3) A supporting commander's missions may not always align with the supported commander's priorities. What best practice addresses this problem? [objective233]
The supporting commander must expect that sometimes the support he or she provides to the supported commander may have a higher priority than his or her own missions. Therefore, the supporting commander should provide the support and internally resolve any unintended consequences.
The supporting commander should recognize that the support he or she provides to the supported commander may have an even higher priority than his or her own missions. He/she should address to both the supported commander and/or establishing authority any real or perceived risks to planned or ongoing missions.
The supported commander should understand that his or her priorities will sometimes conflict with those of the supporting commander. Therefore, the supported commander should align his or her priorities to avoid these conflicts.
Conflicts between supported and supporting commander mission priorities are rare. The supporting commander must immediately address any conflicts directly to the establishing authority for resolution.

The actions of battlespace owners (BSOs) operating with host-nations and non-coalition partners are significantly limited unless joint task force commanders provide the BSO with "coordinating authority."
Host nation and non-coalition players may not recognize or heed the military-centric viewpoint of BSO joint operating areas (JOA) and areas of operation (AO).
Host nations and non-coalition partners do not cooperate with military commanders because they distrust the intentions of the U.S. [Show Less]
