A. A command headquarters representing all four services, including Department of Defense civilians and contractors, oversees the command's operationally focused global strategic mission. The command is organized under a modified J-code structure as follows: J J1 (Manpower and Personnel) - develops and administers USSTRATCOM command manpower and personnel policies, human resources, and personnel assignment programs. J3 (Global Operations) - coordinates the planning, employment and operation of DoD strategic assets and combines all current operations, global command and control and intelligence operations.
J5 (Plans and Policy) - responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of national security policy as it applies to the command and the execution of its mission. Develops future concepts and policy formulation for military space operations; global strike; information operations; global missile defense; and command and control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance as outlined in the most recent Unified Command Plan. Integrates and synchronizes deliberate planning efforts across all USSTRATCOM missions. Prepares and maintains the nation's strategic nuclear war plan, and provides integrated global strike planning to deliver rapid, extended range, precision kinetic (nuclear and conventional) and non-kinetic (elements of space and information operations) effects in support of theater and national objectives. Performs day-to-day activities required for crisis-action and deliberate planning and execution, with updates to plans as necessary. J8 (Capability and Resource Integration) - conducts force
management and analysis to include integrating, coordinating,
prioritizing , and advocating USSTRATCOM future concepts, mission
capability needs, weapons system development, support for emerging
technologies, and command and control architecture across the mission
areas. Responsible for the articulation and development of all command
requirement processes to ensure that USSTRATCOM has the tools to
accomplish its mission, and ensures appropriate decision support tools
and assessment processes are in place to enhance operational
capabilities. The directorate includes comptroller support, concepts and
experimentation, and force assessments. USSTRATCOM exercises command authority over various task forces and service components in support of the command's mission. During day-to-day operations, service component commanders retain primary responsibility for maintaining the readiness of USSTRATCOM forces and performing their assigned functions. Their primary function is to provide organized, trained, and equipped forces for employment when called upon to support USSTRATCOM's global mission. A. The men and women of USSTRATCOM come from all four services -- Air Force, Navy, Army, and Marines — and include Guard and Reserve members, Department of Defense civilians and contractors. Thus, the command is a unified command. This concept allows USSTRATCOM to adapt to the changing international political and military landscape with all military branches providing key input and recommendations. A. The history and legacy of strategic and space operations is represented in the U.S. Strategic Command emblem. The gauntlet is a symbol of strength, power, and loyalty and represents the command’s partnership with science and industry. The lightning bolts symbolize lethality and speed while the olive branch is a constant reminder of the command’s mission of securing the objectives of peace. The globe, as viewed from space, symbolizes the earth as being the origin and control point for all space vehicles and represents the command’s span of operations. Encompassing the globe are orbital paths crossed diagonally, each bearing two polestars, detailed white, representing the command’s satellite platforms and their worldwide coverage in accomplishing the intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, communications, early warning, and navigation missions. The various emblem colors represent the joint character and rigor of the command. Green represents the command’s land-based strategic and space command and control infrastructure. The blue command designation band represents the command’s air-based and responsive ballistic missile force, agile bomber assets, aerial refueling, reconnaissance aircraft, and airborne command platforms. The emblem’s design is surrounded by a gold braid, which represents a nautical theme to recognize the command’s survivable sea-based ballistic submarine forces. The two sets of four silver stars between the lettering represent the command’s leadership as well as the fusion of the four armed services into a unified command with a strategic global perspective.
