Appendix C
TRANSITION SEA-BASED & LAND-BASED JFACC
1. Overview
In the course of conducting exercise or contingency air operations, it may become
necessary to transfer JFACC responsibility for planning and executing the ATO. This
appendix provides the basic requirements for conducting that transfer. Specifically, it
identifies the different scenarios under which a transfer would occur, the data required to
ensure that the new JFACC can immediately assume planning activities, the methods and
timeline in which to conduct the transfer, and special considerations affecting the transfer.
The theater combatant commanders and their respective CONOPS should specify theater-
specific JFACC transfer procedures. The methods for conducting JFACC transition
described in this appendix assume reader familiarity with TBMCS terminology.
2. Scenarios
Since we cannot dictate the conditions for all contingency operations, it is impossible to
predict which service may initially assume JFACC responsibility in a given situation. Once
the operation is underway, conditions/objectives may require a transfer of JFACC
responsibility from the initial unit/service. A transfer of JFACC responsibilities from one
service or command center to another may be required in any theater of operations at any
time. Operationally, seven transfer scenarios are possible: (1) USAF to USN, (2) USN to
USAF, (3) USAF to USMC, (4) USMC to USAF, (5) USN to USMC, (6) USMC to USN, (7)
same service transfer.
3. Data Requirements
All JAOCs should use this information to plan for such transfer operations and tailor
the procedures as the environment changes. This will ensure that the gaining JFACC will
be able to assume responsibility for ATO production and execution with minimum
disruption to air operations. Timing of file transfers is situation dependent, but where
possible, should follow the ATO planning cycle. These procedures assume that the gaining
JFACC will already have a mature intelligence database for the theater and that the
JFACC will manually synchronize the database with the intelligence data transferred from
the relinquishing JFACC. The general data elements required to transfer JFACC
responsibility are as follows:
a. Planning data (Advanced Planning System [APS]).
b. Airspace data (Airspace Deconfliction System [ADS]).
c. Operations data (Computer-Assisted Force Management System-X Windows
[CAFMS-X]).
d. Targeting data (Joint Targeting Toolbox [JTT]).
e. Order of battle (OB) data (SAA/TBMCS; NIPS/JMCIS).
f. Configuration/security data.
C-1
4. Method of Transfer
Transfer of the nonintelligence databases (APS, ADS, CAFMS-X, configuration/security)
occurs primarily through a simple backup and recovery file procedure, although a master
system backup and recovery procedure can also be used. Both functions are compatible
among all systems/scenarios. This is not true, however, for the transfer of intelligence data.
Due to the incompatibility of the intelligence systems used, special procedures are required
to transfer the necessary intelligence tables between systems.
5. Notional JFACC Transfer Timeline
a. Transfer of data occurs along the ATO timeline. This process can be summarized as
follows:
(1) JFC guidance.
(2) RECCE inputs.
(3) Component target nominations (Candidate Target Lists [CTL]).
(4) Target nomination list (TNL).
(5) Airspace deconfliction (ACO).
(6) Planning Stage (air battle plan—[ABP]).
(a) JFACC Guidance.
(b) MAAP.
(c) Support sortie development (AETACS, alert).
(d) ATO production/component direct sorties.
(e) Airspace adjustments to support MAAP.
(f) Transmit ATO/ACO (assumes JFACC approval).
(g) Transfer ATO to operations.
(h) Execute ATO (CAFMS-X).
b. Procedures are based on the notional JFACC data transfer plan based on a 24-hour
planning cycle. Based on this example, the JFACCs would:
Table C-1. Sample JFACC Transfer Plan
DAY 0
Gaining JFACC receives JFC guidance
Relinquishing JFACC transfers intelligence collection management plan (nonautomated)
and current intelligence and planning data to new JFACC
DAY 1
Gaining JFACC builds the TNL for ATO K (Table 2)
DAY 2
Gaining JFACC combat plans uses the TNL and transferred planning data to build the
ABP and produce ATO K (Table 2)
DAY 2-3
Between Day 2 and 3, execution authority is transferred from the relinquishing JFACC to
the gaining JFACC.
DAY 3
Gaining JFACC executes ATO K
c. There are numerous variations to this plan (Table C-1). In an emergency JFACC
transfer, all data could be sent simultaneously. To facilitate unplanned JFACC transfers, it

may be necessary to perform daily backup, storage, and/or transfer of data to possible
gaining JFACC locations. Table C-2 reflects a sample data transfer schedule:

6. Transfer of Intelligence Database
The military intelligence integrated database (MIDB) is the standard database for
General Military Intelligence, Orders of Battle, and some target intelligence. The gaining
JFACC should also receive local files from the relinquishing JFACC’s JTT. If planned
correctly, the MIDB permissions to read-write to the targeting fields through JTT will
already be established as well as other appropriate MIDB fields. MIDB replication will
ensure that national, theater, and component databases are the same.
