  units from the Special-Purpose Forces (SPF) Command to each theater, ac-
  cording to theater requirements.
  2-26. The administrative force structure also includes some assets centrally
  controlled at the national level. For instance, major portions of the Air Force,
  Navy, Strategic Forces, and the SPF Command often remain under the direct
  control of their respective service component headquarters. The Army com-
  ponent headquarters may retain centralized control of certain elite units of
  the ground forces, including airborne units and Army SPF. This permits
  flexibility in the employment of these relatively scarce assets in response to
  national-level requirements. In peacetime, the internal security forces are
  under the administrative control of the Ministry of the Interior. The pool of
  national assets also includes major logistics facilities and installations.
  2-27. In wartime, the normal role of administrative commands is to serve as
  force providers during the creation of operational- and tactical-level fighting
  commands. After transferring control of its major fighting forces to one or
  more task-organized fighting commands, an administrative headquarters, facil-
  ity, or installation continues to provide depot- and area support-level adminis-
  trative, supply, and maintenance functions. (See Chapter 12.) A geographically-
  based administrative command also provides a framework for the continuing
  mobilization of reserves to complement or supplement regular forces.
  2-28. In rare cases, an administrative command could function as a fighting
  command. This could occur, for instance, when a particular administrative
  command happens to have just the right combination of forces for executing a
  particular SCP. Another case would be in times of total mobilization, when
  an administrative command has already given up part of its forces to a fight-
  ing command and then is called upon to form a fighting command with what-
  ever forces remain under the original administrative headquarters.
  2-29. Operational-level commands in the administrative force structure that
  are called upon to fight will employ the doctrine in this manual. However,
  they will not be able to employ joint or interagency forces effectively without
  additional training, staff, and C2 systems.
  OPERATIONAL-LEVEL ORGANIZATION
  2-30. An SCP always contains both military and nonmilitary subordinate actions.
  The operational level of command is that which executes military tasks as-
  signed directly by an SCP. Operational-level commands translate actions di-
  rectly supporting the SCP into an operation plan. The most common OPFOR
  operational-level commands are field groups (FGs) and operational-strategic
  commands (OSCs).2 Figure 2-3 shows one example of FG and OSC missions
  within such a hypothetical SCP.
  2 For the OPFOR, military actions above the tactical level will most commonly involve one or more OSCs, but could
  possibly involve an FG as an additional level of operational command. In most cases, the statements about an
  OSC in this manual would also apply to an FG, if one is created. Therefore, for the sake of brevity, references to
  FG will appear only where it is important to make a distinction between the OSC and FG levels.
