Champ pushes military frustration to highest level in decades
2015-11-06
[Wash Times] Key lawmakers from both parties say frustration with the White House among the top military officers is at its highest level in decades, the product of President Obama's cautious approach to the wars in Syria and Iraq and an indecisive inner circle of White House advisers who, critics say, have iced the Pentagon out of the policymaking process.

"There's a level of dissatisfaction among the uniformed military that I've never seen in my time here," said Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain in an interview. "For some of us who are a little older, let's go back and read the Pentagon Papers -- what the administration is doing is the kind of incrementalism that defined much of the Vietnam conflict."
"Frustrated" yes, but split along conventional and unconventional lines. Reaping the sad harvest of the Goldwater-Nichols Act, and a segment of DoD co-opted by separate funding and Klingon puppet masters.

#1  SOF was originally designed and is still designated in Joint Publication 3-05 as an 'Army Corps Commander's Asset.' It was never intended to be a stand-alone warfighter or Direct Action element of another gov't agency.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES (SOF)

Corps operations impact and are influenced by SOF actions. Within the corps G3 there is a special operations coordinator (SOCOORD) element, This functional staff cell exists to advise and integrate SOF capabilities by coordinating with SOF elements. Joint Publication 3-05 contains more information regarding this cell's structure and functions.

When the corps headquarters acts as JTF HQ, it generally includes a joint special operations task force (JSOTF) in lieu of a special operations command (SOC). The JSOTF coordinates all SOF, less PSYOP, within the joint operations area (JOA). A joint psychological operations task force normally coordinates and supports the PSYOP campaign plan throughout the JOA. (See JP 3-05 and JP 3-53 for details.)

When working for a JFLCC or a numbered army commander, the corps uses its organic SOCOORD element to stay advised of and to interface with SOF. The corps submits its special operations target and mission requests to the joint targeting coordination board (JTCB).

The SOCOORD simultaneously conducts informal coordination with the special operations command and control element (SOCCE). If the corps' AO encompasses a special forces operating area, a SOCCE may be under the corps' tactical control. This SOCCE serves as a battle command element and operates a tactical operations center (TOC).
