How about I tell you once, then remind you once, after that, I'll assume you either don't care or are too stupid to get it, and bring my baseball bat so we can try a different message delivery technique. If I have to tell you six times, one of us is going to be dead or incarcerated.
The CJSOTF had liaisons at the air component command and IIRC, the air component had a liaison at the CJSOTF to coordinate and deconflict missions.
I would not be so quick to point the finger at any specific unit and assess blame for failure to communicate.
At one point in OEF, the US Air Force had killed more SF troops than the Taliban, and almost killed Karzai. I really don't care what a REMF AF maintenance unit commander thinks. I can tell him that six times, in six different ways, but I do not think he will like it, or be mission capable afterwards.
