DOD is a MATRIX organization that integrates • Geographically across functions for joint warfighting• Functionally across regions for global effectiveness
The keys to matrix organization success are:• Clear responsibilities and commensurate authorities ( the UCP)• Means to resolve priorities at the “intersections” ( “supported / supporting”)• Effective coordination and communication ( SecDef, JS and CC-CC coord)

Unified Command PlanUnified Command Plan
USC Title 10, Sec 161 directs the Chairman “to periodically review (not less often than every two years) the missions, responsibilities (including geographic boundaries), and force structure of each combatant command; and recommend to the President, through the Secretary of Defense, any changes to such missions, responsibilities, and force structures as may be necessary.”
The Unified Command Plan is the vehicle by which this is accomplished

Modified USELEMNORAD LanguageModified USELEMNORAD Language
Change: Provide USNORTHCOM authority to use USELEMNORAD forces for non-NORAD unilateral missions.
Goal:
– Provide CDR USNORTHCOM the ability to rapidly respond to air defense threats and execute air defense missions.
Rationale: UCP 2002 established USNORTHCOM. UCP 2004 removed USELEMNORAD as the instrument through which US air defense forces were employed in a unilateral action. However, UCP 2004 did not provide USNORTHCOM with authority to employ US forces in this same type of mission.
UCP 2006 Language: “As the senior US officer assigned to NORAD, CDRUSNORTHCOM is designated as CDRUSELEMNORAD. US forces made available for NORAD are assigned or attached to CDRUSELEMNORAD IAW section 162 of title 10 and may be utilized by CDRUSNORTHCOM for US unilateral, non-NORAD operations.”
