U.S. Joint Forces Command's Joint Enabling Capabilities Command (JECC) has deployed personnel to support international humanitarian efforts in response to the crisis in Libya, according to a JFCOM statement. Further:

Thirty-seven members from the JECC's Joint Deployable Team, the Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE), and the Joint Public Affairs Support Element are providing planning, operational, knowledge management, logistics, public affairs and communication expertise, to support U.S. Africa Command's (USAFRICOM) efforts as part of the international community's response to civil unrest in Libya.

Additionally, the JECC coordinated support of additional USJFCOM capabilities from the Operations, Plans, Logistics and Engineering Directorate (J3/4), the Joint Deployment Training Center, the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency and the Joint Intelligence Operations Center to meet the requirements of this mission.

The JECC's assistance is part of the U.S. military's support to a larger U.S. government emergency response which includes close coordination with the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development and other international organizations.

The JECC also will support the joint information bureau (JIB) in Souda Bay, Crete, Greece, a satellite JIB in Sigonella, Italy, and assist in the establishment of Joint Task Force (JTF) - Odyssey Dawn, led by U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa.
