  (cid:122) SOF contributions during deep and extended deep operations are often critical to setting conditions
  for conventional close and rear operations.
  (cid:122) SOF contributions during deep and extended deep operations are often critical to setting conditions
  for conventional close and rear operations.
  Because operations often include conventional and irregular forces from multinational partners,
  commanders must consider how they will maintain unity of effortwithout direct command authority. Security
  force assistance brigades (SFABs) provide the ability to partner with conventional allies and partners. Special
  operations forces enhance unity of effort by integrating irregular forces through security force assistance,
  foreign internal defense, and unconventional warfare. (See ATP 3-96.1 for more information on security
  force assistance brigades. See FM 6-05 for more information on integrating conventional forces and special
  operations forces.)
  JOINT INTERDEPENDENCE
  Joint interdependence is the purposeful reliance by one Service on another Service’s capabilities to
  maximize complementary and reinforcing effects of both. The degree of interdependence varies with specific
  circumstances.
  The Army depends on the other Services for strategic and operational mobility, joint fires, and other
  key enabling capabilities. The Army supports the other Services, combatant commands, and unified action
  partners with ground-based indirect fires and air and missile defense (AMD), defensive cyberspace
  operations, electromagnetic warfare, communications, intelligence, rotary-wing aircraft, logistics, and
  engineering. The Army’s ability to set and sustain a theater of operations is essential to allowing the joint
  force freedom of action. The Army establishes, maintains, and defends vital infrastructure. It also provides
  the JFC with unique capabilities, such as port and airfield opening, logistics, CBRN defense, and reception,
  staging, onward movement, and integration of forces (RSOI).
  DOMAIN INTERDEPENDENCE
  The Army provides forces and capabilities from all domains to the joint force. Army forces employ
  joint capabilities from all domains to complement and reinforce their own capabilities. Understanding domain
  interdependences helps leaders better mitigate friendly vulnerabilities while creating and exploiting relative
  advantages. Successful operations in an environment where the enemy can contest every domain requires
  continuous joint integration down to the lowest tactical echelons.
  Air
  Land capabilitiesenable air operations in multiple ways. Some of these ways include—
  (cid:122) Fixing enemy ground forces for destruction from the air.
  (cid:122) Providing air-delivered fires through rotary-wing and UAS platforms.
  (cid:122) Controlling, securing, and defending airports and airfields.
  (cid:122) Securing land-based C2 nodesfor air operations.
  (cid:122) Destroying enemy surface-to-air systems.
  (cid:122) Employing surface-to-air fires.
  (cid:122) Integrating all-source intelligence to identify threats to friendly air capabilities.
  (cid:122) Providing logistics supportto other Service components.
  Air capabilities enable land operations in multiple ways. Some of these ways include—
  (cid:122) Providing air-to-ground fires.
  (cid:122) Providing offensive and defensive depth through air interdiction and strategic attack.
  (cid:122) Protecting ground forces from air attack.
  (cid:122) Employing airborne platforms for information collection.
  (cid:122) Providing aerial movement of personnel, equipment, and supplies.
