CHAPTER 1
Introduction
The Global Intervention Joint Operations Executive (GIJOE) is a joint service agency of the United States Department of Defense taskedwith peace enforcement in conflicts where the National Command Authority (NCA) has determined the existence of a breach to the peacethat threatens the vital national security or humanitarian interests of the United States and its allies. Effective peace enforcement inpolitically sensitive and hostile settings requires an adaptive rapid response combined arms force, highly-trained and skilled in the use of awide range of coercive military measures to help bring about conditions conducive to the establishment of a functional and stableframework for peace and security. GIJOE is that rapid response combined arms force.
1-1. Mission.
a. GIJOE's mission is to plan and conduct small-scale conventional military operations and limited special operations insupport of peace enforcement objectives. The agency may conduct these tasks as part of a larger unilateral or multilateralmilitary peace enforcement contingent or it may perform these activities independently as a self-contained and self-sufficient rapid response combined arms force. GIJOE actively fights belligerent parties in order to bring about a cessationin hostilities that will allow for the political resolution of a conflict.
b. Conventional military activities conducted by GIJOE include the use of ground, air, and maritime combat patrols tophysically separate combatants to help create or reinstate a ceasefire and to delay, disrupt, capture, or destroy belligerentforces or supplies en route to battle areas. Military force may also be used to effect the rescue and evacuation of victims ofhostilities, provide security for humanitarian relief organization (HRO) personnel, and create safe havens for civilians
affected by conflict.c. GIJOE conducts special operations in situations where more conventional military measures are untenable or impractical.
These consist primarily of short duration special light infantry strikes and raids to seize, destroy, or capture designatedtargets in order to reduce belligerent parties' ability to wage hostilities. GIJOE also has the ability to execute precisionstrikes against combatant facilities and installations by employing terminal guidance techniques for precision-guidedmunitions launched from organic and external aircraft and indirect fire assets. The agency is also authorized to use lethalforce against unlawful combatants to preclude or preempt belligerent and terrorist activities in extremis.

1-2. Fundamentals of GIJOE operations.
a. Versatility
GIJOE maintains competence across a wide range of functions and skills. Emphasis is placed on
imaginative and innovative training and planning and the use of multiple methods of insertion, attack, andextraction.
b. Initiative
GIJOE exhibits a willingness to take reasonable risks and strives to control events rather than allowing theoperational environment and the belligerent parties to dictate them. Planning and execution of operationsanticipates belligerent actions and takes these into account to fully disrupt attempts to continue hostilities.
c. Agility
GIJOE personnel have the necessary skills, training, and situational awareness that enables them to take
advantage of opportunities that present themselves in the field. GIJOE is able to react decisively tochanges and maintain its initiative, even in situations not anticipated during the planning phase.
d. Depth
While primarily a combat maneuver unit, GIJOE also uses a wide array of organic informational andmaneuver support resources to influence the operating environment and conditions to be resolved.Planners use a multi-pronged but nonetheless focused approach to creating solutions to peaceenforcement problems.
e. Synchronization
GIJOE relies on detailed and precise coordination and speedy execution of its activities to exploit
belligerents' weaknesses and mitigate their strengths.

1-3. Capabilities and Limitations.
a. GIJOE is capable of the following:
(1) Deploying quickly to conduct operations on all types of terrain and in all kinds of weather; infiltrating
and exfiltrating an area of operations by land, sea, or air using organic wheeled vehicles, smallwatercraft, and tactical airlift and assault aircraft.
(2) Conducting ground, air, and maritime combat patrols to physically separate combatants to helpcreate or reinstate a ceasefire and to delay, disrupt, capture, or destroy belligerent forces orsupplies en route to battle areas.
(3) Conducting operations to rescue and evacuate of victims of hostilities, provide security forhumanitarian relief organization (HRO) personnel, and create safe havens for civilians endangeredby conflict.
(4) Conducting direct action operations such as short duration special light infantry strikes and raids
which employ specialized military capabilities to seize, destroy, or capture designated targets inorder to reduce belligerent parties' military capabilities in situations where more conventionalmeasures are untenable.
(5) Executing precision strikes against combatant facilities by employing terminal guidance techniquesfor precision-guided munitions launched from organic or external aircraft and indirect fire assets.
(6) Using lethal force against unlawful combatants to preclude or preempt belligerent and terroristactivities in extremis.
(7) Performing tailored intelligence and counterintelligence activities in support of peace enforcementgoals, to include surveillance and reconnaissance of assigned targets and named areas of interest.
(8) Performing tailored maneuver support activities in support of peace enforcement objectives, toinclude law enforcement, CBRN decontamination, and mobility support operations such as obstaclebreaching, engineer reconnaissance, explosive ordnance clearance, and IEDD operations.
(9) Conducting casualty evacuation.
(10) Operating for up to one week without resupply, and for longer periods when provided withaccompanying or airdropped supplies.
(11) Providing liaison, communication, and coordination personnel and equipment to integrate thedeployed GIJOE elements into the logistical, intelligence, and operational system of the supported
peace enforcement contingent commander.

b. GIJOE has the following limitations:
(1) Limited offensive ground warfare capability against armored units in open terrain.
(2) Limited organic tactical airlift aircraft and assault helicopter assets.
(3) Limited capability to conduct airstrikes against ground and naval targets using organic multirole
fighter aircraft.(4) Limited capability to set up and operate drop zones, pickup zones, and landing sites for airborne
operations, air assault operations, air resupply operations, or other air operations.
(5) Limited organic air defense weapons.
(6) Limited organic indirect fire support.
(7) Limited capability to perform maritime security operations using organic watercraft and divingequipment.
(8) Limited casualty treatment capability.
(9) Limited sustained combat capability due to the logistical restrictions of organic sustainment assets.
(10) Lengthy training periods are necessary in order to replace operatives lost in combat with similarly-qualified personnel.

1-4. Employment Considerations.
a. Peace enforcement cannot solve the underlying causes of conflict in most cases. GIJOE may be effective in forcing aceasefire upon belligerents but it cannot, in and of itself, create the conditions for lasting peace and security. Resolution ofthe underlying causes of a conflict requires political, humanitarian, and peacekeeping capabilities beyond the scope ofGIJOE's peace enforcement mandate.
b. GIJOE peace enforcement operations are likely to disregard state sovereignty, particularly if the mission takes place inhostile territory controlled by a belligerent party opposed to the cessation of hostilities. For this reason, GIJOE is normallydeployed pursuant to international authorization except in cases where rapidly evolving threats to vital national security orhumanitarian interests necessitate a rapid and decisive unilateral peace enforcement response.
c. Unlike other conventional or special military operations, GIJOE operations are more constrained by political factorsdesigned to bring warring belligerent parties to the negotiating table.
d. GIJOE is not suited for transition to a peacekeeping force because it loses its neutrality status once it engages belligerents
in combat and likely will never be considered neutral again by the warring belligerent parties involved in a conflict.Additionally, conventional peacekeeping forceswho lack the material means and psychological preparation to engagebelligerents in escalating combatand dedicated special operations unitswho are more accustomed to operating with amuch more aggressive posture ill-suited for the peace operations milieushould not be used as a substitute for GIJOE insituations wherein the NCA has determined a need for the deployment of a special operations-capable peace enforcementforce.
e. GIJOE may be deployed to engage in combined training exercises with allies or to participate in military activities onlytangentially related to the task of peace enforcement in support of vital US interests.
f. GIJOE is habitually reinforced by combat support and combat service support personnel from the New York Division ofMilitary and Naval Affairs (in charge of the New York Army and Air National Guard) when at its home station in FortWadsworth.

CHAPTER 2
The GIJOE Functional Specialty System
GIJOE uses a unique job classification system called the GIJOE Functional Specialty System (GFSS). The GFSS is designed to facilitatejoint operational personnel management and ensures that only the best qualified personnel, regardless of branch of service affiliation, areselected for GIJOE positions. It accomplishes this by grouping functionally related military occupational specialties, career fields, ratings,areas of concentration, and Department of Defense civil service occupational specialties under a unified occupational specialty, called aGIJOE Functional Specialty (GFS). Entry requirements for a particular GFS are designed to maximize the size of the possible pool ofentrants while still restricting entry to only the most qualified personnel.
GFSs are grouped into nine career fields divided across three pay tiers. The nine career fields are Administrative Affairs, IntelligenceSupport, Operations and Plans, Logistics and Supply Management, Joint Tactical Maneuvers, Communications-Electronics, ManeuverSupport, Support Aviation, and Medical Services. The three pay tiers are Manager, Advisor, and Technician. The Manager tier coversspecialties requiring a field-relevant bachelor's degree, and assignments in this tier are reserved for personnel in the military pay-grades of
O-2 to O-7 and entrants rated for Excepted Service pay scale grades GG-9 to GG-15 and the Senior Executive Scale. The Advisor tiercovers managerial-level positions that do not necessarily require a bachelor's degree. Advisor assignments do require a documented levelof expertise in the career field achieved through a significant accumulation of relevant work experience (at least ten years for most Advisorpositions) and technical schooling. Advisor tier assignments are reserved for military personnel in the pay-grades of W-2 to W-5 and civilservice personnel rated for Excepted Service pay scale grades GG-9 to GG-12. The Technician tier, like the Advisor tier, comprisesspecialties that do not necessarily require a bachelor's degree. Technician specialties require a documented level of proficiency in therelevant career field as demonstrated by relevant work experience (at least four years for entry-level Technician positions) and technicalschooling. Technician assignments are reserved for enlisted military personnel in the pay-grades of E-4 to E-9 and civil service personnelrated for Excepted Service pay scale grades GG-4 to GG-8.
Competition for GFS-coded positions is highly competitive, and successful candidates generally possess qualifications that far exceed the
minimum requirements dictated by their target specialty and tier.
Military applicants who qualify for a GFS-coded position in GIJOE incur a three-year obligatory term of service with the agency.Applications for an extension of the term of service should be submitted to the Executive Administration Program Manager no later than 30weeks prior to the term's expiration. Many of these GFS-coded positions in GIJOE are also jointly classified as excepted civil servicepositions and are thus open to open to qualified civilian personnel. Civilian GIJOE agents consist of federal civil service employees whohave been approved for a requested interagency transfer to GIJOE as well as qualified applicants hired from the private sector. As with theagents of other Excepted Service agencies such as the CIA, FBI, and the DIA, civil service GIJOE agents have fewer appeal rights in theevent of scheduling conflicts, disciplinary actions, or job termination compared to positions in the Competitive Service due to the need tomaintain operational flexibility, efficiency, and high disciplinary standards in support of the GIJOE mission.
A selected applicant is accorded probationary GIJOE agent status upon acceptance into the organization and is entered into furtherspecialty-specific qualification training once he or she has cleared any pending administrative requirements and has relocated to the Fort

Wadsworth area. The duration of the specialty training pipeline varies from specialty to specialty, with the briefest being the four-weekGIJOE Administrative Affairs Technician Qualification Course and the longest being the GIJOE Paracommando Officer training pipeline,which consists of the 26-week long GIJOE Paracommando Qualification Course and an additional 18 days of instruction in joint specialoperations and insurgency warfare topics at the Joint Special Operations University at Fort Bragg. Most specialty qualification training isconducted at the GIJOE Professional Instruction and Training (PIT) Center co-located with the agency's headquarters in Fort Wadsworth,although many training pipelines also require students to receive additional training in other locations. Once fully qualified in a primaryspecialty, the new GIJOE agent begins his or her initial 36 month tour within the organization.
An agent may also be assigned a Secondary GIJOE Functional Specialty in the event that he or she meets the requirements for anotherGFS, although the agent is not entered into the training pipeline for this secondary specialty and can exercise the duties andresponsibilities of this specialty only with the authorization of a senior Administrative Affairs or Operations manager and only under thesupervision of an agent who has completed the training pipeline for that particular GFS. Available resources and schedule allowing, anagent can enter the training pipeline for his or her Secondary GFS after 24 months in their Primary GFS, provided he or she commits to aterm of service extension of at least 24 months. Depending on organizational staffing needs, an agent who has completed the trainingpipeline for two or more GFSs can request a temporary or permanent change in Primary and Secondary GFS assignments. CertainPrimary GFS assignments require scheduled refresher, maintenance, and skills upgrade training to maintain assignment eligibility.
