the MDTF may be
  augmented with capabilities from across the warfighting functions.
  Security Force Assistance Brigades
  4-88. Security force assistance brigades (SFABs) provide advisors to conduct worldwide SFA operations to
  develop the capacity and capability of foreign security forces and their supporting institutions in support of
  theater security cooperation objectives. Advisors shape an operational environment by strengthening allies
  and building lasting partnerships. Advisors increase host-nation capability through joint exercises, and they
  remain ready to support the partnered force’s operations and modernization in conjunction with other
  instruments of national power. An SFAB improves interoperability by providing teams to advise partner-
  nation forces across all warfighting functions. It advises at the battalion, brigade, division, and corps levels.
  When the SFAB is consistently employed with a partner nation, it can improve a partner-nation security
  force.
  4-89. SFABs are regionally aligned to a specified geographic area to cultivate an in-depth knowledge and
  experience base capable of addressing the unique concerns of a given theater. The advisors in SFABs, in
  conjunction with civil affairs and theater information collection assets, enhance the common intelligence
  picture for a CCDR since they have direct knowledge of a partner’s force capabilities and have experience
  with their population. When directed, they conduct liaison and support activities to enable multinational
  operations during armed conflict. SFABs are uniquely manned and equipped to provide enduring presence
