CHAPTER: NMO (JW02) SOB: Illustrate NMO concepts and/or their impact on subordinate, SNCO, and mission effectiveness. The forward deployed unit superintendent considers her flight the best one to complete the upcoming tasking since her flight was specifically formed to complete assignments with a precise, narrow goal...usually in response to an emergency situation. Her personnel are highly trained to perform the mission. 16 This scenario BEST illustrates the ____________ impact on mission effectiveness. a. combatant command b. joint task force c. subordinate unified command - answers-b. joint task force RATIONALE: According to the NMO chapter, unlike the CCMD and subordinate unified commands with continuous missions, a JTF is formed to accomplish missions (complete assignments) with a specific, limited objective (precise, narrow goal)...usually in response to a short notice, spontaneous, or unpredictable crisis (emergency situation). CHAPTER: NMO (JW02) SOB: Illustrate NMO concepts and/or their impact on subordinate, SNCO, and mission effectiveness. While briefing at the Joint Air Operations Course, MSgt Keele says, "Here's where we monitor the actual execution of the Air Tasking Order (ATO), organize 17 fluctuations with the JFACC and the Wing Operation Centers, and support other divisions in evaluating the present effort."

CHAPTER: NMO (JW02) 20 actions illustrate training (checking with the UTM to see if anyone has any outstanding tasks that need to be completed) and equipping (scheduling time with each Airman to inspect their gear). During an operation, a CCDR determines that he doesn't have enough air assets to accomplish a specific mission. As a result, assistance is provided from another CCDR. With the additional assets, the CCDR tasked with the mission exercises OPCON to plan and execute it successfully. Once the mission is completed, the borrowed assets are returned to their original CCDR. This scenario BEST illustrates a transfer of forces that are ___________ the supported CCDR. a. assigned to b. attached to c. directly supporting - answers-b. attached to RATIONALE: The forces were attached to the supported CCDR (the commander of the subordinate unified 21 command...tasked with the mission). In the NMO chapter, forces that are attached are temporarily transferred between the commanders. Additionally, the supported commander will exercise OPCON over them. Once the mission is completed, the borrowed assets should be returned to the supporting commander (in this case, the CCDR). In order to provide assistance to a country hit by a devastating tsunami, the CCDR decides to task U.S. forces already assigned to a command geographically located near the disaster with the mission. The CCDR gives that commander OPCON over the joint forces already assigned. The CCDR's actions BEST identify the use of a _______________ as a joint force option. a. JTF b. Combatant Command c. Subordinate Unified Command - answers-c. Subordinate Unified Command 22 RATIONALE: The subordinate unified command already in the AOR should be tasked with the mission.

Humanitarian efforts and disaster relief as two such operations (see the US Forces Japan example). Additionally, subordinate unified commanders are given OPCON over the joint forces already assigned to his/her command. A bombing has occurred in an area known as a hotspot for these types of activities and the President and SecDef want to stabilize this part of the country. The crisis is located in a country that shares its southern border with an ocean. Additionally, the northern border contains mountainous regions that intelligence predicts will be used as a safe haven for those taking responsibly for the bombing. Therefore, the CCDR decides to stand up a JTF to deal with the situation. The CJTF determines there are two areas of operation: air and sea. Based on the CJTF's areas of operation, she should to appoint a ________ and _______. 25 RATIONALE: According to the NMO chapter, MSgt Smith's Airmen are in Tempo Band C.

MSgt Isaac's actions are associated with these responsibilities. CMSgt Decker tells his training instructors that even though they're considered an institutional force and don't represent a warfighting capability, they're still inherently deployable. Therefore, he advises them to 27 check vMPF to find out what Tempo Band they're assigned to so they know when they might be vulnerable for a deployment. He ends by saying, "Remember, we're Airmen. Even though you're in a special duty assignment, you must be ready to support the joint force at all times. The more ready you are, the more useful you'll be to a joint force commander." CMSgt Decker's comments BEST explain the __________ and its impact on mission effectiveness. a. AEF concept b. AETF c. JTF - answers-a. AEF concept RATIONALE: According to the NMO chapter, the AEF is the force generation construct used to manage the battle rhythm of Air Force forces. The AEF structure has four elements, Readily Available Forces, Enabler Forces, In-Place Support forces, and Institutional Forces. Since the technical school instructors are in a special duty assignment, they're apart of the Institutional Force. But, since individuals in this force are still deployable, CMSgt Decker advises them to check to make sure they 30 c. Crisis Action Planning - answers-b.

CHAPTER: Nuclear Enterprise (JW05) SOB: Identify Nuclear Enterprise concepts and/or their impacts on subordinate, SNCO, and mission effectiveness. While giving the unit's in-processing briefing, MSgt Williams says, "In this unit, we balance safety against operational effectiveness through positive measures that reduce the likelihood of unauthorized acts. Even though history has demonstrated our measures are not an absolute guarantee, we do know they provide acceptable assurance for continuing safe operations. In addition, although we consider our personnel 47 trustworthy and loyal, we also rely on our procedures and facilities to secure against loss or theft. Finally, because any violation of the rules could compromise operations, we always work in pairs." MSgt Williams' briefing BEST explains elements of nuclear ________ impact on mission effectiveness. a. surety and its b. lessons learned and their c. deterrence and its - answers-a. surety and its RATIONALE: According to the Nuclear Enterprise chapter, the goal of nuclear surety "applies to all materiel, personnel, and procedures that contribute to the safety, security, reliability, and control of nuclear weapons, thus assuring that no nuclear accidents, incidents, loss, unauthorized or accidental detonations, or degradation in performance occur."
