This instruction implements AFPD 10-4, Operations Planning: Air & Space Expeditionary
Force (AEF) and AFI 10-401, Air Force Operations Planning and Execution. It provides the
basic requirements for Air Force deployment planning and execution at all levels of command to
support contingency and exercise deployment operations. This instruction applies to all Major
Commands (MAJCOMs), Air National Guard (ANG), field operating agencies (FOA), direct
reporting units (DRU), and Air Force civilian personnel. This guidance directly supports the
Installation Commander to effectively and efficiently deploy forces in support of Operational
Plans, AEF taskings, lesser contingency operations, exercises, and other operational/training
events. Information on Global Force Management (GFM) and AEF implementation, processes,
and procedures contained within this instruction are for informational purposes only; the source
documents for Air Force support to GFM and AEF guidance are AFPD 10-4 and AFI 10-401.
This instruction requires the collection and/or maintenance of information protected by the
Privacy Act of 1974. The authority to collect and/or maintain the records prescribed in this
instruction is Title 10 U.S.C. Forms affected by the Privacy Act have an appropriate Privacy Act

Chapter 1
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Section 1A—Department of Defense
1.1. General. Effective deployment planning and execution capabilities extend our operational
limits, thereby allowing us to anticipate requirements while remaining flexible, adaptable and
responsive to changing conditions. Every Airman must continue to understand our ever-
evolving AEF construct and how roles and responsibilities represent essential components of any
military activity. This instruction not only provides an authoritative basis for the subsequent
development of education, training, logistics and procedures, it serves as a conceptual framework
for understanding and practicing effective deployment planning and execution to Airmen at all
levels of command.
1.2. Secretary of Defense (SecDef).
1.2.1. Pursuant to his responsibilities set out in 10 USC §162, SecDef and the 2010-2012
Guidance for Employment of the Force (GEF) approves the Global Force Management
Allocation Plan (GFMAP), which authorizes Combatant Commanders (CCDR) and
Secretaries of the military Departments to deploy forces to support CCDR requirements.
GFM is the process the SecDef and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) use
to assign forces to CCDRs for mission accomplishment and allocate additional forces to
CCDRs in the event of contingency operationsand apportion forces for CCDR planning
in the event contingency operations escalate.
1.2.2. Has adjudication authority for prioritizing competing CCDR requirements,
approving force allocation actions, transferring operational control to supported
commander by attaching forces, and making the determination to surge or limit forces.
1.3. Combatant Commander (CCDR).
1.3.1. Submits requirements for rotational, exercise, contingency, and Individual
Augmentee (IA) forces throughout the annual GFM Rotational Force Allocation Process.
1.3.2. Submist Request For Forces and Request For Capabilities (RFF/RFC) through the
GFM process to accomplish assigned missions in accordance with CJCSM 3122.01A,
Enclosure R, JOPES Volume I (Planning Policies and Procedures), and CJCSM
3122.02C, Appendix A to Enclosure F, JOPES Volume III (Crisis Action TPFDD
Development and Deployment Execution.
1.4. Director of Operations, Joint Staff (JCS/J3).
1.4.1. Designates the Joint Staff (JS/J31) as the Global Conventional Joint Force
Coordinator (JFC) to execute all conventional force sourcing/coordination actions
previously executed by CDRUSJFCOM IAW GFM Implementation Guidance
(GFMIG),.
1.4.2. In coordination with the Services, orchestrates the force flow of allocated units.
1.4.3. Designates USTRANSCOM as the Joint Force Provider (JFP) for mobility forces
1.4.4. Designates USSOCOM as the JFP for special operations forces.
