It depend on the Service that will be assign when needed but some how rather it also depend on the JCC (Joint Chief Committee). The troops all belong to Single Service Chief. If the Service Chiefs does not allow their troops and assets to be assign to JFHQ, what is the role of CDF? Even the Service Chief does not favor the joint concept. It is very complicated since the joint will depend solely on Single Service. The real story forming up the JFHQ is just to get the 'stars' appointments. That is the reality.Zalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389933073821651976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-79487230729096350642008-10-10T12:45:00.000+08:002008-10-10T12:45:00.000+08:00The Joint Forces HQ as I understand it works on an...The Joint Forces HQ as I understand it works on an assigned forces concept, with component commander from individual service, and one joint commander from JFHQ<BR/>each joint task force is task-oriented and not permanent (no permanent attachment to JFHQ)<BR/>all current and future ops involving more than one service (or potentially will involve more than one) will be under JFHQ<BR/>eg, the current UNIFIL in LebanonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492962307771127608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-82643012212374232732008-07-16T21:49:00.000+08:002008-07-16T21:49:00.000+08:00Only individual who some or rather made a mistake ...Only individual who some or rather made a mistake of joining The Armed Forces before would understand what you are talking about. <BR/><BR/>Dont explode your mind to assist the existing PAT to think about how to defend this country as it is proven on record that we Malaysian especially Johorean have lost an island by a stroke of a pen. What did the Armed Forces do to defend the rest of our islands "tidor" that is what they did. The Armed Forces dont even know their jurisdiction and power during peace time. Read the Federal Constitution and Akta Angkatan Tentera 1972 before u talk about Joint Forces HQ and what not. Look at the Armed Forces position now vis to vis the Police who dont have YDP Agong as their Supreme Commander.Other organisation like Rela,JPJ,Bomba,Kastam,BPR and the rest now is happily wearing the same stars that u wear before and claim their position to be equivalent and same status as Armed Forces General. Again the Generals "tidor" like their political master "cari makan".<BR/><BR/>The Malaysian Armed Forces should be free to demarcate its own Defence Policy rather than copy its counterpart in Australia, as we have different background,different policy,different enemies,different threat etc etc..........I believe in home grown theory relevant to Malaysian environment.Jawatan Kuasa Panglima Panglima please think (if they still in existence).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-63937685532290117192008-07-13T23:46:00.000+08:002008-07-13T23:46:00.000+08:00Dear Maurice, Both your comments are extremely val...Dear Maurice, <BR/><BR/>Both your comments are extremely valid. These are issues that the Armed Forces has to resolve, if indeed the nations wants to have a credible joint force. I do hope some guys from the Armed Forces do read your comments.Mohd Arshad Rajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280406045497460630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-41657696857939906552008-07-13T20:34:00.000+08:002008-07-13T20:34:00.000+08:00The Joint Force HQ is best suited when there a nee...The Joint Force HQ is best suited when there a need to conduct operations involving the participation of more than one service on a piece-meal basis within and outside our national territory.<BR/><BR/>For example if one of Petronas oil-rigs in the EEZ is held hostage by a Lanun Force, then the Joint Force HQ will need to deploy its joint special operations group to rescue it.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand if one our islands in the EEZ is occupied by a hostile force, then the Joint Force HQ will need to conduct a bigger operation involving the Army, Navy and Air Force components to repel the hostile forces.This is where the challenge is, to make the joint forces operations workable in times of conflicts.There is a lot of work, sweat and money involved here to put the required joint systems in place such as the intelligence systems, operational procedures and tactics, common user equipment, communications systems, logistics support etc, etc.It is a mind-bogling problems which will test the limit of the military leadership.<BR/><BR/>The Joint Force HQ concept is unlikely to be suitable for the general defence of Malaysia.We need a national composition HQ for this purpose.mauricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683620510088068290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-20984152651066455272008-07-13T16:40:00.000+08:002008-07-13T16:40:00.000+08:00Really a good move to have Joint Force HQ responsi...Really a good move to have Joint Force HQ responsible for special forces operations.It would optimize our military resources and economy of effort at the highest level of command.<BR/><BR/>It would be interesting to see how this is going to be done since the Commandos, PASCAL and PASCAU are currently under the command of the respective Army, Navy and Air Force Chiefs.Would elements of the above be assigned on rotational basis to the Joinf Force HQ by the respective service? Or the Joint Force HQ to have its own dedicated special forces operations group.<BR/><BR/>I anticipate the military planners will weight the pros and cons of the options available to them and adopt an approach that would be cost-effective and enhance further the level of inter-service cooperation to a greater height of success.mauricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683620510088068290noreply@blogger.com
