Thanks to the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of October 4, 1986, the United States joint force evolved from individual services competing for precious resources and conducting planning and operations in service stovepipes to the current Unified Command Plan construct. It reorganized geographic combatant commands and created functional combatant commands responsible for overseeing all military planning and operations in their respective area of responsibilities (AOR). The overarching motivation for these reforms was to attempt to correct unity of effort failings experienced in the Korean War and Vietnam War. (footnote 1) Combatant Command authority allows these commanders to dynamically organize their forces to maximize operational effectiveness, particularly through the establishment of Joint Task Forces (JTFs) or Sub-Unified Commands.
