what does "C+12" mean in U.S. military?
I read this sentence today:
The USPACOM J6 did not request JCSE until C+12 and they would not have even arrived until C+20 due to deployment phasing.

I understood almost all of them, except "C+12" &"C+20", would anyone who knows its meaning is willing to tell me? Thank you :)

Answer

This seems to relate to your other questions about Disaster Relief. 


Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE) 
USPACOM The United States Pacific Command 

and they would not even have arrived...implies that they never arrived. 

I am guessing that C = Crisis 
C +12 = 12 days after the Crisis 
C + 20 = 20 days after the Crisis 

They called for the communications support too late for it to do any good, so it was never sent.
