Abstract : This monograph examines the potentially of creating a rapid deployable joint task force augmentation cell (DJTFAC) in the newly created United States Northern Command (NORTHCOM) to facilitate providing military support to civil authorities (MACA) during consequence management (CM) operations. It examines the complex domestic operational environment created by the interaction and friction of geography and regional dynamics, the political realm, social expectation, and legal constraints inherent to interagency operations at the federal, state, and local levels, while operating within NORTHCOM's AOR. The monograph introduces the concept of the Deployable Joint Task Force Augmentation Cell (DJTFAC) as an option for the combatant commander to facilitate CM operations of his standing or designated joint task forces. It uses the USPACOM and USSOUTHCOM models to illustrate the capabilities and limitations of this type of organizations.
