ScopeThis publication provides doctrine and principles for planning and executing Deployment , jointreception, staging , onward movement, and integration (JRSOI), and Redeployment of the Armed Forcesof the United States. It explains the Deployment , JRSOI, and Redeployment processes, and planningand execution considerations that may impact United States force projection Operations . It discussesthe responsibilities and command relationships for supported and supporting combatant commands andServices, and the interaction with other Department of Defense and federal agencies, foreign nations,allies, multinational organizations, and other PurposeThis 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 theUnited States in Operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for USmilitary involvement in multinational Operations .

2 It provides military guidance for the exercise of authorityby combatant commanders (CCDRs) and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes jointdoctrine for Operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces inpreparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFCfrom organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate toensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall Applicationa. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the commanders of combatant commands,subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, and the 3-35b. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed exceptwhen, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise.

3 If conflicts arisebetween the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication willtake precedence unless the CJCS, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefsof Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part ofa multinational (alliance or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and proceduresratified by the United States.

8 The Deployment process begins withplanning for force projection under contingency planning or in acrisis. The operation plan (OPLAN) contains a deploymentconcept and may contain time-phased force and Deployment data(TPFDD) that identifies force requirements and flows the forcesinto the theater as required by the concept of Operations (CONOPS). Deployment Operations enable joint forces toconduct campaigns, major Operations , and to respond to othercontingencies by securing positional advantages that contributeto the achievement of operational and strategic any given time there could be multiple requirements to employmilitary forces. Each operation could have a different strategicpriority, and could be of a different size and scope. To effectivelysupport multiple requirements, and apply the right level of priorityand resources to each, requires effective global joint Deployment process is divided into four iterative andoften simultaneous phases: planning, predeployment activities,movement, and joint reception , staging , onward movement, andintegration (JRSOI).

9 XExecutive SummaryJP 3-35 Deployment planning occurs during both Joint OperationPlanning and Execution System contingency planning and crisisaction planning. It is conducted at all command levels and byboth the supported and supporting commanders. Deploymentplanning activities include all action required to plan for thedeployment and employment of activities are all actions taken by the joint planningand execution community, before actual movement, to prepare toexecute a Deployment operation. It includes continued refinement ofOPLANs, from the strategic to the tactical level at the supported andsupporting commands. It includes sourcing forces, completion ofoperation specific training, and mission includes the movement of self-deploying units andthose that require lift support. It includes movements within thecontinental US, deployments within an area of responsibility(AOR), and end-to-end origin to destination strategic , is the critical link between Deployment and employmentof the joint forces in the operation area.
