"The JFO is a multiagency coordination center established at the field level. The JFO is the primary hub for coordination of Federal, state, local, tribal, private, and nongovernmental organizations to manage the CBRNE incident. The JFO is a temporary Federal facility established locally to coordinate operational Federal assistance activities to the affected jurisdiction(s) during incidents of national significance. Other Federal operations centers or operational entities, to include the JTF headquarters, also collocate at the JFO whenever possible. In the event collocation is not practical, the JTF headquarters will be connected virtually to the JFO and will assign liaisons to the JFO to facilitate the coordination of Federal incident management and assistance efforts. There are three organization components within the JFO - the coordination group, coordination staff, and sections". (JCS/DOD, CBRNE CM, 2006, II-17)
