Operation Provide Comfort, perhaps the most challenging humanitarian relief effort ever, commenced in April 1991, six weeks after the end of Desert Storm. At the conclusion of its first phase three months later, 23,000 personnel, 30 nations, and 50 relief agencies had demonstrated the potential power of an effective coalition. Combined Task Force (CTF) Provide Comfort established a new standard of excellence in coalition command structure and command relationships. Unique in several aspects of lead nation command, the CTF organizational framework most notably differed from doctrinal models in its task-force orientation of five functional component commands and its effective employment of tactical control (TACON). A detailed analysis of the leadership aspects of Provide Comfort leads to a proposal for a new model for lead nation command of coalition operations.
