EXECUTIVE SUMMARY JTF LIAISON HANDBOOK Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Joint Task Force (JTF) Liaison Operations Liaison Officers (LNOs) LNOs facilitate the communication maintained between elements of a JTF to ensure mutual understanding and unity of purpose and action. Liaison is the most commonly employed technique for establishing and maintaining close, continuous, physical communication between commands. Typically, LNOs are exchanged between higher, lower, and adjacent units. When working in a combined forces environment, liaison assignment should be reciprocal. Additionally, LNOs may be provided from government agencies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations (IOs), or private voluntary organizations (PVOs). The primary focus of this publication is LNO exchange from a component to a JTF staff.
