In my mind's eye I see the JMC at odds with the OPD and the FBI in Orlando (I'll write up the FBI contingent later). As the insurgent Seminoles and New America seem hell-bent on killing everyone in Orlando who won't side with them, the population is crammed mostly into downtown Orlando and relies on the police for "inner" protection, while the JMC defends the "borders".
The JMC relies on what little contact it has with the JCS for direction; promises of reinforcements and more reliable communication with JCS have been made for "the future". The JCS realizes it has a potentially huge asset in reclaiming and rebuilding the South in Central Florida and will do what it can in the future to capitalize on that. For now, all the JMC can do is act for the "common weal" and hope for the best.
As to governmental structure, the Mayor of Orange County (yes, we have a county mayor) has placed the police, county sheriff (including Seminole county sheriffs : that county is almost entirely abandoned and without Orange County and the JMC's help the few people left there would be dead, and the huge amount of avgas at Sanford Int'l Airport in the hands of New America or the Seminoles or bandits) under his direction "for the duration of the emergency". While on paper people can still appeal to local officials, and there are community elections and representatives, the Orange County government is for all intents and purposes a (mostly) benevolent dictatorship.
As pointed out there's still plenty of "local" government: gangbangers have their own fiefdoms in southwest Orlando, White Separatists unwilling or unable to join with New America control northwest Orange County, etc.
