Joint communications planners are given a variety of responsibilities when given a mission to support a Joint Task Force Commander. In view of the principles of joint communications planning and these mission responsibilities, the Army's divisional signal battalions are not equipped or manned to accomplish this task. Joint communications doctrine and the supporting Army doctrine assigned a tactical support mission to these signal units. Despite these facts, the 10th Signal Battalion of the 10th Mountain Division was assigned missions to support operational forces. The experiences of the 10th Signal Battalion in both Somalia and Haiti detail the difficulties that occur when units are assigned missions they were not designed to accomplish.
