Who uses the Universal Joint Task List (UJTL) to develop Joint Mission Essential Task Lists (JMETLs)?

The Universal Joint Task List (UJTL) serves as a comprehensive framework that outlines the tasks necessary for achieving joint military operations. Combatant commanders leverage the UJTL to develop Joint Mission Essential Task Lists (JMETLs) that are specific to their operational responsibilities and the unique environments in which they operate. This process ensures that the tasks listed in the JMETLs are directly derived from the broader UJTL, maintaining alignment with higher-level objectives and capabilities.

By utilizing the UJTL, combatant commanders can effectively identify, prioritize, and organize the essential tasks that their forces need to accomplish in order to meet mission requirements. This structured approach facilitates comprehensive training, exercises, and operational planning, ensuring that all participating units are prepared to perform their designated roles within joint operations.
