Operational Contract Support

04 March 2019

PREFACE

1. Scope

This publication provides fundamental principles and guidance for planning,

executing, and managing operational contract support in all phases of joint operations.

2. Purpose

This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint

Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance

of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations, and it provides considerations

for military interaction with governmental and nongovernmental agencies, multinational

forces, and other interorganizational partners. It provides military guidance for the exercise

of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs), and

prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. It provides military guidance for use

by the Armed Forces in preparing and executing their plans and orders. It is not the intent

of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and

executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort

in the accomplishment of objectives.

3. Application

a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the Joint Staff, commanders

of combatant commands, subordinate unified commands, joint task forces, subordinate

components of these commands, the Services, and combat support agencies.

b. This doctrine constitutes official advice concerning the enclosed subject matter;

however, the judgment of the commander is paramount in all situations.

c. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service

publications, this publication will take precedence unless the CJCS, normally in

coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current

and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part of a multinational (alliance

or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and procedures

ratified by the United States. For doctrine and procedures not ratified by the United States,

commanders should evaluate and follow the multinational command¡¯s doctrine and

procedures, where applicable and consistent with US law, regulations, and doctrine.

For the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

DANIEL J. O¡¯DONOHUE

Lieutenant General, USMC

Director, Joint Force Development
