The JMOCC has a number of cross-Government partners each with their own priorities, each of whom retain command and control of their various assets. The role of the JMOOCC is to respond to tasking requests, facilitate a discussion with all agencies to agree relative priorities and capability allocation. Each partner organisation owns the risk and decision on whether their capabilities are allocated.
