Det One's mission is to provide administrative and logistical functions in support of JPAC operations and conduct command and control operations in the Kingdom of Thailand, the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Republic of India and Burma. With a forward operating logistics location at the Royal Thai Naval Air Base in U'tapao, Thailand, JPAC is able to utilize host country facilities for transit of personnel and pre-positioning of equipment.
LTC Craig J. Tippins, U.S. Army, is the current commander of Det One. He is supported by three military personnel and five civilians.
