COG is dependent on effective continuity of operations, plans, and capabilities. DoD COG activities involve ensuring continuity of delegations of authority (where permissible, and in accordance with applicable law); the safekeeping of vital resources, facilities, and records; the improvisation or emergency acquisition of vital resources necessary for the performance of Mission Essential Functions (MEF); and the capability to relocate essential personnel and functions to, and sustain performance of MEF at, alternate work sites(s) until normal operations can be resumed. Continuity of Operations (COOP). The degree or state of being continuous in the conduct of functions, tasks, or duties necessary to accomplish a military action or mission in carrying out the national military strategy. COOP includes the functions and duties of the commander, as well as the supporting functions and duties performed by the staff and others acting under the authority and direction of the commander. COOP is also an internal effort within individual components of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government assuring the capability exists to continue uninterrupted essential component functions across a wide range of potential emergencies, including localized acts of nature, accidents, and technological or attack-related emergencies. COOP involves plans and capabilities covering the same functional objectives of COG, must be maintained at a high level of readiness, and be capable of implementation both with and without warning.

A grouping of government and certain privatesector capabilities into an organizational structure to provide the support, resources, program implementation, and services that are most likely to be needed to save lives, protect property and the environment, restore essential services and critical infrastructure, and help victims and communities return to normal, when feasible, following domestic incidents. The ESFs serve as the primary operational-level mechanism to provide assistance to State, local, and tribal governments or to Federal departments and agencies conducting missions of primary Federal responsibility. The NRP employs a functional approach that groups under 15 ESFs the types of direct Federal assistance that a State is likely to need (e.g., mass care, health services), as well as the kinds of Federal operations support necessary to sustain Federal response actions (e.g., transportation, communications). ESFs support one another in carrying out their respective missions. For example, a large-scale natural disaster or massive terrorist event may require the activation of all ESFs. A localized flood or tornado might only require activation of a select number of ESFs. Each ESF is headed by a primary agency designated on the basis of its authorities, resources and capabilities in that functional area. ESF #1: Transportation ESF #2: Communications ESF #3: Public Works and Engineering ESF #4: Firefighting ESF #5: Emergency Management ESF #6: Mass Care, Housing, and Human Services ESF #7: Resource Support ESF #8: Public Health and Medical Services ESF #9: Urban Search and Rescue ESF #10: Oil and Hazardous Materials Response ESF #11: Agriculture and Natural Resources ESF #12: Energy ESF #13: Public Safety and Security ESF #14: Long-Term Community Recovery ESF #15: External Affairs End State.

39 ARNORTH LOGISTIC REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. PURPOSE: The Logistics Status (LOGSTAT) Report provides visibility of unit s logistics posture and assists in building the Logistics Common Operating Picture (LCOP). LOGSTAT provides a means for supporting elements to determine unit requirements, forecast logistics requirements, synchronize logistics movements, and publish information that improves situational awareness at multiple echelons of support. 2. APPLICABILITY: This policy applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard and the Army Reserve deployed within USNORTHCOM Joint Operational Area (JOA), unless otherwise stated. During preparations for USNORTHCOM s contingency operations, the proponent may modify plans and policies referenced with this document. 3. PROCESS: The primary method for submitting LOGSTAT is the Army s Battle Command Sustainment Support System (BCS3). Units without BCS3 support will utilize the locally designed LOGSTAT Spreadsheet as an alternate method. Instruction for this spreadsheet is listed below in paragraph 7-9. a. Units will use the Logistics Reporting Tool (LRT) in BCS3 to report supply and maintenance status. Units will dedicate resources, personnel, and time to establish BCS3 Operations during phase I and leverage BCS3 LRT to submit their reports. b. Each Unit OPCON to ARNORTH will submit their LOGSTAT to the Task Force in which they are task organized. Each Task Force consolidates subordinate unit s LOGSTAT into one report. Separate units submit their own LOGSTAT report. c. The consolidated LOGSTAT Report will be submitted by the TF and separate unit to the 167 th TCS SPO.

56 Chapter 7: Information and Knowledge Management (IM/KM) Plan Information and Knowledge Management Processes. The goal is to provide the right information/knowledge, in the right format, at the right time, to the right person (decision maker or staff member) in order for that individual to make a decision or take required action. The Joint Force Land Component Command (JFLCC) for U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) will be effective in information and knowledge management in order to gain information and knowledge superiority. All organizations within the JFLCC should be prepared to operate on NIPRNet and/or SIPRNet utilizing the information systems dependent on the classification of the information. Vet and Corroborate Incoming Information: Action officers throughout the JFLCC Main Command Post (MCP) and subordinate units (DCE, CCP, and JTFs) will primarily communicate and corroborate/vet information via Defense Connect Online (DCO) Jabber Chat. When information is received via other means, i.e., Phone, Fax, , Face to Face, etc., they will be entered into the appropriate DCO Jabber Chat room. See DCO Jabber Chat paragraph for specific room requirements. Post Vetted Information to the JFLCC OPS Web Log: The Battle Captain within the ARNORTH Operations Center (AOC) will ensure vetted/corroborated key elements of information are posted on the JFLCC Web Log within the Operational Portal Dashboard (See FIG 1). The DCE and CCP will also post their vetted/corroborated key elements of information on their Web Log located within the Operational Portal Dashboard under the Common Operational Picture (COP). At the JFLCC MCP, Adaptive Battle Staff Centers and staff divisions will coordinate through the AOC Battle Captain to ensure their vetted/corroborated information/knowledge is posted to the command s Web Log. Post Key Documents to the Portal: The JFLCC Adaptive Battle Staff(s), DCE(s) and JTF(s) will ensure key information documents are posted to the Operational Portal Dashboard. Key documents include: Orders, Situation Reports (SITREP), Commander Update Briefs (CUBs), Battle Rhythm, Commander s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR), Operation Plans, Intelligence Summary (INTSUM), and the Primary Federal Agency s Mission Assignments (MA) or Request for Assistance (RFA) to DoD. See Operational Portal Dashboard next page. Significant Activity and Announcement Posting: As significant activities (SIGACTS) occur during an operation, the JFLCC Battle Captain will post the SIGACT at the top of the Operational Portal Dashboard in the web part labeled Significant Activities; a Date-Time- Group will precede the SIGACT. SIGACTS are either a CCIR trip or designated by the J-3 or command group. Announcements are defined as general information that affects the command and will be posted in the upper corner of the Operational Portal Dashboard under the web part labeled Announcements. See Operational Portal Dashboard next page. 7-1

57 Staff Tasking Management: When the JFLCC Leadership assigns tasks during CUBs or Adaptive Battle Staff Boards, i.e., Future Plans or Future OPS Boards, the tasks will be posted to the Operational Portal Dashboard (See Figure 1) under Staff Tasking Log by the appropriate Board or by the Battle Captain for all tasks from the CUB or O&I. The Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for the task will update the Staff tasking Log when the task is completed and brief the JFLCC Leadership at the appropriate suspense given. See Operational Portal Dashboard below. Figure 1 7-2

58 Present Information/Knowledge to the Commander: The DCE, JTF and JFLCC MCP Adaptive Battle Staff Centers/Division Chiefs will present key information and knowledge to the commander during the Battle Rhythm events listed below. The DCE and JTF will present the information/knowledge in a Storyboard format; see Common Operational Picture (COP) paragraphs on pages and for specific requirements for the Storyboard. 1) Morning CUB will be an Operational update focused on key information/knowledge from the G-2 (Threat Awareness Center), G-3 (Current and Future Operation Centers), G5 (Future Plans Center), DCO, JTF CDR, NORTHCOM LNO, HQDA LNO. 2) Evening CUB will be with the same participants as the morning CUB plus the addition of other Staff Divisions by exception. Adaptive Battle Staff Centers and Staff Division Chiefs will coordinate with the AOC Battle Captain NLT two hours prior to the brief for inclusion in the evening brief. 3) Adaptive Battle Staff Center Board will be scheduled thru the JFLCC Chief of Staff. Each Adaptive Battle Staff Center has the opportunity to present key information/knowledge or a decision brief to the Command Group via the coordinated Board. As a routine, the Future Plans Center (FPC) normally conducts a daily board with the Command Group per the Battle Rhythm coordinated time. Commander s Update Brief (CUB). 1) CUB or O&I are normally scheduled at 0800 and 1600 Central Time (followed by the NC CSAM or CUB), check the Battle Rhythm for the actual time. 2) CUB slides will be submitted to the J-33 Battle Captain normally at 0530 and 1330 Central Time, check the Battle Rhythm for the actual time. 3) Battle Staff Sections will post their slide input to the Operational Portal Dashboard under the CUB button in the appropriate Staff Section folder. The J-33 will pull the slides and consolidate them into the brief. This applies to both the NIPR and SIPR portals. 4) Rehearsal to the CUB and Shift Change brief take place approximately one hour and 45 minutes prior to each event. Purpose is to review the brief and obtain concurrence/updates from individuals on the AOC floor. 5) Once the CUB presentation is finalized, it will be posted to the JFLCC Operational Portal Dashboard under CUB and in the AM or PM CUB folder. Target time to have the brief finalized is 30 minutes prior to the start of the CUB; this allows the DCO s, LNO s and deployed JTF s to pull the slides prior to the brief. 7-3

59 Priority of Means to Participate in JFLCC CUBs, Boards and Working Group Meetings: The means to participate in the JFLCC CUBs, Boards and Working Groups, by priority, are as follows: Face to Face, Video Teleconference (VTC), DCO Virtual Meeting, and Teleconference. VTC participation will be coordinated through the JFLCC bridge at or (210) or The unclassified voice bridge is (210) The classified bridge is (210) (Call ARNORTH KM Team at for Secure Bridge instructions) The primary DCO meeting room to view all CUBS/meetings is the ARNORTH COS Huddle meeting room, contact the ARNORTH Watch Team at to get invited, or click on following link and attend as a guest Document Key Elements of Information/Knowledge during Board and Working Group Meetings: After each Adaptive Battle Staff Center Board or Working Group (WG), the Board or WG will document the result of the meeting with a one or two page Executive Summary (EXSUM) (See Figure 2) that will include the following key elements of information/knowledge: 1) Command Group Decisions or Guidance, 2) Staff Taskings and 3) Brief Summary of information/knowledge presented. This document will be posted on the Operational Portal Dashboard, located under the COP, in the web part labeled Adaptive Battle Center Products. See sample Executive Summary below (EXSUM). Figure 2 7-4

60 Request for Information (RFI) (Non threat): An RFI is any specific time sensitive ad hoc requirement for operational information or intelligence information to support a Civil Support or Homeland Defense (HD) operation. The RFI process is the primary way for the DCO, JTF Commander, and Adaptive battle Staff Centers to obtain information they need for planning and decision making. Prior to submitting an RFI the DCE, JTF and JFLCC staff will make effort at their level to answer the RFI by coordinating with their lower, adjacent and higher staff headquarters. If, they cannot obtain the answer and the information is required for a commander s decision, the So What Test, the RFI will be submitted to the JFLCC RFI Manager using the following URL: %20to%20submit%20RFI/JFLCC- ARNORTH%20RFI%20Request%20(Non%20Threat).msg. Once into the Pre-Formatted RFI , follow instructions. If the above URL does not work, use the direct link located on the right side of the Event Portal Page Labeled: RFI Submittal (Click Below ICON to submit RFI) Once an RFI is validated by the JFLCC RFI Manager, he or she will forward the RFI to NORTHCOM, HQDA or the appropriate organization to answer the RFI. An operational RFI can be monitored on the JFLCC Operational Portal Dashboard. Request for Information (RFI) Intelligence: Requests for Information (RFI). USARNORTH G-2 responds to intelligence/threat RFIs from internal/external customers and subordinate elements (note this does not include "friendly" CONUS-based capabilities for DSCA purposes as this poses Intelligence Oversight challenges). Before submitting an RFI, customers should research and/or interface with their organic intelligence capability. If the intelligence requirement cannot be resolved at the Reporting/Supporting Command G-2, and it is related to USARNORTH mission requirements, the RFI is forwarded to USARNORTH G-2. All intelligence requirements should be informally coordinated between G-2s and respective S2s before RFI submission. If the request cannot be answered by USARNORTH G-2, it is forwarded through USNORTHCOM or DA to the appropriate agency. RFIs may be submitted to USARNORTH G-2 via COLISEUM or via SIPRNET web page (primary) at or for DSCA events, via an event-specific sub-page to be established on the G-2 NIPR portal at The ARNORTH DAIIS portal on JWICS is also available at CRM will manage/track the satisfaction of the RFI and provide responses to the requestor. The status will be shown on the SharePoint RFI portal and where possible, the response will be posted there as well to allow visibility to other customers. Request for Forces or Capability (RFF/RFC): As the commander in the incident area (DCO or JTF) identifies a requirement for additional forces or capabilities; the JTF will submit the RFF via the Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM) to the JFLCC and the DCO will submit an RFF or RFC via to the JFLCC MCP RFF Manager, in the J-33 Land of the AOC, DL ARNORTHLANDOPS@conus.army.mil Follow up with a phone call at (210) or The The RFF or RFC will include a "Power Point slide" including the five W (s): Who, What, When, Where and Why. At the JFLCC MCP, RFF(s) can be entered into the Joint Capability Requirements Manager (JCRM) by the FPC, FOC or AOC RFF Manager. At the 7-5

61 FPC and FOC during the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) as RFF or RFC requirements become known they will enter them in JCRM. Commander s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR): The CCIR (See Figure 3) is designed to feed important, time-sensitive information to the commander so he can make a decision that should dramatically affect the operation. All members of the command should be familiar with the CCIRs which are posted on the Operational Portal Dashboard. As the CCIR becomes known, the information should be sent immediately to the JFLCC AOC Battle Captain to be forwarded to the JFLCC Commander through the J-3 and CoS; the Battle Captain will use the crosswalk table below to notify the appropriate command personnel. The CCIR is dynamic and changes to the CCIR are normally recommended to the Commander in the FPC or Future Operations Center (FOC) during the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) process. When the JFLCC Commander approves a change to the CCIR notify the JFLCC AOC Battle Captain to update the CCIR. Figure 3 7-6

62 Common Operational Picture (COP): The primary viewer for the unclassified COP will be Google Earth; the primary viewer for the classified COP will be either C2PC, GCCS ICSIF or CPOF. 1) The JFLCC Main will maintain the command s COP. The COP could consist of the following graphical depictions: a. JTF(s) and DCE(s) Storyboard. b.

64 Battle Rhythm will describe those events that the JFLCC conducts on a recurring basis that facilitates setting the conditions for success. Many factors help determine and establish the JFLCC's Battle Rhythm. Some of these factors are our current mission and the Battle Rhythm of NORTHCOM, HQDA and our interagency mission partners. The Battle Rhythm will be flexible. Adaptive Battle Staff Centers will provide input to the Battle Rhythm to the JFLCC AOC Battle Captain. Figure 5 7-9

65 MA and RFA Processing: The DCE will enter ARFs and MA(s) in DDASS as they are given to DoD for action. DCE or JTF, dependent on who has C2, will update the system for mission tracking. 1) DCE and the JTF MA Manager will monitor the ARNORTH and N-NC Mission Assignments Coordination chat room for clarification or coordination issues relating to MAs. 2) DCE and the JTF MA Manager BPT participate in a NORTHCOM sponsored MA scrub at 1400 CDT. 3) If FEMA issues a General or Broad MA and a Mission Assignment Tasking Order (MATO), with each MATO add an alpha character, in sequence, starting with a after the General or Broad MA number (Prefix the a with a dash - ), i.e., 7720SU-TX-DOD-01-a. 4) On all MAs indicate if Sourcing is required or not required, above the JTF level, in the remarks field of the Request Data tab. Meaning the JTF has or does not have a sourcing solution for that particular MA or MATO. 5) When an MA is converted from a Surge (SU) MA to an Emergency (EM) or Major Disaster Declaration (DR) MA indicate this in the remarks field of the Request Data tab. Commander s Communications Strategy: During civil support and HD operations the Strategic Communication themes and messages will be published through the Public Affairs Office (PAO) in coordination with NORTHCOM. All JFLCC personnel should be familiar with these themes and messages as we strive to speak with one voice and to provide public confidence in the U.S. ability to respond to the incident. The Commander s Communication Strategy will be posted to the Operational Portal Dashboard under the web part labeled Adaptive Battle Center Products. Information Operations (IO): During civil support and HD operations it will be imperative that we maximize our efforts from a communications and operational perspective to protect our information and information systems from transnational and domestic threats (to include individual actors and organizations) in order to maintain information assurance and preserve our ability to effectively communicate and collaborate while enabling our domestic response and HD efforts. JFLCC organizations should be familiar with OPSEC and Information Assurance procedures as outlined in AR (Operations Security), USARNORTH OPSEC Command Policy Letter #7, and AR 25-2 (Information Assurance). 7-10

66 Information Assurance and Data Transfer across Security Domains: Conducting data transfer across security domains must be done accurately to ensure integrity and absolute security of the source information and to prevent spillage incidents. Careless methods, shortcuts, and untrained users will compromise sensitive and classified information. Only individuals on appointment orders are authorized to perform or oversee the transfer process. A copy of appointment orders are on file with the Information Assurance Manager (IAM) in J-6. Transferring Unclassified Information on the SIPRNET to NIPRNET 1) Every effort will be made to obtain the document from the originator or distributor on the NIPRNET. 2) If originator cannot send data on NIPRNET, the current acceptable data transfer technique is: 3) Obtain approval (fax or ) from the sender or originator before taking any transfer actions. 4) Perform an MS-Office search on the document for words such as SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL, (S), (C), /S, or /C. 5) Print the document(s) and conduct a page-by-page human review (at least two individuals) to verify the there is no classified information. DO NOT assume a document marked as Unclassified is Unclassified it could have been incorrectly marked. 6) Scan and create an image or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) formatted image(s) and redistribute on the NIPRNET. Note: If the document is required in the original application that the information was on, i.e., PowerPoint, then coordinate with the Knowledge Management section for use of the Document Detective software program. Transferring Unclassified Information on the NIPRNET to SIPRNET 1) Format the CD to be used in the data transfer on the unclassified system. 2) Copy the file to the CD. Run a virus check on the file and media while it remains on the NIPRNet system. 3) Insert the CD into the classified system. 4) Run another virus check on the file(s) to be copied. 5) Copy the data from the unclassified CD onto the SIPRNet. 6) Remove the CD from the classified system. 7) Mark the CD with a Secret label and store accordingly or destroy the CD. The CD is now classified Secret and cannot be used in unclassified (NIPRNet) media. Spillage Procedures when Classified Information is sent on an Unclassified Network 1) Immediately isolate affected systems and disconnect network cables. Also include any peripheral devices, i.e., Blackberry(s), removable media, printers, etc. 2) Restrict physical access to the system until security manager provides guidance. 7-11

67 3) Contact your supervisor and security manager immediately; ensure the command s Security Manager at (210) , NETOPS and the Information Assurance Manager at (210) or 1384 are notified. Foreign Disclosure of Information/Knowledge: The command s Foreign Disclosure Office is the located in the G-2 and is also the Command s Security Manager. Prior to information or knowledge being released to Mexican or Canadian officials the JFLCC Foreign Disclosure Officer (FDO) will be consulted. The JFLCC FDO can be contacted via at casey.j.gates6.civ@mail.mil phone at (210) or anthony.r.camera.civ@mail.mil Phone at (210) Lessons Learned: During an operation or exercise the JFLCC J7 Lessons Learned Manager will post AAR and observations from like operations and exercises in the Operational Portal Dashboard under AAR Lessons Learned button. It is imperative that each organization take the appropriate time to review these AARs and observations. Additionally, they should conduct a Hot Wash and/or After Action Review after each operation and exercise and submit to JFLCC J7, Lessons Learned Manager. The end product will be maintained by the JFLCC J7. JFLCC organizations should periodically review the documented AARs/observations/documents/Action Plans posted in the USARNORTH Lessons Learned Site and Joint Lessons Learned Information System to ensure corrective actions are performed and training is conducted to assist them in the review of their Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) and training objectives. Training: DCE, JTF and JFLCC organizations will train on the IM/KM Plan and IM/KM tools to ensure proficiency. Monthly the JFLCC KM section conducts new user and refreshing training on the IM/KM tools and processes in the AOC. The CCP(s), DCE and REPLO teams can coordinate for virtual and/or on hand training with the IM/KM section chief. Social Media (Public Web Site, Twitter and Face book, etc): The JFLCC Public Affairs Officer in coordination with the JFLCC Chief Knowledge Officer, J-3 Information Operations Officer, J-2 Command Security Manager and the J-6 Web Administrator will post data, information and knowledge to the DoD approved social media sites and the JFLCC Public Web Site. 7-12

73 Chapter 8: Adaptive Battle Staff Battle Staff Primary Nodes. The ARNORTH Adaptive Headquarters/Battle Staff is organized into five primary nodes or functional centers. These primary nodes consist of like functional processes, responsibilities and expertise. Each Center is led by an O- 6/GS-15 Director, who provides overarching leadership and serves as the designated process owner for their respective Battle Staff Group functions. The Primary Staff Director, indicated in parentheses after the below-listed functions, currently serves as its respective director: Operations Center (Director: G-3 CHOPS) Future Operations Center (Director: G-35) Future Plans Center (Director: G-5) Threat Situational Awareness Center (Director: G-2) Sustainment Coordination Board(Director: G-4) Chief of Staff. The ARNORTH Chief of Staff leads and directs the ARNORTH Adaptive Headquarters/Battle Staff. He ensures the synchronization of products from boards, centers, cell, and working groups and the staff posts these products on the ARNORTH portal for others to pull down. He also ensures the ARNORTH Battle Rhythm depicts when the groups and cells convene for each type of crisis so that critical information flows in a timely manner to the appropriate decision makers. Centers. Centers are standing organizations meeting and conducting major planning or operations business. Centers perform 24-hour operations on a continuous basis during normal and contingency operations, or are stood up to perform 24-hour Battle Staff operations on an as-needed basis. Centers normally have an assigned work area with specialized equipment (e.g., network management tools, analysis software and hardware) or secure area for classified information processing (e.g., Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility [SCIF]). Support Nodes. Support nodes include boards, cells and working groups designed to increase the effectiveness of cross functional collaboration and interaction among the Battle Staff in support of group processes. All support nodes are assigned to a primary Center, with responsibility and accountability to the center s Director. Center Directors determine the type and number of subordinate support nodes needed to accomplish their respective center s Battle Staff functional responsibilities. Each support node is led by a Chief. The following ARNORTH support node definitions were derived from the U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) Command Glossary: Boards. Boards are non-standing organizations with designated membership meeting as required to conduct their business. A typical board has a charter and is headed by a senior officer (O-6, Government Service [GS]-15 or above). 8-1

74 Working Groups/Cells. Working groups and Cells are mission-tailored, non-standing organizations for a specific event or action. Working Groups provide input to groups, centers, boards and cells. A typical board has a charter and is headed by a senior officer (O-6/O-5, Government Service [GS]-13 or above). Crisis and Contingency Operations. During an incident, the CDRUSARNORTH, Chief of Staff or G-3 will decide if a selective or full Battle Staff recall is required. If required, the ARNORTH Current Operations Integration Center will initiate the appropriate level recall. Once the battle staff is assembled, the Battle Staff Primary Nodes convert from groups to centers if appropriate. Additionally, the Plans Group converts into the Future Plans Center and the staff provides personnel to establish the Future Operations Center, which is lead by the Chief, G-35. The Future Plans Center and Future Operations Center share low density staff support until augmented by the JMD. The major Battle Staff Nodes and their Support Nodes are responsible for the following operations during a crisis: Approved USARNORTH MCP Battlestaff during Crisis Operations 5 Threat Information Fusion Cell Joint Collection WG G2 Led Threat Situational Awareness Center Joint Collection Management Board (JCMB) OCP / JTF G5 Led Future Plans Center PMO Led Decision CEB/CCB Assessment Threat WG G35 Led Future Operations Center Environmental Information WG Decision CEB/CCB Assessment G3 COPS Led Operations Center Knowledge Management WG Land/Air /Maritime Cell Watch DCO/E JRSOI G4 Led (Joint) Movement Cell Joint Sustainment Center Network Operations Center G6 Led Medical (Joint) Patient Operations Movement Requirement Cell Center OSURG Led Theater Enablers USARNORTH 41 Figure 3 USARNORTH Battlestaff (Crisis Operations) Current Operations Integration Center: Task Maintain Situational awareness on USARNORTH current operations and exercise mission command through communications and orders.

86 Chapter 9: Planning Process The planning process is an orderly, analytical process, which consists of a set of logical steps to examine a mission; develop, analyze, and compare alternative COA; select the best COA; and produce a plan or order. It focuses on defining the military mission and development and synchronization of detailed plans to accomplish the mission. The process consists of the following 7 key steps: 1. Planning Initiation 2. Mission Analysis 3. Course of Action (COA) Development 4. COA Analysis and War Gaming 5. COA Comparison 6. COA Approval 7. Plan/Order Development. As time permits, every effort should be made to accommodate each step to ensure the recommendation is based on sound reasoning and logic and directly supports mission accomplishment. Planning/Decision Cycle: Integral to the planning process is the Planning/Decision cycle. The oval diagram below outlines the daily JFLCC planning battle rhythm during a crisis, beginning with the Commander s Update Brief (CUB) each morning followed by USNORTHCOM s Commander s Situational Awareness Meeting (CSAM). The Future Operations Center (FOC) convenes daily following the morning briefings to address emerging situations, develop future plans, and examine other areas as directed resulting in recommendations for the leadership to use in their decision making. The last major COCOM event of the day is typically USNORTHCOM s Commander s Guidance Meeting (CGM), which provides the JFLCC and subordinate units with guidance and direction. The rectangular diagram below outlines the typical decision cycle. Most decisions begin with recommendations from the FOC, then progress through the chain of command from the G-3 through the CG to the Combatant Commander. These recommendations can be reworked at any stage based on leadership guidance and/or changing situation. Following a decision at the appropriate level, the JFLCC publishes an OPORD or FRAGO to direct execution of the decision. 9-1

87 Decision/Planning Cycle Decisions occur as necessary and usually take 2 days G3 Decision CG Decision CCDR Decision JFLCC issues OPORD/FRAGO DCO/E Units Sustain WG EIWG NC CSAM Brief FOC Daily Cycle CUB NC CGM Brief The FOC is comprised of members from across the JFLCC staff and receives input from other JFLCC cells and as necessary participating units, DCO/E, DSC, and representatives from partner agencies. The primary role of the FOC is to anticipate requirements for the next hours and develop recommendations to fulfill these anticipated requirements. Concept of Employment: Key elements needed by the JFLCC prior to accepting any request are a clear task and purpose, concept of employment, and consideration of other assets already available to accomplish the desired end state. To facilitate providing this information, the Story Board below is the required format for all requests for forces and/or capabilities to the JFLCC. Any request from a subordinate unit to the JFLCC must be accompanied with this template completed with all information. It is essential that the JFLCC understand the task and purpose for whatever the subordinate unit is requesting as well as what assets are currently employed in the area and their respective capacity. 9-2

89 Chapter 10: Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration 1. General This chapter defines the segments, describes the principles and identifies the essential elements of Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration (RSOI) for Title 10 response forces supporting the Joint Force Commander s (JFC) ability to employ joint force capabilities to achieve desired outcomes. RSOI is the essential process that transitions deploying forces, consisting of personnel, equipment, and materiel arriving into the operational area, into cohesive forces capable of meeting the commander s operational requirements. For civil support missions, the Joint Task Force (JTF) providing command and control of the deploying force conducts RSOI, supported by the designated base support installation. RSOI is a critical operational challenge enabled by logistics. RSOI is a set of dynamic and complex processes involving numerous organizations requiring training, continuous coordination, collaboration. 2. Segments of RSOI The ability to execute a mission largely depends on the speed with which deploying forces assemble at the required location and the application of the capability once it is made available to the JFC. Maintaining effectiveness and promoting efficiency in RSOI facilitates preparation for operations by providing adequately resourced, mission-capable forces to execute the CCDR s mission. The four segments of RSOI are described below. 10-1

90 Reception operations include all functions required to receive and clear personnel, equipment, and materiel through the POD. Staging assembles, temporarily holds, and organizes arriving personnel, equipment, and materiel into forces and capabilities and prepares them for onward movement and tactical operations. Onward Movement is the process of moving forces, capabilities, and accompanying materiel from reception facilities, marshalling areas, and staging areas to tactical assembly areas (TAA) and/or operational areas or other theater destinations. Integration is the synchronized transfer of capabilities into an operational commander s force prior to mission execution. 3. RSOI Execution RSOI effectiveness is dependent upon proper Time Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD). Decisions on force mix and sequence are critical, because adjustments after deployments begin become difficult to implement. Moreover, changes cause ripple effects and may seriously disrupt the flow of forces into the Joint Operational Area (JOA). Communication is necessary at all levels, and across all modes and nodes. The communication system must link the combatant commander, the supporting combatant commands, the deploying units, the RSOI providers, and the tactical commanders who will integrate the deploying force into their structures. Mission requirements may cause certain units to be in high demand or necessary for immediate employment. Critical resources like heavy equipment transporters, fuel support, or buses to move personnel may have to be diverted to rapidly move these units. In the course of joint and interagency operations, the Army operates alongside US and non-us government agencies, and non-governmental agencies (NGO). In most cases, these organizations and agencies will compete for space at ports, airfields, and facilities. They will also travel over the same LOC and may require a variety of support from the military. The 167 th Theater Sustainment Command (TSC), as the senior logistics headquarters for sustainment operations in the USNORTHCOM AOR, enables efficient and effective RSOI by deploying forward elements to manage the deployment and redeployment of DOD response forces to and from the JOA. The 167 th TSC coordinates and leverages capabilities from a combination of existing and deployable assets, to include the designated Base Support Installations (BSI) and augmentation forces through the Request for Forces process (RFF). Responding DOD units will undergo some form of reception, staging, onward movement, and integration. Deploying forces may not necessarily flow into the operational area in a doctrinally prescribed fashion through designated points of debarkation (POD) when responding to catastrophic events. Units may have to stage and move directly from their home station installations to the operational area. Multiple lines of communications (LOC) may be used by units responding to Civil Support (CS) operations. The figure below provides an example of a reception area. 10-2

Redeployment is defined as the transfer of forces and materiel to support another joint force commander s operational requirements, or to return personnel, equipment, and materiel to home/demobilization stations for reintegration/outprocessing. Upon release from their mission, units will route through the BSI IOT prepare equipment and personnel for movement to home station or follow-on mission. 167 th TSC will 10-4

95 Chapter 11: The Mission Assignment Process FEMA as the Primary Agency (PA): IAW the National Response Framework (NRF), the local government (City/County) is always in charge of response to an emergency. Once it exceeds its resources, the local government goes to the state for assistance. Once the State resources are exceeded, it submits an Action Request Form (ARF) to FEMA, the Lead Federal Agency, or Primary Agency. If FEMA utilizes DoD or other Federal agencies, it will issue a Mission Assignment (MA) for the specified task. Definition: A mission assignment (MA) is a reimbursable work order issued by FEMA (the Primary Agency during DSCA Operations) to another Federal agency, e.g., DoD, directing the completion of a specified task; see figure 1 below. Figure 1 MA Example Where MAs are produced: Mission Assignments are produced at three locations within FEMA: the Regional Response Coordination Center (RRCC), the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC), or the Joint Field Office (JFO). 11-1

96 Mission Assignments (MA) are tied to PDD: Mission Assignments are given in anticipation of, or response to, a Presidential Disaster Declaration (PDD) of an Emergency or Major Disaster. As a result of this FEMA business practice, DoD could receive three MA for one specified task as the incident develops through the PDD system: 1. Surge MA (prior to PDD, using a surge account) 2. Emergency PDD MA 3. Major Disaster PDD MA In addition to issuing Mission Assignments, FEMA may also determine a request falls within the Statement of Work (SOW) of an existing MA. That request then results in the development of a Mission Assignment Task Order (MATO). Mission Assignment Task Orders are generally used to provide specifics for a broad SOW. Figure 2 MATO Example 11-2

97 Not all MA are issued in support of local and state governments. There are three types of MA: 1. Federal Operations Support (FOS) - requested by Federal Government to support Federal Operations 2. Technical Assistance (TA) expertise requested by State and Local jurisdictions 3. Direct Federal Assistance (DFA) goods and services requested by State and Local jurisdictions A MA can be changed or amended for the following reasons: 1. Time to extend completion date 2. Funding increase or decrease obligated funds 3. Designation of FEMA Project Manager The following FEMA personnel can approve an MA (as a Federal Approving Official, or FAO ): 1. At the RRCC Director, Deputy Director or OPS Chief 2. At the NRCC Director, Manager, Deputy Director or OPS Chief 3. At the JFO FCO, Deputy FCO or OPS Chief DoD Validation and Approval process: 1. Validation: Upon receipt of a MA, the Defense Coordinating Officer (DCO), an ARNORTH Colonel co-located with each FEMA Region, validates the MA using the CARRLL criteria: Cost, Appropriateness, Risk, Readiness, Legality and Lethality. 2. Approval: Approval of a MA rests with the Secretary of Defense. The NORTHCOM and PACOM commanders are given limited approval authority in the Joint Staff Standing DSCA EXORD. 3. The MA is evaluated by the Mission Command element (DCO, Dual Status Commander DSC or JTF CDR) against the existing EXORD and assets assigned. If the capability is on hand or inbound, a MA can be executed with existing forces. If the MA requires additional forces, the JTF CDR forwards the MA to CDR USNORTHCOM/PACOM for action with the Joint Staff and SECDEF approval. 11-3

98 DDASS: DoD DSCA Automated Support System (DDASS), is an unclassified web based system that tracks the MA through the validation and approval process. The system also tracks the operational status of each MA in terms of end date (each MA has a given end date), percentage of task completion, and funding. Figure 3 DDASS Characteristics 11-4

102 Chapter 12: Legal Considerations Standing Rules for the Use of Force (SRUF). General. The Secretary of Defense (SECDEF)-approved SRUF for DOD forces are in Enclosures L and N to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) B, 13 June The SRUF applies to all Title 10 forces performing DSCA and land homeland defense missions but does not apply to State National Guard forces when in a State Active Duty (SAD) or Title 32 status. Commanders have a responsibility to teach and train the SRUF. Units should not deploy from home station for a DSCA mission until commanders ensure their personnel are briefed on SRUF and receive an SRUF card or brochure. The following SECDEF-approved SRUF provide operational guidance and establish fundamental policies and procedures governing the actions of DOD forces performing DSCA missions and routine Service functions (including AT/FP duties) within US territory (including US territorial waters). These SRUF also apply to (1) land homeland defense missions occurring within US territory and (2) to DOD forces, civilians and contractors performing law enforcement and security duties at all DOD installations (and off-installation, while conducting official DOD security functions), within or outside US territory, unless otherwise directed by the SECDEF. Additional examples of these missions, within the US, include (1) protection of critical US infrastructure both on and off DOD installations, (2) military assistance and support to civil authorities, (3) DOD support during civil disturbance and (4) DOD cooperation with Federal, State, and local law enforcement authorities, including counter drug support. The Rules. 1. Unit Self-Defense. A Commander always has the inherent right and obligation to exercise unit self-defense in response to a hostile act or demonstrated hostile intent. 2. Individual Self Defense. A Soldier may exercise individual self-defense in response to a hostile act or demonstrated hostile intent. Rule 2.1: Limit on Self-Defense. A Commander may limit individual self-defense by members of his unit. 3. De-Escalation. When time and circumstances permit, a Soldier will give a threatening force warnings and an opportunity to withdraw or stop the threatening actions before using force. a. Avoid confrontation with individuals who pose no threat to the unit, to non-dod persons in the vicinity, or property secured by DOD forces. 12-1

103 b. Increase self-defense posture and notify civilian law enforcement authorities (CLEA) or security agency personnel as soon as practicable if confrontation appears likely, civilians are acting in a suspicious manner, or immediately after confrontation. 4. Limitations on the Use of Force. A Soldier will use force of any kind only as a last resort and, if used, the force should be the minimum necessary to accomplish the mission. a. Any use of force must be reasonable in intensity, duration, and magnitude to counter the threat based on all circumstances. b. Exercise due regard for the safety of innocent bystanders when using any type of force. c. Warning shots are not authorized. 5. Use of Non-Deadly Force. A Soldier may use non-deadly force to stop a threat and if it is reasonably necessary to control a situation and accomplish the mission; to provide protection for himself and other DOD personnel; to defend non-dod persons in the vicinity, but only IF directly related to the assigned mission; or to defend designated protected property. 6. Use of Deadly Force in Self-Defense, Defense of Others, and Defense of Property. a. A Soldier may use deadly force only when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed AND it reasonably appears necessary to protect DOD forces when a commander reasonably believes a person poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm; to protect yourself and other DOD forces from the imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm; to protect non-dod persons in the vicinity from the imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm, but only IF directly related to the assigned mission; to prevent the actual theft or sabotage of assets vital to national security or inherently dangerous property; and to prevent the sabotage of a national critical infrastructure. b. Use of Deadly Force NOT Authorized. Deadly force is not authorized to disperse a crowd, to stop looting, to enforce a curfew, or to protect non-designated property. 7. Use of Deadly Force Against a Serious Offense. A Soldier may use deadly force, but only IF it is directly related to the assigned mission AND it reasonably appears necessary to prevent a serious crime against any person that involves imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm; to prevent the escape of a prisoner where probable cause indicates he has committed or attempted to commit a serious offense and would pose an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm to DOD forces or others in the vicinity; to arrest or apprehend a person who, there is probable cause to believe, has committed a serious offense that involved imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm or sabotage of designated protected property. 12-2

104 8. Use of Deadly Force Against a Vehicular Threat. A Soldier may fire his weapon at a moving land or water vehicle when he reasonably believes the vehicle poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm to DoD forces or to non-dod persons in the vicinity, but only IF doing so is directly related to the assigned mission. 9. Inspection of Personnel Entering and Exiting Area. A Soldier may inspect individuals and property, per command security guidance, prior to granting that person or property entry inside a DOD perimeter or secured area and upon leaving such an area. An individual or property that does not meet the command security requirements for entry may be denied access inside a DOD perimeter or secured area. 10. Temporary Detention of Threatening Personnel. A Soldier may temporarily detain an individual who has gained unauthorized access inside perimeters or other secured areas; who refuses to depart such an area after being denied access; or who otherwise threatens the safety and security of DOD forces, property secured by DOD forces, or non-dod persons in the vicinity but only IF their defense is directly related to the assigned mission. a. Detained individuals, vehicles, and property may be searched as a force protection measure. b. Detained individuals and any secured property will be released to CLEA at the earliest opportunity consistent with mission accomplishment. 11. Pursuit and Recovery of Stolen Property. A Soldier may pursue and recover stolen assets vital to national security or inherently dangerous property if CLEA or security forces are not reasonably available to recover them, and Commander, USNORTHCOM, has pre-authorized the pursue and recovery mission, and the pursuit is immediate, continuous, and uninterrupted. DOD forces will contact CLEA as soon as practicable to inform them of the theft/pursuit. 12. Report Violations of the SRUF. A Soldier will immediately report any violation of or non-compliance with the SRUF to the chain of command, Inspector General, Judge Advocate, Chaplain, or any commissioned officer with information concerning who, what, when, where, and why. 13. Commander s SRUF Responsibilities. a. Teach and Train. A Commander must teach, train, and implement the SRUF to his or her Soldiers prior to deployment from home station for any mission. b. Unit Self Defense. A Commander retains the inherent right and obligation of unit self-defense and defense of other DOD forces in the vicinity in response to a hostile act or demonstrated hostile intent. 12-3

105 c. Individual Self Defense. A Commander may limit the right of individual selfdefense. d. Coordinate SRUF. A Commander will coordinate the SRUF with CLEA or contract security forces when operating in conjunction with them to ensure a common understanding. Any RUF issues that cannot be resolved will be forwarded to the SECDEF through the chain of command and CJCS. e. Imminent Threat. A Commander will determine if a threat of death or serious bodily harm by an individual or motor vehicle is imminent based on an assessment of all the circumstances. If he or she determines such a threat is imminent, deadly force is authorized to stop the threat. f. Inherently Dangerous Property. A Commander may designate DOD property or property having a DOD connection as inherently dangerous. This includes weapons, ammunition, explosives, portable missiles, rockets, chemical agents, and special nuclear materials. g. Pursue and Recover. A Commander may not authorize forces to pursue and recover stolen assets vital to national security or inherently dangerous property unless delegated this authority by the CDR, USNORTHCOM. Any pursuit must be immediate, continuous, and uninterrupted. h. Mission-specific RUF. A Commander may request SECDEF-approval of missionspecific RUF based on mission requirements through the chain of command and CJCS. A Commander of a unit detailed to another Federal agency will ensure his unit is operating under a common mission-specific RUF approved by the SECDEF and the Federal agency. i. Imposed Restrictions. A Commander may impose restrictions to the SECDEFapproved SRUF or mission-specific RUF, but must notify SECDEF through the chain of command and CJCS of imposing the restrictions as soon as practicable. j. Investigate violations. A Commander will immediately report any suspected violation of or non-compliance with the SRUF through the chain of command to CDR, USNORTHCOM, ATTN: SJA; investigate any suspected violation of or non-compliance with the SRUF; and preserve all evidence. Arming Authority. DOD personnel are not authorized to carry individual service weapons during a DSCA mission unless authorized by the SECDEF or DOD Directive When the SECDEF authorizes the carrying of weapons, the CCDR retains the authority to establish the arming level/weapons status policy. 12-4

106 The Posse Comitatus Act (PCA). Title 18 USC 1385 prohibits active duty members of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps from performing law enforcement (LE) functions, unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or an Act of Congress. a. Applicability. (1) The PCA prohibitions also apply to members of the Reserves when in an active duty (Title 10) status, and civilian and contract personnel under the command and control of a Title 10 officer. (2) The PCA prohibitions do not apply to members of the National Guard when in a non-federal status, either State Active Duty (SAD) or Title 32. It also does not apply to members of the Coast Guard at any time or to any service member when acting in his or her private capacity. b. Functions Prohibited. The types of direct/active law enforcement functions the PCA prohibits are: arrest, apprehension, search, seizure, surveillance, security patrols, traffic control, crowd control, riot control, evidence collection, interrogation, acting as an undercover agent, and any other similar activity where the DOD person subsumes the role of a LE agent. c. Constitutional Exceptions. The Constitutional exceptions to the PCA reside with the President when he determines DOD forces are needed to perform LE functions in order to (IOT) support his obligations under the Constitution to respond promptly in time of war, insurrection, or other serious national emergency. He could exercise this Constitutional exception by issuing a National Emergency Declaration (Commander s Emergency Authority is derived from the President s authority to respond to a civil disturbance) or Martial Law Proclamation. d. Congressional Exceptions. There are at least 30 Acts of Congress that create exceptions to the PCA. The 5 primary exceptions are: (1) Military Support for Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies (MSCLEA) (Title 10 USC ). MSCLEA allows the SECDEF or his designee (see Enclosure 4 to DOD Directive ) to approve indirect, passive support to civilian LE authorities, such as providing information concerning a violation of State or Federal laws, loaning military equipment, providing personnel to operate and/or maintain the loaned equipment, and providing basic training or expert advice. (2) Military Purpose Doctrine. Title 10 USC 375 allows DOD forces who are performing a military function to provide an incidental benefit to LE authorities as well, such as a security patrol to protect DOD equipment and property located off a military installation that also serves as a deterrent to any criminal activity in the area. 12-5

107 (3) Civil Disturbance Operations. The Insurrection Statutes (Title 10 USC ) allow the President to use DOD forces to restore law and order in a State under 3 circumstances: Insurrection against a State Government when requested by the State Legislator or, if not in session, the State Governor; Rebellion against the U.S. Government that makes it impracticable to enforce U.S. laws by judicial proceedings; or Domestic violence that hinders the execution of Federal or State laws that protect individual Constitutional rights and the State is either unable or refuses to provide protection. (4) Chemical or Biological Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) (Title 10 USC 382) allows the SECDEF and Attorney General to jointly determine an emergency exists and then allows the SECDEF to provide DOD forces to the Attorney General to detect, disable, dispose of any type of WMD and to perform LE functions when necessary for the immediate protection of human life and civilian LE authorities are not capable of taking action. (5) Prohibited Transactions Involving Nuclear Materials (Title 18 USC 831) allows the SECDEF and Attorney General to jointly determine an emergency exists and then allows the SECDEF to provide DOD forces to the Attorney General to perform certain LE functions to prevent the unlawful possession, transfer, use, disposal, or dispersal of nuclear material. General Order Number One. In the absence of a General Order issued by Commander, United States Northern Command, the Commander, ARNORTH, may publish a General Order Number One that will identify conduct prejudicial to the maintenance of good order and discipline and measures that will enhance the force protection for all DOD personnel participating in a DSCA operation under his command or control. Critical Infrastructure Protection. DOD personnel may protect non-dod-owned critical infrastructure only under the direction of the appropriate approving authority. a. The President. The private sector owns most of the U.S. critical infrastructures and is capable of providing protection. DOD personnel can protect non-dodowned critical infrastructure if the President determines its protection is a homeland defense (HLD) operation, which he can authorize as Commander-in- Chief under Article II of the Constitution. The restrictions of the PCA (See paragraph H.5, above) do not apply to HLD operations. b. The SECDEF. Authority to protect non-dod-owned critical infrastructure is also held by the SECDEF and the Combatant Commanders IAW DOD Directive Paragraph 13b in Enclosure 2 states Combatant Commanders shall: For non-dod-owned Defense Critical Infrastructures (DCI) within their assigned areas of responsibility (AOR), in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the USD(P) [Under Secretary of Defense (Policy)], act to prevent or mitigate the loss or degradation of DCI only at the direction of the Secretary of Defense, with the exception of responding to a sudden and 12-6

108 unexpected event where only military forces are able to prevent significant damage to mission-critical infrastructure, and where circumstances preclude obtaining prior authorization from the SECDEF or the President. Promptly report any action taken to the National Military Command Center. c. DOD-Owned Critical Assets. IAW paragraph 13a of Enclosure 2 of DOD Directive , Combatant Commanders through the CJCS and in coordination with the DOD asset owner, may act to prevent or mitigate the loss of degradation of DOD-owned critical assets within their assigned AORs. d. SRUF Application. IAW Enclosure L to CJCSI B, the SRUF apply to CIP operations. Before any T10 forces can use deadly force to protect any infrastructure or asset, the President must first designate it as either a national critical infrastructure or asset vital to national security. Although not directly involving non-dod-owned critical infrastructures, an on-scene commander may designate certain property as inherently dangerous property and direct that deadly force be used to protect it. For examples of each of these categories, see Enclosure L to CJCSI B. Gaining Situational Awareness (SA) through Imagery. Gaining SA through imagery in the homeland raises special Intelligence Oversight (IO) and Sensitive Information (SI) legal issues due to the applicability of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and laws protecting privacy rights of U.S. Persons (USP) in the homeland, rather than in OCONUS theaters in which such legal constraints seldom apply. Too often commanders seek to employ aerial intelligence assets and/or personnel, commonly known as Intelligence Awareness and Assessment (IAA), during operations in the homeland as a first resort to develop SA. However, the approval process to employ IAA in the homeland can often take too long to be a practical means to gain SA. Instead, commanders should first consider the capabilities listed in the CJCS DSCA EXORD to obtain imagery before jumping to the employment of IAA. For more on this issue, see Chapter 17 to this TACSOP, or contact the ARNORTH OSJA and/or ARNORTH G-2. Theater Security Cooperation. The United States and Canada are both members of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). No such SOFA exists between the United States and Mexico or the British Virgin Islands. 12-7

114 Chapter 13 USARNORTH JFLCC TACSOP, as of 15 Jul 13 G-8 (Resource Management) Resource Management. The G-8 section consists of 23 military and civilian personnel arrayed to support HD/CS operations to include support to employed DCO/Es, the ARNORTH Reimbursement Cell (ARC), and the Main Command Post (MCP). The G-8 provides financial management support to deployed DCO/Es and supports the ARC which manages the Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) reimbursable process. All other G-8 personnel will support MCP and G-8 day-to-day operations. Main Command Post Operations. The main command post is primarily responsible for planning, coordination, and administrative control over all Army forces forward-stationed, transiting, or deployed to the NORTHCOM AOR. The theater army fulfills these responsibilities by allocating resources and delegating missions to subordinate theater enabling commands or brigades, which conduct the detailed planning and execution. The G-8 operations officer must understand the operating environment and maintain situational awareness of all activities in order to synchronize activities between the MCP, ARC, and DCO/E augmentee. DCO/DCE Operations. The DCO can request a G-8 augmentee through the ARNORTH G3. Generally, the G-8 will augment up to two DCO/DCEs while the remaining DCO/DCEs are supported by reach back. Once deployed, the DCO Augmentee(s) will synchronize activities with the ARNORTH Reimbursement Cell (ARC) and the MCP. The G-8 augmentee is the financial manager for the DCO/E and provides resource management support and financial analysis. ARNORTH Reimbursement Cell (ARC). During contingency operations, the ARNORTH Reimbursement Cell (ARC) will perform Financial Management (FM) responsibilities on behalf of NORTHCOM to include processing, recording, issuing, and monitoring Reimbursable Budget Authority (RBA). At a time when the complexity of the response dictates, reimbursable operations will transition to the NORTHCOM Financial Management Augmentation Team (FMAT). 13-6

115 Chapter 13 Surgeon The JFLCC/ARNORTH Surgeon (SG) reports directly to the commander, through the Chief of Staff. As member of the JLCC/ARNORTH Commander s personal staff, the Surgeon is the principal staff medical advisor to the Commander on Force Health Protection (FHP), Health Service Support (HSS) matters, and the employment of medical forces. The Surgeon is responsible for organizing the staff to enhance the effectiveness of HSS. This core staff consists of the authorized positions listed in the ARNORTH TDA/MTOE. When the JMOC is stood up the core surgeon staff will be augmented as required by additional personnel in order to ensure the Office of the Surgeon Staff is resourced to conduct and execute JFLCC/ARNORTH tasks. The augmentees will be drawn from all services so that the staff is reasonably balanced in numbers of personnel, service, and in order to effectively facilitate the following activities for the Surgeon: a. Health Service Support and the distribution of medical units to ensure Casualty Management (Level I/Role1 through Level III/Role 3) to include Force Health Protection and Health Service Support aspect of Joint, CBRN, and DSCA operations. b. Health Information Management including standardization and interoperability of medical capability, information technology, and material in order to mitigate the effects of variance and present a common operational picture. c. Patient Movement mission consisting of MEDEVAC (ground/air) and medical regulating from point of injury through the successive roles/echelons of care to include monitor movement of patients to outside to the JOA utilizing TRANSCOM assets. ARNORTH/JFLCC is the designated Single Integrated Logistics Manager (SIMLIM) for USNORTHCOM. The Medical logistics execution tasks include medical distribution, medical technology/information support systems (MC4), medical equipment maintenance, and the centralized management of patient movement items. Preventive Medicine is the identification, risk assessment, and control of communicable diseases, illnesses and exposure to endemic, occupational, and environmental exposures. JFLCC/ARNORTH Joint Medical Operations Center (JMOC SG) is part of the Plans and Operations Section and is part of the JFLCC/ARNORTH Center/Boards/Cells adaptive staff. Staffing of the JMOC is filled by the Surgeon core staff and, as needed, with individual augmentees. Staffing of the JMOC normally includes a medical operations officer, preventive medicine officer or environmental science officer, medical logistics officer, senior medical operations NCO, senior logistics NCO, and a senior preventive medicine NCO. 13-7

116 JMOC primary functions are to: a. coordinate and facilitate HSS and ESF#8 synchronization within the construct of the CONPLAN/OPLAN/OPORDERs and is the focal point for HSS situational awareness and understanding. b. monitor, assess, and provide inputs to JFLCC FRAGOs. c. track CCIRs to include medical information requirements and make recommendations to the Surgeon on required decision points. d. develop the HSS running estimate, support plans, and course of action analysis. e. as required, obtain projected and specific casualty rates, including DNBI/BI rates for both natural and/or manmade disasters or to model and validate HSS force structure requirements entered into Joint Capabilities Requirement (JCRM) and casualty flow for the joint operation. If this data is not available, then use the most current CJCSapproved automated medical planning tools to generate patient requirements and identify shortfalls in medical force structure, equipment, and supplies. f. coordinate with USTRANSCOM for patient movement and monitor patient movement reports produced by Director of Air Mobility Forces (USAFNORTH). National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) This section describes the relationship of the tasked medical units, working through the Medical Operations Center (MOC) and the agencies within the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS). The National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) is designated as the primary Federal response mechanism for mass casualty events. The NDMS components include: a. Deployable medical response teams to a disaster area in the form of teams, supplies, and equipment. b. Patient evacuation movement from a disaster site to unaffected areas. c. Medical care at participating hospitals in unaffected areas. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) NDMS Medical Response Teams - 50 Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs) - 10 Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Teams (DMORTs) - 1 Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team WMD - 1 Disaster Mortuary Family Assistance Team (FACT) - 5 National Veterinary Response Teams (NVRTs) 13-8

117 - 4 National Medical Response Teams - WMD - 1 International Medical/Surgical Teams (IMSURTs) - 2 Mental Health Teams - Federal Medical Station (FMS) Supporting units may receive mission assignments to augment services provided by DHHS, in addition to internal DOD support missions. The goal is to prevent a drain on the services to the affected population. Example Aero-Medical Evacuation Process (Under the National Disaster Medical System NDMS) Submits Patient Movement Request (PMR) PMR Regional Coordinator AE Liaison PMR PMR PMR MSN LA State EOC Joint Patient Movement Team (JPMT) MSN USTRANSCOM Global Patient Movement Reception Center (GPMRC) MSN Air Mobility Command (AMC) Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC) MSN MSN Mission (MSN) Details (Msn #, Time, Loc, Etc) Local Hospital APOE/AMP Patients loaded according to scheduled Aircraft missions MAC-ST CRE Normally 1-2 Hrs Prior to Arrival of Aircraft Ambulances dispatched to hospitals to pick up patients and move to the APOE APOD/FCC Normally Within miles Of APOD NDMS Hospital 6 Supporting units will often find themselves in the role of establishing a Defense Aeromedical Staging Facility or transporting patients (depicted above) from the local hospital to the Aerial Port of Embarkation (APOE) or from the Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD) to the NDMS hospital. This mission assignment will be activated when the federal assets (ambulance contracts) have been exhausted. Legal Consideration for Health Care Providers DoD military and civilian medical personnel who have a current, valid, and unrestricted license to practice medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, or another health profession and who are properly licensed under Title 10 U.S.C. S1094(d) may practice their profession on non-dod personnel at any location authorized by the SECDEF. This authorization is implied when the SECDEF approves a request for medical units to deploy to the scene of a disaster/emergency pursuant to a request for assistance from civil authorities. The healthcare professional (HCP) is 13-9

118 deemed in the execution of, and acting within, the scope of orders that have been approved by the SECDEF. In the event a therapeutic misadventure occurs while a HCP is providing medical care within the scope of his or her duties (e.g. a Defense Coordinating Element-validated Mission Assignment or Mission Assignment Tasking Order), he or she will be protected by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and will not face personal liability. Many states have either: - a statutory provision that addresses the recognition (a/k/a "reciprocity") of medical licenses issued by another State, or - a waiver of the State's licensure requirements, for DoD HCPs who enter the State solely to provide medical treatment to civilian victims of an emergency or disaster incident. Pre/Post Deployment Health Assessment (PDHA) is a program mandated by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs that was designed to identify and address health concerns, with specific emphasis on behavioral health, which may have developed over time since deployment. The intent is to obtain information from an individual in order to assess the state of the individual s health before possible deployment as part of a contingency, combat, or other operation and to assist health care providers in identifying and providing present and future medical care to the individual. The information provided on the DD Forms 2795 and 2796 may result in a referral for additional health care that may include medical, dental, or behavioral health care or diverse community support services. Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) requirements for active and reserve forces, DOD civilian employees, DOD contract personnel designated to support USNORTHCOM AOR are governed by USNORTHCOM Instruction , Smallpox and Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Programs memorandum OSD , and service specific requirements. Medical readiness is a Commander and individual responsibility with organizational level oversight and execution. Each Service has a medical readiness program designed to support their Service-specific requirements. Deployable military, civilian, and contractor personnel are required to comply with Command and Service medical readiness requirements. Baseline IMR requirements for the USNORTHCOM AO are determined by potential health risks and vulnerabilities from country analyses performed by the National Center for Medical Intelligence. Upon notification of a deployment, the NORAD and USNORTHCOM Command Surgeon will validate current medical readiness requirements based on the specific missions and deployment locations. The command surgeon will identify additional medical requirements as required. For medical purposes, the definition of deployment is travel to or through the USNORTHCOM area of operations in response to or in connection with a contingency and/or emergency

119 Temporary Duty (TDY) is defined as missions not in response to or in connection with a contingency or emergency. National Guard when in a Title 10 status and Reserve forces assigned to NORAD and USNORTHCOM, as well as component and subordinate commands shall comply with this Instruction

120 Chapter 13 PMO Purpose. To provide basic Law Enforcement (LE), Antiterrorism (AT), and Force Protection (FP) concepts and references for assigned, OPCON, TACON units and those commands subject to TACON (for FP) authority in support of all USARNORTH, ASCC, JFLCC missions. The intent for this portion of the TACSOP is deliberately designed to provide a snapshot to key FP references and resources and PMO contacts. ARNORTH Force Protection Mission. USARNORTH executes a comprehensive FP mission that provides an appropriate level of safety and security for all US Army Title 10 personnel (to include DA civilians, Family members, and DOD contractors), resources, infrastructure, information, and equipment from the full spectrum of hostile threats within the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR) in order to ensure mission assurance under TACON (for FP) authority. USARNORTH PMO Mission. The PMO plans, coordinates, and synchronizes all aspects of LE, AT, and FP related operations for the CG, Battle Staff, and all personnel under USARNORTH/JFLCC mission command in support of Homeland Defense (HD), Civil Support (CS), and Theater Security Cooperation (TSC) activities plus all Title 10 Army commands subject to TACON (for FP) authority. The PMO serves as the single point of contact for all LE, AT, and FP issues external to USARNORTH. ARNORTH PMO Organizational Focus. The PMO is led by the Provost Marshal (PM) and consists of three divisions: Operations, Risk Management (RM), and Plans, Policy and Exercise (PP&E), responsible for execution of the USARNORTH FP mission. During crises & consequence management, the PMO maintains responsibilities as the functional proponent for the FP mission and Antiterrorism (AT) Program execution for Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs), Army Commands (ACOMs), and Direct Reporting Units (DRUs) located within the USNORTHCOM Theater. The PMO also conducts liaison with the Department of Defense (DOD), USNORTHCOM, Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA), Sister Services, the Army National Guard Bureau (NGB), and local, state, and federal law enforcement (LE) entities. Additional PMO lines off effort include (not all inclusive): a. Exercises primary staff responsibility for LE, security and force protection (FP) policy, planning, and operations within the command b. Assesses the FP posture and effectiveness of AT and Emergency Management (EM) Programs for all ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs in the USNORTHCOM AOR c. Plans, coordinates, and synchronizes all aspects of AT and FP-related support to HD, CS, and TSC activities in the USNORTHCOM AOR 13-12

121 d. In conjunction with the G2, provides combined intelligence products for the command and criminal intelligence personnel to support the USARNORTH Threat Fusion Center (TFC) during normal and crisis operations e. The PMO is the primary staff responsible for coordination with all law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), is the USARNORTH point of contact (POC) for receipt and analysis of LE-derived information, and is responsible for information pertaining to the status of Emergency Support Function #13 (Public Safety and Security) f. During crisis operations, provides trained personnel for the Main Command Post (MCP), Task Force 51, Defense Coordinating Elements (DCE), and other Joint Task Forces (JTFs) supporting National Special Security Events (NSSE) or other DSCA and HD events g. Coordinates with HQDA on Defense Critical Assets/Task Critical Assets and provides information on non-army Critical Infrastructure within the USNORTHCOM theater h. Recommends risk mitigation options for the USARNORTH/JFLCC Commander utilizing the Composite Risk Management Process. The risk analysis process consists of three elements: Threat Assessment, Vulnerability Assessment, and Criticality Assessment which then determines an overall assessment. i.

122 Chapter 13 Public Affairs Guidance. Mission-specific public affairs guidance will be published as needed. The U.S. federal military generally supports other agencies when operating in the United States and with our international partners. Published guidance will reflect the supporting/supported relationship. Coordination. Public affairs activities will be coordinated with supported agency partners. During contingency response within the United States, US Northern Command PAO coordinates strategic public affairs activities and receives communications synchronization guidance at least daily through an interagency conference call, the National Incident Communication Coordination Line (NICCL). US Northern Command PAO conducts a follow-on NORTHCOM Public Affairs Conference Call to provide their subordinate PAOs with communications synchronization guidance and supported agency priorities, and to coordinate military public affairs activities. Unit PAOs at all levels should dial in. US Army North PAO will provide schedule and call-in number. Other guidance will be disseminated via and telephone as needed. Public affairs coordination with international partners will be conducted through U.S Army North PAO, U.S. Northern Command PAO and the U.S. State Department/Embassy PAOs as appropriate. Posture. Public affairs posture will be specified in published guidance. Prior to publication of guidance, refer media queries to US Northern Command or the appropriate federal agency. Reporting. PAOs in subordinate units should provide a daily situation report to US Army North PAO for the current 24 hours and next 48 hours on media operations and queries, community queries, photos/stories produced, and potential issues. will be the preferred method of submission. Times will be 1600 Central Time unless otherwise specified. Notify US Army North PAO as soon as possible of issues with significant public affairs impact. These issues include, but are not limited to tactical military issues that may attract or have attracted national media coverage or adverse media attention of Northern Command activities; death, significant injury or illness of assigned forces or their family members; and major equipment issues that impact ability to successfully accomplish PAO missions. Issues. The federal military, to include the National Guard when federalized, is restricted by law from performing certain functions in the United States. Public affairs releases and photographs must accurately describe unit activities so as to avoid the perception that units are performing unauthorized missions. This paragraph is intended to familiarize subordinate commanders and PAOs with some potential issues

123 Incident Awareness Assessment (IAA). There are specific US Government policy guidelines in place to prevent the military from unlawfully gathering information on U.S. citizens. Military platforms, when requested and approved, may be used in accordance with federal laws and government policies, to provide video and still photos to other agencies for life saving, life sustaining, damage assessment or other approved missions. In the absence of published guidance, refer any queries on Incident Awareness Assessment (IAA) missions to US Northern Command PAO. Law Enforcement. The federal military, to include the National Guard when federalized, is prohibited from performing law enforcement functions in the United States except as authorized by the Constitution. The federal military may provide indirect support to law enforcement agencies, such as assisting with wellness checks, transporting law enforcement officers, etc. Unless specifically authorized, the federal military may NOT perform law enforcement functions that include but are not limited to apprehension of suspects, search and seizure, and riot or crowd control. Avoid photos depicting weapons or characterizing missions in law enforcement terms. Other Agencies in the lead. The federal military generally supports civilian agencies when operating in the United States. Ensure public affairs activities are coordinated with lead/supported agencies and that releases, stories and photographs depict the military support of other agencies as part of a whole of government effort. Contact information: US Army North PAO may be reached at /0793/1766/0015. The PAO Watch Desk in the COIC will be manned during contingency: The US Army North COIC Watch Desk is manned 24 hours: US Northern Command PAO may be reached at / References: AR (The Army Public Affairs Program), JP 3-61(Public Affairs for Joint operations), NORTHCOM; Public Affairs Strategic Planning Document For media access to Full Motion Video (FMV) and Incident Awareness Assessment (IAA) and Lexicon of Terms ISR vs. IAA 13-15

124 Chapter 13 Chaplain The JFLCC/ARNORTH Chaplain (CH) reports directly to the commander, through the Chief of Staff. As member of the JLCC/ARNORTH Commander s personal staff, the Chaplain is the principal advisor to the Commander on Religious Support (RS) and Religious Advisement (RA). Through RA, the Command Chaplain informs the commander on the impact of religion upon operations. In the area of RS, the Command Chaplain oversees and accounts for the provision and facilitation of religious worship, pastoral counseling, and the accommodation of free exercise of religion for all authorized personnel. Included in RS are the oversight, management, and accounting for all OPCON/ TACON RS personnel present and active in the JOA. A Religious Support Team (RST) normally consists of one Chaplain and one Chaplain Assistant. Augmented RST will include augmenters in operations and reporting. Religious Support Competencies. All RS tasks appropriate to Chaplains and Chaplain Assistants (CA) will fall under one of three competencies: Nurture the Living, Care for the Wounded, Honor the fallen. RST Structure and Report Process. The JFLCC/ARNORTH CH strategic higher is the COCOM, NORAD-Northern Command CH (NORTHCOM, N-NC). All RST are to report and operate according to the task organization under which their unit is aligned. During operations, the JFLCC RS mans the RS station in the Current Operations Integrations Center (COIC). The COIC RS station telephone number is (DSN: 471). The JOA JTF CH is the senior CH on the ground and reports directly to the JFLCC CH. All BN and TF RST will include the JTF-CH in all Request for Forces (RFF) and Request for Information (RFI). All regular and serious incident (SIR) reporting is made through the RST technical chain of command to the JTF RST. Legal Restrictions and Considerations. RST personnel on Title 10 status perform and provide RS only to military and authorized DoD personnel. The Establishment Clause of the US Constitution and current DOD legal guidance generally prohibits T-10 chaplains from providing RS to other persons. Incidental support may only be given, provided it meets the following criteria (The four pronged test, JP 1-05, III 3-4): a. The support must be individually and personally requested in an emergency situation, whereby the need is immediate, unusual, and unplanned. b. The need must be acute. Acute needs are those which are of short duration, prone to rapid deterioration, and in need of urgent and immediate care. The necessary provision of last rites is the clearest, but not the only example of such needs. c. The requested support must be incapable of being reasonably rendered by members of the clergy unaffiliated with the Armed Forces. Time, distance, and 13-16

125 the state of communications may require such a determination to be made on the spot, by the chaplain, based on the information available at the time. d. The support must be actually incidental. Such support incurs no incremental monetary cost and does not significantly detract from the primary role of the RST. (III-4) Attachments: The essential reporting and tracking documents listed below are from the ARNORTH SOP (Annex N Religious Support) and are accessible at the following portal address: A. Tab A to Annex N (Initial Assessment) B. Tab B to Annex N (Daily Status Report) C. Tab C to Annex N (Storyboard): TF and JTF RST daily format to JFLCC. D.

126 Chapter 13 Staff Judge Advocate USARNORTH JFLCC TACSOP, as of 15 Jul 13 Purpose. Faithful execution of the law is a critical ingredient to mission success. This chapter outlines the tasks, functions, and procedures for the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate (OSJA) section of the United States Army North (ARNORTH) Battle Staff during exercises and real world events, as well as the duties and responsibilities of personnel assigned/attached to the SJA section. This chapter also sets forth the most vital legal considerations for operating in a domestic environment, such as the Standing Rules for the Use of Force (SRUF), arming authority, the Posse Comitatus Act, Civil Disturbance Operations, General Order Number One, and Critical Infrastructure Protection. For more information on SRUF and many more legal considerations, see the legal appendices on the ARNORTH portal, under the SJA tab or contact the ARNORTH OSJA at (210) with questions. Applicability. This legal chapter is applicable to all ARNORTH subordinate commands or units. Organization. In accordance with (IAW) paragraphs 3-2a and 5-1, AR 27-10, the SJA section is led by the SJA, appointed by The Judge Advocate General of the Army, to manage and supervise all assigned or attached legal personnel in the performance of their duties with U.S. Army North. Consistent with Title 10 U.S.C. 3037(c)(2), the SJA has the sole responsibility within the command to direct the permanent or temporary assignment of duties of all personnel within the SJA section. No SJA personnel may be detailed or tasked to augment or support another element of Headquarters, ARNORTH, or subordinate unit for any exercise or real world event without the express approval of the SJA. This responsibility includes the decision whether to deploy and when to redeploy a member of the SJA section in support of a Defense Coordinating Element (DCE). The SJA section consists of at least seven attorneys, one warrant officer, two paralegals, and an administrative assistant. One attorney and one paralegal, as designated by the SJA, will deploy with a Contingency Command Post (CCP). Additional legal personnel may deploy depending on the circumstances and with the approval of the SJA. Otherwise, all legal personnel will remain with the Main Command Post (MCP) and will be organized to cover 24-hour operations, if necessary. When required, the SJA will designate an attorney to support the G-3 Future Operations Center (FOC) and the Threat Working Group (TWG) for a maximum period of 12 consecutive hours. The FOC and TWG attorneys will render legal advice and guidance to all future operation missions developed by the USARNORTH G3 FOC and the TWG. Requests for legal support to all other centers, boards, cells, working groups, Defense Coordinating Officers/Elements (DCO/DCE), etc. will be approved/disapproved by the SJA on an as needed basis, balanced against all other SJA missions, priorities, and command responsibilities. The SJA section in the MCP may be augmented by legal personnel from either the Active or Reserve Component. In addition, the SJA may request a DSCA course-qualified Judge Advocate from installations located throughout CONUS to support the DCO/DCE for exercises or when he/it deploys for an actual major disaster, emergency, or terrorist threat/attack

127 Chapter 14: Task Organization ARNORTH/JFLCC Task Organization: ARNORTH is organized according to the diagram below. The left portion of the diagram illustrates how ARNORTH is organized for normal operations with the G Staff, Special Staff as well as separate Task Forces and the 10 Defense Coordinating Officers (DCO) aligned with each FEMA region. The shaded section on the right illustrates how the JFLCC provides mission command of forces during a multi-state event in conjunction with Dual Status Commanders (DSC) and other General Purpose Forces (GPF). Each event can differ based on the requirements of the supported force or lead federal agency and the amount of forces necessary. Final task organizations will be clearly defined in OPORDs and/or FRAGOs as missions occur. 14-1

128 Chapter 15: Pre-Mission Readiness This chapter of the JFLCC TACSOP gives guidance to units on preparing for missions within the NORTHCOM AOR. It pertains to those supporting and subordinate units habitually associated with USARNORTH, as well as those that have no day-to-day interaction with it. Units with a habitual relationship with USARNORTH will keep themselves at the highest state of readiness for the conduct of current and future missions. This readiness includes personal and unit fitness for the mission, whether that mission is a cross-border engagement with Mexico or Canada, Support to Civil Authorities, or Homeland Defense. Below are the general guidelines for units preparing for missions under the JFLCC. Each unit will conduct its own mission analysis to determine its specific requirements, given the type of mission it is to perform, as well as the mission s immediate environment, in order to develop the specifics as prepares for missions. Units will direct questions about pre-mission readiness to the appropriate JFLCC staff section. General Guidance: 1. Units will ensure personnel are: o Trained and qualified on assigned weapon systems. o Trained in the employment of lethal and non-lethal munitions. o Trained in Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (Level I). o Properly licensed, trained, qualified, and/or certified to operate motor vehicles and other special equipment IAW Service standards. 2. Personnel will complete all periodic training requirements (including Fraternization, Sexual Assault Prevention, Code of Conduct, OPSEC, COMSEC, Alcohol & Substance Abuse, Law of War, Media Engagement, Suicide Awareness & Prevention, APFT, etc.). 3. Units will deploy with weapons (typically in a secure container) in accordance with JFLCC guidance. 4. Units will deploy with organic communications equipment to allow them the maximum capability to communicate over a variety of means in both classified and unclassified media. Especially in DSCA and HLD scenarios, units will function under the mission command of new headquarters and will cooperate with parallel joint and interagency entities, so they will deploy with the widest range of functional communications equipment. 5. Units will deploy with at least one Level II-qualified Anti-Terrorism Officer or NCO. 6. Units will deploy with Contracting Officer Representatives (as required) in order to oversee contracting support. 15-1

129 Medical Guidance: USARNORTH JFLCC TACSOP, as of 15 Jul Commanders will ensure DOD personnel have a current Periodic Health Assessment and Pre-Deployment Health Assessment. 2. Medical units will conduct mission analysis to determine Class VIII requirements for mission accomplishment. 3. Non-medical units will conduct mission analysis to determine Class VIII requirements for self-support. 4. Units will ensure personnel meet Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) requirements as defined in NNCI , service regulations, and requirements in relevant orders. 5. Personnel on prescription medications will deploy with 30 DOS for personal use. 6. Personnel with eyeglass prescriptions will deploy with two sets of glasses. 7. Sick call medications for DOD personnel may be sourced from a combination of organic supplies, a designated BSI, or local medication providers on an emergency basis. Chemical/Biological/Radiological/Nuclear Preparedness Guidance: CRE (CBRN Response Enterprise) units will prepare and deploy IAW FRAGO 1 to FORSCOM Prepare To Deploy Order in support of the DCRF and C2CRE A and B FY 13 (dated Z MAY 12). Units under JFLCC control for non-cre missions will deploy in accordance with expected mission requirements and additional JFLCC guidance. Supply Guidance: Units will be prepared to deploy with the following classes of supply. Further guidance will be published in the applicable USARNORTH OPORD and subsequent FRAGO. 1. Class I (Food/Water): Forces will deploy with sufficient water and MRE for transit from home station to the designated BSI plus 5 DOS. 2. Class II (Individual Equipment): Forces will deploy IAW unit SOP for a 30-day mission. 3. Class III (Petroleum): Forces will deploy with 15 DOS of CL III (P) and sufficient CL III (B) for transit from home station to the designated BSI. 4. Class IV (Construction/Barrier Material): As required per mission analysis. 5. Class V (Ammunition): As authorized by the JFLCC. 6. Class VI (Personal Demand Items): Forces will deploy with 30 DOS of personal demand items. 7. Class VII (Major End Items): Forces will deploy with minimum essential major end items based on mission analysis. Tracked vehicles will not be deployed unless approved by the 15-2

130 JFLCC Commander. 8. Class VIII (Medical Supplies): Personnel on prescription medications will deploy with 30 DOS for personal use. Personnel with eyeglass prescription will deploy with two sets. 9. Class IX (Repair Parts): Forces will deploy with critical repair parts to perform organizational maintenance and emergency repair on deployed equipment. 15-3

139 Chapter 17: Intelligence Oversight and IAA Intelligence Purpose. This chapter describes key differences between the ARNORTH Intelligence mission in the Homeland and intelligence functions employed in overseas environments. The G-2 supports Homeland Defense, Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) and Theater Security Cooperation with ARNORTH partner nations. Because two of the three occur almost exclusively in the Homeland, the mission carries with it the responsibility of ensuring the protection of US persons (USPER) Constitutional and privacy rights pursuant to U.S. Army and DoD Intelligence Oversight programs, federal statutes and Presidential Executive Orders. Intelligence activities conducted in CONUS are very sensitive and must include procedures to ensure compliance. The paragraphs below will highlight key differences in how we process information relating to USPER, and also how we collect, store and disseminate domestic imagery. Organization. The USARNORTH G-2 section is comprised of G-2 Headquarters, Operations, Intelligence Control, Intelligence Support, G-2X, and Analysis & Control Element (ACE). The Operations Division is composed of Current Operations (CUOPS), Future Operations (FUOPS) and Theater Security Cooperation (TSC). The Intelligence Support Division is comprised of Information Technology (IT) and Security. The ACE Division includes the Technical Exploitation Branch, the HLD Branch, the Collection Management Branch, and the AOR Branch. As appropriate, the G-2 is augmented with a National Intelligence Support Team (NIST), NGA augmentation and if there is a HIGH threat of terrorist attack in the JOA, augmentation from CIA, DIA, and NSA. Activities. The JFLCC G-2 uses the following basic guidelines in performing it mission. Incident Awareness and Asessment (IAA). Requirements Development. All supported and subordinate unit intelligence and production requirements are coordinated through the USARNORTH G-2 Collection Requirement Manager (CRM), whether Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Measurements and Signatures (MASINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). In cases where USARNORTH G-2 is allocated assets (usually through a request for forces) then we may receive appropriate Collection Management Authority (CMA) from USNORTHCOM J-2 as Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) for foreign intelligence (FI) and counterintelligence (CI) requirements and for Incident Awareness and Assessment (IAA) assets for JCS-directed DSCA missions. When this occurs, the CRM executes CMA on behalf of the USARNORTH G-2. Due to the sensitivity and restrictive nature of military collection operations in the Homeland, the terms Requirements and IAA will be used in place of the terms Collections and ISR, when appropriate. Domestic Imagery. Those who have previously deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan are well aware of the benefits and availability of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and other ISR assets to support operations. As mentioned previously, operating in the Homeland requires a different mindset. Paragraphs below will cover the use of ISR assets in the Homeland and the procedures for doing so under the provisions of NNCI 14-3 (available at 17-1

140 2/inteloversight/Intel%20Oversight%20Shared%20Documents/NNCI14_3.pdf). a. Incident Awareness and Assessment (IAA) is a non-doctrinal term coined by NORTHCOM to address the traditional intelligence oversight concerns of using DoD ISR assets domestically. While no doctrinal definition exists yet, our working definition is the SECDEF approved use of specific DOD intelligence capabilities for non-intelligence purposes in support of DSCA operations. Because support to DSCA is not one of the two authorized intelligence functions, the use of intelligence capabilities must be approved by SECDEF. b. The capture or use of any domestic imagery requires a Proper Use Memorandum (PUM). A PUM does nothing more than certify the organization using the domestic imagery understands, and has procedures in place to properly use, handle and protect it. The owning/employing organization generates the PUM, which is then endorsed through ARNORTH G-2 (with SJA review) for endorsement/approval by NORTHCOM J-2 and JA. NORTHCOM has a standing PUM for national level satellite imagery. This PUM addresses component use of the imagery as well. Any other theater-level or fixed wing assets require a separate PUM. AFNORTH normally generates the PUM for assets under their OPCON or TACON, which would support JFLCC forces. Should ARNORTH obtain domestic imagery assets, then we (or subordinate formation owning the asset) would develop the PUM. c. In accordance with DODD , SECDEF has specifically retained authority for approval for the use of UAV in the Homeland at his level. Only in the last year has he approved exercise use of Global Hawk and Predator. There is no precedent for approval for the domestic use of organic unit level UAV (such as Shadow or Ravens). Besides the high level of approval required, there are significant airspace considerations for employment of UAV that hinder their use. Intelligence Oversight (IO). IO regulations are the guidelines that enable our Intelligence personnel to accomplish their mission while protecting the rights of USPER. It is a DoD and Army-wide requirement based on E.O , as revised by E.O , and as implemented by DOD R, NNCI , and AR While IO only applies to Intelligence personnel, it is important that commanders understand it, so they do not assign missions to their S-2/G-2 that intelligence personnel are not authorized to perform. Elsewhere in the Army, IO is normally little more than an annual training requirement. However, because ARNORTH operates in the Homeland which is full of USPER, consisting of our families, neighbors and other USPER who live and work around us, it is a far more significant requirement. Units operating in this environment require specific training and focus to stay within the intent of the applicable laws, polices and regulations. a. A USPER is defined as: a U.S. citizen; an alien known by the intelligence component to be a permanent resident alien (green card holder); an unincorporated association substantially composed of U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens (a club, group or religious institution); a corporation incorporated in the United States that is not directed or controlled by a foreign government (just about every business in the US). A corporation or a subsidiary incorporated 17-2

141 abroad is not a U.S. person even if partially or wholly owned by a corporation incorporated in the United States. b. ARNORTH Intelligence personnel are authorized to work against only two intelligence missions: defense-related foreign intelligence and counterintelligence. Foreign terrorist and international narcotics threats are considered sub-sets of foreign intelligence. Domestic (i.e. force protection) threats cannot be collected on, retained or reported by Intelligence personnel, but should be passed to appropriate agencies (usually Provost Marshal or civilian law enforcement) if obtained. Support to DSCA missions may become problematic as conducting Intelligence Preparation of the Environment (IPOE) can involve collection of USPER information, directly or incidentally. c. In an attempt to offset these regulatory restrictions placed upon G-2, ARNORTH has created the Environmental Information Working Group (EIWG) to enable the IPOE-type and situation awareness functions required to support operations in the Homeland, consistent with the restrictions imposed upon them by DODD and AR The G-3/5/7 Engineer leads the EIWG and G-2 supports as required within IO limitations. d. ARNORTH Policy Letter #15 (posted at link below which also contains all relevant IO resources) governs the ARNORTH Intelligence Oversight Program. e. Units are welcome to address any questions or training requests to the G-2 IO Officer, Mr. Pat McNiece, and/or the OSJA Intel Law Legal Advisor, Mr. Kevin Kapitan, Requests for Information (RFI). USARNORTH G-2 responds to intelligence/threat RFIs from internal/external customers and subordinate elements (note this does not include friendly CONUS-based capabilities for DSCA purposes as this poses Intelligence Oversight challenges). Before submitting an RFI, customers should research and/or interface with their organic intelligence capability. If the intelligence requirement cannot be resolved at the Reporting/Supporting Command G-2, and it is related to USARNORTH mission requirements, the RFI is forwarded to USARNORTH G-2. All intelligence requirements should be informally coordinated between G-2 and respective S-2 before RFI submission. If the request cannot be answered by USARNORTH G-2, it is forwarded through USNORTHCOM or DA to the appropriate agency. RFI may be submitted to USARNORTH G-2 via COLISEUM or via SIPRNET web page (primary) at or for DSCA events, via an event-specific sub-page to be established on the G-2 NIPR portal at The ARNORTH DAIIS portal on JWICS is also available at CRM will manage/track the satisfaction of the RFI and provide responses to the requestor. The status will be shown on the SharePoint RFI portal and where possible, the response will be posted there as well to allow visibility to other customers. 17-3

142 Chapter 18: Personnel Recovery (PR) The purpose of this document is to standardize/clarify USARNORTH Personnel Recovery (PR) procedures. This document will increase USARNORTH understanding of PR, its function, and the procedures in place to ensure recovery of an individual should they become involved in an isolating incident. Below are frequently used concepts and terms that must be understood by the reader. Personnel Recovery (PR)- The sum of military, diplomatic, and civil efforts to prepare for and execute the recovery and reintegration of isolated personnel. Isolated Personnel (IP)- US military, DOD civilian and contractor personnel and (others designate by the POTUS or SECDEF) who are separated from their unit (as an individual or a group) while participating in a US sponsored military activity or mission and are, or may be, in a situation where they must survive, evade, resist, or escape (SERE). Isolated Personnel Report (ISOPREP)- A DOD Form (DD Form 1833) containing information designed to facilitate the identification and authentication of an isolated person by a recovery force. Joint Personnel Recovery Center (JPRC)- The primary joint force organization responsible for planning and coordinating personnel recovery for military operations within the assigned operational area. The JPRC is established at the COCOM level of command. Rescue Coordination Center (RCC)- A primary search and rescue facility suitably staffed by supervisory personnel and equipment for coordinating and controlling search and rescue and/or combat search and rescue operations. The facility is operated unilaterally by personnel of a single Service or component. Personnel Recovery Coordination Cell (PRCC)- The primary joint force component organization responsible for coordinating and controlling component personnel recovery mission. Permissive Environment- Operational environment in which host country military and law enforcement agencies have control as well as the intent and capability to assist operations that a unit intends to conduct. Enemy- For the purpose of this document enemy is defined as Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCO), other criminal groups, or weather. Hostile Territory- For the purpose of this document hostile territory is defined as areas in Mexico where the U.S. Government has restricted travel or areas where TCO are openly competing for 18-1

143 control of a given territory. For greater detail see General Concepts: In order to effectively support and execute personnel recovery within the USNORTHCOM area of responsibility, USARNORTH/JFLCC has been directed to establish a Personnel Recovery Coordination Cell. The PRCC is responsible for coordinating all PR related matters for the USARNORTH commander. The PRCC also coordinates PR planning, preparation, and execution vertically with the USNORTHCOM Joint Personnel Recovery Center (JPRC) and horizontally with other service PRCC. In addition USARNORTH s PRCC must prepare four key force elements commanders, staffs, forces, and individuals at risk of becoming isolated, missing, detained, or captured (IMDC). In order to successfully support the USNORTHCOM personnel recovery program, USARNORTH PRCC must accomplish for the seven essential functions below: Ensure reliable communications with subordinate unit Personnel Recovery Officers (PRO), other service PRCC and JPRC Coordinate deliberate recoveries for the component Review accountability and movement reporting procedures of subordinate units Assist in immediate recoveries when requested by subordinate units Ensure subordinate units have access to JPRC SOP Ensuring subordinate units have sufficient access to evasion aids, personal locator beacon equipment, and other equipment Identify subordinate unit PR equipment shortfalls to the JPRC. In addition to the above elements that the USARNORTH PRCC is able to execute, the United States Government (USG) as a whole will exercise the full weight of government in order that an isolated individual be returned with honor. The US Government can accomplish this through three separate, but equal options: military, diplomatic, and civil. Although discussed separately, it is important to know that these options can be combined during a single recovery mission. Military: The Army uses four principal methods when planning and executing military recoveries; Immediate, Deliberate, External Supported, and Unassisted. Immediate recovery is the sum of actions conducted to locate and recover isolated personnel by forces directly observing the isolating event or, through the reporting process, determining that the isolated personnel are close enough for them to conduct a rapid recovery. Immediate recovery assumes that the situation permits a recovery with the forces at hand without detailed planning or coordination typically conducted by host nation forces. Deliberate recovery is the sum of actions conducted when an incident is reported and an immediate recovery is not feasible or was not successful. Weather, enemy actions, isolated 18-2

144 personnel location, and recovery force capabilities are examples of factors that may require the detailed planning and coordination of a deliberate recovery. External Supported Recovery (ESR) is the sum of actions conducted when immediate or deliberate recovery is not feasible or was not successful. ESR is the support provided by the Army to other Joint Task Force (JTF) components, interagency organizations, or multinational forces Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), and airborne command and control are examples of capabilities that may be required from different components of host nation forces to execute an ESR. Unassisted recovery comprises actions taken by isolated personnel to achieve their own recovery without outside assistance. Unassisted recovery consists of, in a non-combat environment, isolated personnel getting back to friendly forces, or to a point where they can be recovered via another method. While the Code of Conduct requires isolated personnel to make every effort to evade or escape, commanders must strive to recover these personnel via one or a combination of the other methods. Diplomatic: This option may involve direct negotiations between the US Government and other governments that have detained US personnel. Civil: In situations where diplomatic or military recovery options may not be feasible or acceptable by themselves, a civil recovery option may prove useful. International or nongovernmental organizations (NGO) may be able to assist in the recovery of isolated personnel in these situations. Examples of such organizations are the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the American Red Cross, and Doctors Without Borders. Below is the simplified USARNORTH PRCC organizational structure. This structure will ensure proper flow of information, collaboration, and synergy. The end state of this structure and the personnel that work within these organizations is to ensure every effort is made to prevent an isolating event and the ultimately recover of 100% of our personnel if an individual or individuals become isolated. 18-3

145 Specific Concepts: The specific concepts below are tasks that must be accomplished by the individual to ensure their greatest chance of recovery should they become isolated. Travel within the USNORTHCOM OCONUS AOR or travel outside the USNORTHCOM AOR: The USARNORTH Policy Letter dated, 6 July 2012, establishes PR training and deployment policy for all USARNORTH personnel, civilians, and contractors assigned, attached, OPCON or TACON on Temporary Duty Assignment (TDY) to the areas considered OCONUS within the USNORTHCOM area of responsibility (AOR). Under no circumstances will the above personnel travel in the NC-OCONUS AOR without meeting the PR training and deployment requirements. Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, DA Civilian, and Contractors assigned to USARNORTH must complete the training prior to travel to any OCONUS location; training is an annual requirement. ADCON, OPCON, or TACON of personnel on official business status with USARNORTH must complete the training within 60 days of assignment. TDY forces will complete training prior to travel to any OCONUS location. a. Annual Personnel Recovery (PR) Requirements: *All weblinks have been verified; however for the portal links to work USARNORTH s portal must be logged into and the address must be cut and paste in the web address bar. 18-4

146 1. Complete the US Army North PR Overview briefing annually: 2. Complete, or annually review ISOPREP data. USARNORTH ISOPREP Manager, located in G3 Air Ops, has access to the Classified ISOPREP Portal for annual review. For those individuals who do not have ISOPREP on file, PRO-File (unclassified) software will be utilized to convert unclassified ISOPREP data to the classified site. Instructions for completing PRO- File are located: Two types (Classified and Unclassified) of ISOPREPs will be filed for all personnel. 3. Complete SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) (Self-paced Computer Based Training (CBT): b. Documents/Equipment Issue/Other Requirements 1. Commanders and Directors will report PRO-File and SERE status as part of their quarterly training brief. (QTB) 2. Commanders will appoint a PRO-Unit manager to assist personnel to meet requirements. 3. Commanders that have personnel assigned on a TDY status to USARNORTH will provide a statement of preparedness to their mission coordinator 30 days prior to mission execution. 4. Official (Red DOD) passport is required for travel. If travel with a (Blue) tourist passport is necessary, approval must be coordinated for with Chief, Security Cooperation Division (SCD) at USARNORTH ( ) and requires approval from US Embassy for travel to Mexico as well as travel to Canada. 5. File a travel plan with the ARNORTH Command Operations Integration Center (COIC) using SIPR 5aoc@conus.army.smil.mil or by calling the COIC at (210) /1056. (See Attached) a. Senior traveler if in a group or the individual will check in NLT 2000 daily (central time) to the USARNORTH COIC at the numbers above or at arnorthaoc@conus.army.mil. Senior traveler will ensure all individuals within the group understand the reporting process. 6. Two to three days before travel individuals need to make an appointment with the G- 3/5/7 Air Shop and draw a personnel locator beacon (PLB), blood chit, update both ISOPREP, if needed, and receive additional instruction as required. a. All travelers will have three forms of communication (PLB will count as one). If traveling in a group and the group will remain together during their travels only the senior individual will 18-5

147 be required to carry a PLB. All others will still be required to have three forms of communications. 7. General APACS explanation and instructions a. Submit theater clearance and country clearance request using Automated Personnel and Aircraft Clearance System (APACS) with sufficient lead time as required by the Department of Defense Clearance Guide. b. Verify approved APACS theater and country clearance before traveling. Under no circumstances will personnel travel in the AOR without approved clearances. DO NOT ASSUME CLEARANCE without direct contact with in country POC. 8. G-2 threat brief must be received before traveling OCONUS. POC is Chris Scogin (If applicable) All personnel will obtain/take prescription medication they are currently being prescribed and ensure they have enough medication for the duration of the trip. Additional Considerations: 1. Isolation Awareness/Guidance: While traveling, below, are situations an individual many find themselves in. However these examples are not all encompassing. If found in one of these situations an individual should consider themselves isolated and should activate the 911 function on the Personnel Location Device they were issued. Violently accosted by an individual or group (kidnapping, mugging, etc ) A forced precautionary aircraft landing in hostile territory Involved in a convoy traveling outside or inside an urban area and that vehicle the individual is in becomes separated from the main body. If unable to regain contact with the convoy and in a hostile territory activate the 911 function on the PLB. Caught in the cross fire of elements engaged in open conflict Isolation Awareness/Guidance is not a fixed set of rules; they should be seen as guiding principles. Common sense must be relied upon; since every situation will vary individuals need to remain flexible and manage each possible isolating incident as its own unique experience. 2. Isolated Personnel Instruction: For general instructions on what actions to take if an individual finds themselves isolated see Special Instructions (SPINs) located in the G-3/5/7 air shop prior to traveling abroad. Training, prior coordination, and awareness are key elements that will keep the individual out of harm s way. The best defense from becoming isolated is to rely on training received and maintain situation awareness. Understanding the isolation guidance, maintaining one s morale 18-6

148 and physical conditioning, and relying on the equipment issued will increase one s confidence in the overall PR system. Additional, staying calm and using common sense will go a long way to keeping one protected from an isolating event. If one should become isolated the preparation taken before hand will increase the odds of survival and a successful recovery. 18-7

149 Chapter 19: Base Support Installation Selection Criteria and Nomination Process A base support installation (BSI) serves as the logistics hub to support military forces conducting Civil Support (CS) operations. BSIs will generally have the following capabilities: Close proximity to the incident site (less than 200 miles). Close proximity to a major airfield. Life support services to include billeting, food service, fuel, contracting, medical support, and force protection. Open and covered areas for staging of supplies and equipment. Adequate transportation network to and from incident site. Communications infrastructure sufficient to meet the surge of forces arriving in the area. A BSI s primary mission is to provide support to Department of Defense forces responding to an incident. General During CS operations, the supported Combatant Commander (CCDR) will designate BSIs in coordination with the owning Service and approved by the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) (or as delegated). A BSI provides common-user logistics support (fuel, food, general supplies, etc.) and assists with JRSOI of responding DOD forces. Concept of Operations Support concepts are based on the proximity of the designated BSI and its capabilities which are: Major Installation. If a designated BSI is a major installation within a reasonable travel time from the incident area, then that installation will augment common user support to all responding forces to the greatest extent possible. This will enable the responding TF to focus on the CS mission. The installation staff should be able to assume responsibility for the majority of the joint reception and staging mission. Austere Installation. Depending on the location of the catastrophic incident, the BSI may be required to be established in an area that is not in close proximity to a robust DOD installation. In these instances, the support command and installation will complete an estimate of the situation and the support command will request either contract support or submit requests for forces in order to mitigate logistics capability shortfalls due to limited personnel, equipment, facilities, or interrupted or extended lines of communications between the BSI and those DOD elements operating at the incident site. 19-1

150 Base Support Installation Considerations Commanders and their staffs conduct mission analysis to prepare to meet logistics requirements and to coordinate the potential use of a military installation for base support of DOD forces during CS operations. BSI planning considerations should take into account, at a minimum, the following areas related to the key functions of logistics: - A comprehensive risk assessment must be conducted to ensure the force protection of personnel, facilities and resources. - A concise concept of purpose and description of the functions the BSI will support. - Forces required to support the operation and phasing for induction of logistic elements. - A JFO in the affected area for CBRNE. - FEMA mobilization location. - Length of time the BSI will provide support. - Transportation suitability (reception and staging capabilities, condition, maximum on ground, material handling equipment, medical evacuation capability, etc.) - Adequate supply, maintenance, transportation, civil engineering, medical and other service support at the BSI. A BSI must also be able to support operational, force protection, and communication requirements. Each ARNORTH staff section will be prepared to discuss these requirements during the BSI nomination process. DOD forces deploying into the operational area can expect to be supported from the designated BSI. The Senior Logistical Headquarters for USNORTHCOM will coordinate required support. The 167th Theater Sustainment Command (TSC) forward element deploys in order to coordinate Theater Opening (TO) / Theater Distribution (TD) / Theater Sustainment (TS) to Title 10/32 Response Forces in support of DSCA response. The TSC forward element will arrive on the designated BSI within 12 hours of notification to execute the following logistical tasks: - Coordinate with the BSI and tenant units for logistics capabilities to support JRSOI. - Conduct daily joint logistics coordination boards with the BSI, operational HQs, NG, and tenant units on the BSI. - Establish logistics accounts for Common User Logistics with the BSI Supply Support Activity to include billeting and messing for reception operations. - Identify logistics capability shortfalls not available on the BSI or with Tenant units and submit a Request For Forces to obtain. - Coordinate with the State National Guard TAG to leverage shared logistical capability. - Monitor the availability and readiness of NG logistics units in the AOR ICW the NG Domestic All-Hazards Response Teams (DART). - BPT coordinate expeditionary contracting with the 412th Contracting BDE, the 279th AFSB, the Installation Contracting Cell on the BSI, responding forces, and supported federal agencies ICW the JSF. 19-2

151 BSI Nomination Process The Base support Installation (BSI) designation sequence outlines the process by which USNORTHCOM selects BSIs to support DOD forces in the operational area. Figure 1 shows the designation sequence for a no-notice event such as an earthquake or tornado. The major significant activities are the submission of BSI checklists during steady state operations, the NORTHCOM BSI Teleconference at N+6 (no-notice event), and the publication of the NORTHCOM FRAGO designating a BSI at N+10. All Services update and submit BSI checklists to NORTHCOM annually. The checklists are designed to capture a snapshot (general baseline) of the installations General Support Capability such as (Storage, transportation, Air field capability, installation support, Installation security, and medical support). The BSI data sheets are stored on the NORTHCOM J4 BSI Portal page for reference during BSI analysis. The Checklists can be found at the following USNORTHCOM J4 URL: ion.aspx NOTE: a USNORTHCOM User ID and Password is required to access the site. When an incident occurs, ARNORTH conducts a search of military and federal installations within 200 miles of the incident area. As the JFLCC, ARNORTH provides the entire list of installations to NORTHCOM and as the ASCC, ARNORTH provides the Army installations to HQDA, G-34 (Domestic Support) and HQ, IMCOM G-33 for review and update of their BSI data sheets. For a no notice event, time is short as NORTHCOM will host the BSI teleconference at N+6. Therefore, ARNORTH will ask HQDA to update installation capabilities immediately. ARNORTH will ask for updated information on the BSIs and whether or not the potential installations have concurrence from DA to be nominated as BSIs. Each service will conduct BSI analysis on their Service s installations for the NORTHCOM BSI teleconference. ARNORTH prepares for the NORTHCOM BSI teleconference with the staff analyzing BSI data sheets and information obtained from the Regional Defense coordinating Officer/element. The staff will provide installation supportability input to the G-3 at the Future Operations Cell (FOC) Base support Installation meeting and as a group, determine recommended BSIs for submission to the G-3 and Commander. The ARNORTH Commander will provide the installations to pursue and those installations are recommended to NORTHCOM at the BSI teleconference. The BSI teleconference itself is hosted by the NORTHCOM JLOC with all Services attending and providing recommendations of concurrence or non-concurrence on their Service s potential BSIs. The ARNORTH FOC will convene for the NORTHCOM BSI teleconference with the ARNORTH FOC G-3 representative as the ARNORTH lead. 19-3

152 NORTHCOM will review the potential BSI list with each service to determine if the installation can fulfill BSI responsibilities and determine primary and alternate BSI recommendations. If NORTHCOM and the owning Service agree that the installation can provide BSI support, that installation will be considered for use. If the owning Service does not concur with NORTHCOM on an installation, that installation will remain on the potential BSI listing. If both NORTHCOM and the owning service agree that installation cannot perform BSI responsibilities, that installation will be removed from the potential BSI list. NORTHCOM JLOC forwards the recommended BSIs to the NORTHCOM J3 and CCDR for BSI designation. For DSCA incidents, the Secretary of Defense delegated authority to the CCDR to select BSIs, with Service concurrence. If the CCDR does not receive Service concurrence, the Secretary of Defense will designate the BSI. For CBRN incidents, The Secretary of Defense reserves authority to designate BSIs. Therefore, in a CBRN environment, the CCDR will forward BSI recommendations to the Secretary of Defense for BSI designation. When the BSI is designated, NORTHCOM will publish a FRAGO directing Services to provide designated installations as BSIs at N

153 Services will publish an order to their installation directing that installation to provide BSI Support to DOD forces. Figure
