Who holds the overall responsibility for mission accomplishment during OCS?

The overall responsibility for mission accomplishment during Operational Contract Support (OCS) is held by the Commander. This is because the Commander is the individual who is ultimately accountable for the mission's success and the effective use of all available resources, including contracted support. The Commander sets the operational priorities and objectives, and their leadership is critical in ensuring that the mission aligns with the strategic goals of the organization.

In OCS, while various parties such as contracting support organizations and contractors play vital roles in executing specific tasks, they operate under the direction and authority of the Commander. The Commander coordinates and integrates all aspects of the operation, ensuring that contract support effectively meets the mission needs and contributes to overall success.
