  1-26. Forcible entry operations during the dominate phase of a campaign may be used for the following

  transitionto area securityand further operationsto stabilize and enable civilauthority. The mere existence

  JOINT COMMAND AND CONTROL
  1-28. Joint and partner interoperability (to include communications, planning and operations processes,
  staff functionality, language skills, and cultural knowledge) is critical to achieve unity of effort. Joint
  command and control information systems must enable interoperability and help synthesize information
  intoknowledge whileoperatinginaustereenvironments,onthemove,andacrosswideareas.
  1-29. Joint command and control capabilities must maintain communications when networks are
  compromised or degraded due to friendly or enemy actions as well as materiel breakdown, natural
  atmospheric effects, or geospatial interference. The following paragraphs provide guidance on the
  employment options, organization of the operational area, command relationships, and command and
  controlfunctionsthatsupporttheconductofforcibleentryoperations.
  FORCEEMPLOYMENT
  1-30. The combinationof forcible entrycapabilitiesemployed depends onthe mission.Unityofcommand
  is vital when multiple forcible entry capabilities are used or combined. Forcible entry operations are
  complex and must be kept simple in concept and well understood by all elements of the joint force and
  supportingcommands.
  1-31. If the JFC decides to use a combination of forcible entry capabilities, he must decide whether to
  conduct the forcible entries as concurrent or integrated operations. The distinction between concurrent and
  integrated operations has implications for organizing forces, establishing command relationships, and
  applyingforcetoaccomplishthemission.Hemustconsidertheuniqueaspectsofthe specificoperation and
  should organize the force, establish command relationships, and apply force in a manner that fits the
  currentsituation.
  1-32. Concurrent operations occur when a combination of amphibious, airborne, or air assault forcible
  entryoperationsareconductedsimultaneouslybutasdistinctoperationswithseparateoperationalareasand
  objectives. Integrated forcible entry operations result when amphibious, airborne, or air assault forcible
  entries are conducted simultaneously within the same operational area and with mutually supporting
  objectives. Integrated forcible entry operations feature the complementary employment of forces and seek
  tomaximizethecapabilitiesoftherespectiveforcesavailabletothecommander.
  1-33. Dispersed joint forces use strategic and operational maneuver via air and sea to deploy or employ
  fromtheglobalsystemofmainoperatingbases,forwardoperatingsites,cooperativesecuritylocations,and
  amphibious and other sea-based platforms to project military force into an operational area with sufficient
  freedomof action to accomplish the mission. The complementarycapability to employ from the air, with
  airborne and air assault forces, and the sea, with amphibious and air assault forces, complicates the
  adversary’s defense. Byrequiring the adversaryto defend a vast area againstour mobilityand deep power
  projection, joint forces can render some of his force irrelevant while exploiting the seams created in his
  defensivedisposition.
  1-34. Advanced force operations include strike operations, clandestine insertion of special operations
  forces and organic or supporting reconnaissance and/or surveillance teams, deception, counter-mine or
  counter-obstacle operations, and information operations. These activities combine with efforts to gain
  localized air and maritime superiority in the approaches to and entry areas. Joint strike operations along
  with theater air and missile defense, computer network operations, and electronic attack help provide
