The UK has several options for JEF command and control under the Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) Group; they are scalable and flexible to match the requirements of the activity.
The Standing Joint Force Headquarters (SJFHQ) is the UK nominated permanent JEF Operational HQ. The SJFHQ is joint, international and inter-agency by design. It provides operational liaison and reconnaissance teams on immediate notice to deploy, a dedicated HQ on 24 hours’ notice to move and a joint logistics HQ. @SJFHQ_UK
As part of the UK Integrated Warfare Centre, the JEF Secretariat is responsible for the routine management and administration of the JEF, and for cohering activity and information across all Framework Nation organisations and JEF Participant Nations.
