EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES DEFINITIONS The Georgia Department of Defense (GA DOD) consists of four distinct branches; the Joint Forces Headquarters Georgia (JFHQ-GA), Georgia Army National Guard (GA ARNG), Georgia Air National Guard (GA ANG), and the Georgia State Defense Force (GSDF). Each of the branches can support the 10 essential capabilities for Domestic Operations: aviation / airlift, command and control, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) response, engineering, medical, communications, transportation, security, logistics, and maintenance. GA DOD is capable of operating as the lead for other National Guard personnel from other States, Active Component and US Army Reserve organizations (Title X personnel) in a Dual Status Command organization to maintain command and control of all military forces within the State of Georgia. The JFHQ-GA is a Joint component comprised of Army and Air National Guard personnel. This organization coordinates Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) in direct support of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA). The organizations major function is to coordinate with GEMA and provide Command and Control through the Joint Operations Center (JOC). The GA ARNG is comprised of more than 12,000 Citizen Soldiers who perform duty in some 60 different armories located across the state. These Soldiers are assigned to a wide variety of units, and equipped with the latest equipment and technology. The types of units in the GA ARNG include infantry, field artillery, transportation, engineer, military police, logistics, communications, maintenance, medical, aviation, and chemical/ biological/ radiological/ nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) response forces. GA ARNGs rotary wing aviation consists of Blackhawks, Chinooks, and Lakotas. The GA ANG consists of 3,000 Airmen and officers assigned to two flying wings and six geographically separated units across Georgia. These units have state of the art training and equipment and perform the following type missions: airlift, airborne surveillance, airborne command and control, initial area assessment, airspace management, communications operations installation, engineering, CBRNE, medical, security, and support. GA DOD has additional specialized capabilities which include the National Guard Response Force which acts as a State and regional immediate response force capable of conducting DSCA tasks in support of multiple states with a mobilization timeline of 100 personnel in 4 hours and the entire organization of 500 in 24 hours without prior notification. The Civil Support Team (CST) is a small 22 person specialized organization proficient in CBRNE response capable of responding in 3 hours. The Homeland Response Force (HRF) is a regional support element capable of performing Command and Control of multiple CST teams and several Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear Enhanced Response Force Package (CERF-P) which can respond in 12 hours. The CERF-P is capable of performing Search and Recovery, Medical and v FEBRUARY 2015
EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES Decontamination Operations in a Dirty environment composed of nearly 200 personnel who can respond in 6 hours. The GSDF is an all-volunteer, structured, uniformed, and unsalaried branch of GA DOD authorized by Georgia law. The purpose of the GSDF is to augment the Georgia National Guard by providing trained volunteers to assist in activities such as disaster relief efforts and humanitarian causes. The GSDF is organized into military units and has various levels of training in medical support, ground search and rescue, traffic and crowd control, and physical security. vi FEBRUARY 2015

EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES I. INTRODUCTION A. The Governor of Georgia is empowered by both the U.S. and Georgia State Constitutions to execute the laws of the State and command the units from the Georgia Department of Defense (GA DOD), when serving in State status. The GA DOD consists of the Georgia Army National Guard and Air National Guard (GA ANG), and the Georgia State Defense Forces (GSDF). Although the primary responsibility of the GA DOD is to provide forces to their respective Federal services for fighting the Nation s wars, they are particularly well suited for and provide the vast majority of Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) during emergencies and disasters. B. When activated, the GA DOD is not constrained by the same limitations as Federal troops. It has access to military equipment and provides an organized, well-trained pool of manpower thoroughly familiar with local conditions and geography. II. PURPOSE A. The purpose of this Support Annex is to establish procedures used by Chatham County to integrate and coordinate GA DOD assets and resources to prepare for, respond to, and/or recover from, an emergency and/or disaster. B. This document can also be utilized by GA DOD when developing contingency plans and support packages for emergency response efforts in Chatham County. III. SCOPE A. With the exception of immediate response authorities and support provided under mutual aid agreements, DSCA does not include a First Responder capability. B. GA DOD resources may not be immediately available due to the Department s primary mission, and local authorities must be prepared to conduct the initial response with limited GA DOD assistance. GA DOD assets may require some time to mobilize, train, and deploy to a Request for Assistance (RFA). IV. AUTHORITIES A. Authorities: This Annex is developed under the authority of the Chairman of the Board of the County Commission, Chatham County, Georgia; and the Director of the Chatham Emergency Management Agency, Chatham 1 FEBRUARY 2015
EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES County, Georgia. This Annex supersedes all similar and previous versions to date. B. Chatham Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) has primary responsibility for compliance with provisions of the Chatham County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), and Disaster Recovery Plan; therefore will have primary responsibility for ensuring execution of activities outlined in this Annex and supporting documents. C. This Annex is developed in accordance with the legal references below 1. FEDERAL. a. National Response Framework, January 2008 b. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 32, Part 185 Military Support to Civil Authorities c. Department of Defense Directive 3025.1, Military Support to Civil Authorities, January 15, 1993. 2. STATE: a. Constitution of the State of Georgia b. Georgia Emergency Management Act of 1981, as amended c. Georgia Emergency Operations Plan (GA EOP), Support Annex DSCA d. Georgia National Guard Emergency Response Support Capability Handbook, June 13, 2008. 3. COUNTY: V. ASSUMPTIONS a. EOP, 2012. b. Chapter 4, Article III, of the Chatham County Code, Emergency Management, March 24, 2012 A. GA DOD units will not respond to requests for assistance directly from civil authorities (other than GEMA) except to save human life, prevent extreme human suffering, or to prevent destruction of property (Immediate Response Authority). 2 FEBRUARY 2015
EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES B. Activation and use of large scale GA DOD Resources by civil authorities requires a State of Emergency or Disaster Declaration by the Governor. C. The Governor retains operational authority over all GA DOD forces. D. Civil authorities making a request for GA DOD resources must have exhausted local resources, or the required resources are not available locally. E. All requests for GA DOD assistance from Chatham County must be processed through CEMA and GEMA. F. State activated GA DOD assets are deployed in a State-funded status and do not necessarily have to be in a State of Emergency or Disaster Declaration to support. G. All military forces, either State or Federal, remain under and follow their military chain of command. VI. IMPLEMENTATION A. The primary responsibility for disaster relief rests with local and/or State governments, and with those Federal agencies designated by statute. B. When an emergency situation is so severe and widespread, and an effective response and support is beyond the capacity of local and State civilian agencies, and civil resources have been exhausted, assistance may be requested from the GA DOD. C. This Annex serves as a guidance document for working with the GA DOD once an RFA or Mutual-Aid request has been issued. VII. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Immediate Response Authority: Imminently serious conditions resulting from any civil emergency may require immediate action to save lives, prevent human suffering, or mitigate property damage. When such conditions exist and time does not permit approval from higher headquarters, local military commanders and responsible officials from all DOD components and agencies (State and Federal), are authorized to take necessary action to respond to RFAs. This response must be consistent with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 USC 1385), which generally prohibits Federal military personnel and Federalized national guard personnel from acting in a law enforcement capacity (e.g., search, seizures, arrests) within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the United States Constitution or United States Congress. 3 FEBRUARY 2015
EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES B. Mutual Aid Agreements: GA DOD units may be authorized to enter into Mutual Aid Agreements with local civil authorities. Mutual-aid agreements are between agencies, organizations, and jurisdictions that provide a mechanism to quickly obtain emergency assistance in the form of personnel, equipment, materials, and other associated services. The 165th Airlift Wing Fire Department of the GA ANG is an active ESF-04 (Fire Response), Partner within Chatham County, and has an agreement to provide firefighting assets to civilian fire departments when practical. C. Requests for Assistance: When requesting assistance from GA DOD, a RFA will be generated from the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to the State Operations Center (SOC). The RFA from the EOC should be mission specific, not a request for specific equipment or personnel (unless needed to clarify the request) including the 5Ws and Point of Contact (POC) information. 1. Examples of mission specific requests include: a. Provide air or land transportation for: (type of equipment or number of personnel with pickup and drop-off points and time for mission execution). b. Provide security and traffic control for: (a specific area, and/or jurisdiction for an estimated time period). c. Establish a mobile communications station: (outlining the communications capability needed and duration) d. Establish and operate a mass feeding station.(defining the number of people to fed, location, and number of times per day as well as the length of time required to be in operation) e. Establish a water purification station (with estimated gallons of water / day required, location, and duration of mission). 2. See Appendix 1, GA DOD RFA Tasking Flow Chart. D. GA DOD Capabilities. DSCA may include but is not limited to: backup/supplemental communications, transportation (fixed wing and rotary wing air and ground), mobile control tower operations, maintenance, emergency feeding, area security, Point of Distribution (POD) support, emergency equipment, logistical support, medical care and water supply, power generation, search and rescue, CBRNE / decontamination assistance, command and control, engineering support, and limited firefighting assistance. See Appendix 2, GA DOD Capability Force Support Packages (October 2014). 4 FEBRUARY 2015
EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES E. Communications. 1. General: Communications during any emergency event may be a challenge. Mass communications networks including radio and land line communications methods routinely used by both government and private agencies may not be operational or available. Communications to, from, and between units/agencies in the field may be difficult. Because of this possibility, both government and private agencies should maintain redundant communications capabilities with the County EOC. GA DOD may be requested to augment established/damaged communications networks. 2. Communications Methods: Regardless of the location of the County EOC, available communications resources will be coordinated through ESF-02 (Communications) and may include: a. Commercial Land Line Telephone b. Commercial Satellite Telephone c. 800 MHz Radio d. UHF Radio e. VHF Radio f. HF and other Ham Radio Frequencies (ARES) g. Internet Connectivity h. Message Courier i. Commercial Radio and Television Stations F. Public Information: All information released pertaining GA DOD operational support to Chatham County during an event will be coordinated through the Joint Information Center. G. Training and Exercises: During exercises and other emergency planning activities, the use of GA DOD resources should be considered. See Appendix 3, Potential/Anticipated RFAs to GA DOD. GA DOD can participate in DSCA exercises. However, because of their long range planning and scheduling of training, coordination for full scale exercises should be done two years out for a robust size force. Their staffs have 5 FEBRUARY 2015
EOP / SUPPORT ANNEX G INTEGRATING AND COORDINATING DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES more flexibility and can participate in everything from seminars to functional exercises for shorter range requirements. VIII. RESPONSIBILITIES A. CEMA Director (Director): In the event of an EOC activation, the Director will make notifications to County Commissioners as required, the County Manager, and appropriate County Department Heads. The CEMA Director serves as a liaison and advisor to the Command Policy Group. His role is to serve as the EOC Manager, oversee EOC functions, collect incidentrelated forecasts and/or information and relay information, along with his professional recommendations, to the Command Policy Group for decisions and declarations. The Director also has signature authority and responsibility to issues and/or requests through the County and GEMA. During times of community crisis or major events, the CEMA Director may serve as the lead spokesperson to the community and primary subject matter expert in relation to the County s emergency management function. B. CEMA Deputy Director (Deputy): The Deputy provides the supervisory role across EOC functional elements. He/she takes recommendations from the CEMA Duty Officer and determines EOC activations, operations and terminations through consultation with the CEMA Director. In the event activation of the EOC is ordered, the Deputy will make notifications to CEMA Staff and the GEMA Area V Field Coordinator. The Deputy s primary role is to serve as the EOC Operations Section Chief and Assistant EOC Manager. He/She will take the responsibilities of the CEMA Director when required. C. EOC Operations Section Chief (OSC): OSC manages the incident s EOC response activities and implements the Incident Action Plan (IAP) for the appropriate operational period. This includes prioritizing and allocating resources and approving RFAs to GEMA for additional resource support. The OSC confers with the GA DOD LNO to determine the availability of GA DOD resources, and provides any required pre-tasking/mission coordination. D. GA DOD LNO: The GA DOD LNO is CEMA s primary POC with GA DOD, and provides direct support to Chatham County during emergency situations in which the EOC is activated. This position has the responsibility of coordinating the RFAs to the SOC and GA DOD s JOC affecting GA DOD resources. The GA DOD LNO is primarily staffed by the 165th Airlift Wing, GA ANG, Savannah. Ga DOD will augment the 165 th Military Airlift Wing LNO with an Army LNO during large scale DSCA missions. 6 FEBRUARY 2015
