As of 19 July 05
DPG: To strengthen joint operations, the Geographic Combatant Commanders will establish SJFHQs by FY 2005 reflecting standards established by Joint Forces Command. Each SJFHQ will have a standardized joint C4ISR architecture.
CJCS: Implementation Guidance 05 Mar 03 - SJFHQ must strike a balance between standards/commonality and RCC uniqueness …. The SJFHQ will be composed of a full-time, coherent team that is mission-tailored and led by a senior officer who reports directly to the combatant commander.
Sec Def: Memo 16 Dec 2003 - Integration of the SJFHQ into U.S. Regional combatant command structure is an important step in increasing the ability to respond to … the global security environment. Directed to reprogram 58 of the remaining 15 % HQ’s reduction to establish a SJFHQ, reflecting standards established by USJFCOM.

The Bridge: SJFHQ - Full-time coherently joint team- Situational understanding of the focus area using Operational Net Assessment- Links to external Organizations- Effects Based focus and capability- Continuity – pre-crisis thru termination
• Operational planning begins pre-crisis• Draws from an in place SA & SU• Standing Team with joint experience • Uses reach-back and collaboration to minimize footprint forward• Organized for Virtual and physical collaboration • Can utilize a cross-functional organization to maximize knowledge and information technology

Forming a JTF HQ Tomorrow
• Operational planning begins during crisis• Extensive time to build situational awareness• Search for Joint experience • Extensive augmentation required to become a JTF (ad hoc issues)• Physical Collaborative Networks (VTC)

As of 19 July 05
SJFHQ Pacific Mission
Provide CDRUSPACOM a deployable, trained and equipped
Standing Joint Task Force Headquarters (SJFHQ) element,
trained in Effects-Based Operations (EBO), capable of
supporting Joint/Coalition Task Force (J/CTF) activation,
and/or augmentation of J/CTF Command and Control (C2) .
SJFHQ is specifically organized to enhance CDRUSPACOM's
ability to deter or quickly respond to regional crises. Should
deterrence fail, SJFHQ provides an effective means to rapidly
augment a J/CTF with a capability to conduct EBO-based
planning, execution, and assessment.
“Starter Kit” Core element of trained/ready joint plannersto activate/augment a JTF
