Again, strategic line of communication, at this point, is a CANOSCOM responsibility. The requirements or the activities—again, I'm a supporting commander to CEFCOM, for instance, with the Afghan mission. As they conduct the retrograde of materiel, people, and equipment out of Afghanistan, I do the supporting plan. What happens in the joint operations area of Afghanistan is clearly for the mission transition task force, under General Chuck Lamarre, who responds to the commander of CEFCOM. Then, I support the commander of CEFCOM likewise by running the strategic line of communications, as indicated.
