This paper addresses the problems which the U.S. Navy would encounter as Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC). Problems are discussed via JCS Pub 3-01.2 and the responsibilities that a JFACC is delegated by the Joint Force Commander. The discussions include planning, coordination, allocation and tasking of available air assets. Main problems analyzed are staffing, berthing, EMCON, creation/distribution of Air Tasking Order (ATO) and communications. The Conclusion objectively states that U.S. Navy cannot effectively carry out assigned responsibilities of JFACC. Recommendations include the establishment of ATO course to familiarize naval aviators to the ATO process and that the Navy should assume JFACC during major joint operations to identify shortcomings.
