In most cases, joint bases have interservice support agreements (ISSAs) to govern how the host provides services to the tenants.
[2] In addition, several other uses of the term "joint" are used in names of bases in the United States military[clarification needed] and are described below.
The JRBs are examples of typical military host–tenant relationships, in which support provided to the tenants by the host is codified in an ISSA as dictated by DOD Policy.
The BRAC Report created 12 joint bases from 26 service installations that were in close proximity or shared a boundary.
[7] The joint basing program represents Department of Defense (DoD) efforts to optimize the delivery of installation support across the services.
The framework of JB-COLS provides a common language to serve as a basis for (1) developing common output levels for each function of installation support at joint bases and (2) developing service-wide capability-based planning models for all installation support functions.
