Purpose and Mission

PPuurrppoossee This handbook represents command level operational planning, mission description and mission execution guidance that provides a common understanding, organizational focus and unity of effort among all organizations assigned, attached and aligned to the Continental United States NORAD region and First Air Force (Air Forces Northern). These organizations function as part of the United States Theater Air Control System (USTACS) supporting North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) operational missions. This guidance applies to the AFNORTH component headquarters (AFFOR) and Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) staffs, sectors, wings and other subordinate organizations assigned, attached and aligned to AFNORTH in support of DSCA missions. For purposes of brevity throughout this document, 1 AF (AFNORTH) will be referred to as AFNORTH.

CCoommmmaannddeerr’’ss IInntteenntt Homeland defense is the highest priority for NORAD-USNORTHCOM and AFNORTH. Both Commands are integral parts of an active, layered defense in which we seek to confront, early and at safe distance, those who threaten us. NORAD-USNORTHCOM and AFNORTH will act in a timely, and when appropriate, coordinated fashion in concert with our mission partners to detect, deter, prevent and defeat threats to our

homelands. When directed by USNORTHCOM AFNORTH will provide military support to civil authorities quickly, efficiently and effectively. My AFNORTH intent is to apply the full spectrum of USAF air, space and information operations capabilities in support of the NORAD-USNORTHCOM missions within my area of operations to ensure the safety and security of our citizens.

NORAD and USNORTHCOM Strategic Goals and Objectives will serve as the basis for the Combatant Commander‘s (COCOM) priorities. AFNORTH and subordinate unit goals and objectives will directly support COCOM Strategic Goals and Objectives through application of defined USAF capabilities.

TThhee TThhrreeaatt EEnnvviirroonnmmeenntt Symmetric Threats. A number of nation-states and emerging transnational organizations possess a wide range of conventional and nuclear weapons and the capacity for employing them at global ranges via delivery platforms such as strategic and fighter aircraft, cruise missiles (CM), submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBM), theater ballistic missiles (TBM) and sophisticated unmanned/uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAV). These more traditional military threats are typically detectable, predictable, homogenous, hierarchical, and slow to change. There is no anticipated mal-intent within the timeframe of this Flight Plan but the capabilities exist. Asymmetric Threats. Asymmetric threats from today‘s terrorist organizations are unpredictable, diverse, increasingly networked, and dynamic. In many cases organizations do not represent nation-states but carry the banners and pursue the causes of many ethnic, religious, and tribal groups. Many of the technologies and materials they seek - such as disruptive systems or the ingredients required to fabricate weapons of mass destruction (WMD)—are readily accessible on world markets. The availability of WMD to these groups is of vital concern to the United States and NORAD-USNORTHCOM. Terrorists do not operate on conventional

battlefields. They thrive in the ―gray area‖ where traditional criminal laws and the law of armed conflict overlap. These organizations will attempt surprise as they adopt an array of disruptive and destructive capabilities. Time is a proven asymmetric weapon; relying on us to slowly let down our guard due to increasingly reduced expectations of attack. Asymmetric threats are hard to deter, especially if founded on religious beliefs. Organizations with such beliefs are highly motivated, flexible and are willing to operate over the long term to achieve success. Their focus is economic, psychological (social/symbolic), critical infrastructure and political.

Natural and Man-made Disasters. AFNORTH also operates in an environment that includes natural and manmade disasters. Natural disasters such as massive wild land fires, hurricanes,

earthquakes, or pandemics can overwhelm local responders and may require allocation of military resources to assist civil authorities to mitigate the effects of a disaster and provide for recovery and relief efforts. The same applies to man-made disasters resulting from either accidental or intentional

behavior such as the aftermath of a successful terrorist WMD attack which could cause mass panic or catastrophic loss of life and requiring substantial military support to civil authorities. The nation will continue to posture its homeland defense resources to defend critical infrastructure and national centers of gravity with responsive air defense forces. While no one can predict the future, current trends indicate a security and natural environment with the following characteristics that are of particular interest to NORAD and USNORTHCOM.

Some nation-states will continue to pose symmetric challenges on the global scene with increasing capabilities including aircraft, kinetic weapons, ballistic and cruise

Page 10: AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK - …downloads.slugsite.com/1AF-capabilities-2009.pdf · AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK 1 January 2009 3 ... Continental United States NORAD region and

missiles.

Terrorism will remain a focus because it will continue to be unpredictable, credible, well organized, and well financed.

Both symmetric and asymmetric threats will continually evolve with new capabilities such as kinetic and non-kinetic attacks on national information and space systems. All threats have potential chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological and high explosive (CBRNE) capabilities. In addition, they all execute highly effective information operations across the entire spectrum of conflict.

Globalization will continue, creating opportunities for economic growth, and providing an impetus for political freedoms and accelerating the spread of disease, weapons of mass destruction, extremist ideologies, and terrorism.

Some disasters will recur on a seasonable basis (fire, flood, and hurricane) but their precise location and severity are unknown. Other disasters are completely unpredictable (earthquake, catastrophic explosive events, etc) in location and severity. We must be prepared to respond to both.

Regardless of the type of threat, AFNORTH and its subordinate units must be prepared to accomplish the homeland defense and DSCA missions individually or simultaneously.

PPoolliittiiccaall--MMiilliittaarryy EEnnvviirroonnmmeenntt The U.S. homeland represents a complex political-military environment that is different from any other Combatant Commander‘s (COCOM) area of operations (AOR). Instead of a homogeneous military joint operations area (JOA) under a single air

commander and free of other air components, the AFNORTH JOA is home to a number of COCOM air force component headquarters (AFCHQ) and USAF major commands. Unity of command is achieved by ensuring there are a clear division of geography and labor and a spirit of mutual support and cooperation among these commands AFNORTH operates successfully within and embraces a unique United States military environment and culture of ―Total Force Integration‖ between active duty, Reserve and Guard forces. Often the National Guard operates in State status, normally under the direct supervision of the Governor and The Adjutant General (TAG) of each state to which they are assigned. AFNORTH uses an approved legal model based on Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the Governors to receive the services of Air National Guard (ANG) volunteers on short notice to execute federal missions. In the prelude to and aftermath of disasters, such as hurricanes, AFNORTH strives to partner with the national guard leadership to achieve unity of effort with the ANG by providing air component planning, de-confliction and coordinating capabilities to state ANG organizations – serving as America‘s Air and Space Operations Center (AOC). This coordination also provides CDRUSNORTHCOM and the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) situational awareness of the affected air, space and information domain even before Title 10 forces are requested. AFNORTH works within a civilian interagency environment (Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Secret Service (USSS), etc) with government and civilian organizations that apply air and space effects prior to (crisis management) and after (consequence management) a disaster. This continuous interaction achieves unity of effort for planning, de-confliction and coordination.

Unity of command is a prime principle of war and is critical to focused operations. Stitching the seam between Title 10 and Title 32 forces can be problematic. When Title 10 forces are called to assist in a disaster, State governors and TAGs are generally

reluctant to relinquish control of state forces to another military organization thereby losing control of the priority, timing and effects they seek to achieve in the area of operations. Likewise, parallel operations within a JOA by uncoordinated forces may cause unsafe and inefficient operations and in some cases, results in operations with opposing objectives and activity. AFNORTH seeks ―unity of effort‖ with state and interagency air capabilities by providing a trained USAF air component headquarters (AFCHQ) staff and associated capabilities to state joint force headquarters even before Title 10 forces are introduced into the JOA. It is in NORTHCOM‘s interest to have AFNORTH heavily involved in the planning and execution of air and space efforts to provide safety, de-confliction and efficiency of operations.

Mission Statements: NORAD and USNORTHCOM have complementary missions. The two Commands share common values, understanding the urgency and significance of our duties in the light of very real and present dangers. The NORAD Agreement assigns the mission and responsibilities for Commander NORAD while unified Command Plan establishes the missions and responsibilities for Commander USNORTHCOM. We continually evaluate these mission statements to ensure they remain relevant and appropriate. NORAD Mission: In close collaboration with homeland defense, security, and law enforcement partners, prevent air attacks against North America, safeguard the sovereign airspaces of the United States and Canada by responding to unknown, unwanted and unauthorized air activity approaching and operating within these airspaces, and provide aerospace and maritime warning for North America. USNORTHCOM Mission: USNORTHCOM anticipates and conducts Homeland Defense and Civil Support operations within the assigned area of responsibility to defend, protect, and secure the United States and its interests.

Vision Statement: NORAD and USNORTHCOM shall become a Center of Excellence for Defending Our Homelands. We will serve as a universal model for collaboration, integrating aerospace and maritime warning, aerospace control and multi-domain homeland defense. We will champion collaborative efforts to take on challenging issues and develop solutions that are effective, efficient, unbiased and in the best interests of all whom we serve. We will aggressively explore and develop new, innovative and imaginative ways of thinking and willingly share our best practices. Our most solemn obligation is to defend our homelands. NORAD and USNORTHCOM are committed to being leaders in continental and homeland defense for the United States and Canada, within the laws and policies set forth by both nations. We cannot afford to fail. Continually challenging assumptions and the status quo is crucial to our Commands‘ ability to defend, protect, and secure our homelands, and to respond appropriately to threats in a timely manner. We will respond not a minute too soon, or stay a second too long. In providing defense support of civil authorities, we respond to natural and manmade disasters and to help save lives, prevent loss, and mitigate suffering. We must constantly challenge ―the way it is‖ in favor of ―the way it ought to be.‖ As we look to the year 2020, we ensure success by creating, refining and transforming our operations as necessary to achieve unity of effort and unity of results. Innovation is key, as we continually reevaluate our processes, procedures and organizations, ensuring all efforts lead effectively to the best possible defense and security of our homelands. Our charter is clear--we must actively seek and aggressively advocate solutions that serve the best collective interests of national security and continental defense.

The Mission Support Division sustains the CAOC operating infrastructure and ensures continuity of operations in the event of power and communications outages. The AFNORTH area of operations is the entire USNORTHCOM AOR. However, for civil support operations, the specific AFNORTH assigned area of operations is the Continental United States (CONUS), US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico (CONUS-VIPR). Alaska is supported by 11th Air Force.

USAF DSCA is not just about air and space power missions. AFNORTH meets its DSCA responsibilities using both air domain and non-air domain capabilities. The following chart presents examples of the mission types and capabilities planned, executed and supported by AFNORTH.

Chapter 2 Air Component Coordination Element

(ACCE)

General. The JFACC may establish one or more ACCE teams with other State, JTF and sister component headquarters to better integrate USNORTHCOM air and space operations with their own operations and within the joint force. When established, ACCE teams serve as the JFACC’s primary representatives to the respective organizational leaders/commanders and facilitate interaction among the respective staffs. As liaison elements, ACCE teams remain OPCON to the JFACC. State/JTF organizations may already have existing USAF joint staff billets within their organizations. Those USAF members remain under OPCON of the JTF Commander and his/her staff. ACCE Mission. The ACCE is a liaison element and does not direct or employ air and space forces. The ACCE using the ―reach-back‖ concept, facilitates the integration of air and space power by exchanging current intelligence, operational data, support requirements and coordinating the integration of COMAFFOR/JFACC requirements for airspace coordinating measures, joint fire support coordinating measures, and close air support. (AFDD 2) ACCE Composition. An ACCE team may be as small as a single individual (liaison officer) or a large presence (team) depending on the scope of the operation and the size of the staff they will liaise with. Usually the ACCE Director will be a USAF senior officer in the rank of O-6 or higher. ACCE expertise can include plans, operations, imagery, airspace management, logistics, space, air mobility and search and rescue, as needed. The ACCE does not replace, replicate, or circumvent normal theater request mechanisms already in place, nor does it supplant normal planning performed by the CAOC and AFFOR staff.

National Security Emergency Preparedness Directorate NSEP Directors of Operation (DOs). DOs are active duty officers and civilians assigned with oversight of specific geographical areas (FEMA Regions). They serve as day-to-day Subject Matter Experts on their AOR, interact directly with their assigned FEMA Region Defense Coordinating Officers (DCOs) and orchestrate the activities of the AF Reservist (EPLOs) in their region. DOs coordinate assistance (briefings, visits, training, NSSE support, and exercises); acquire information and situational awareness about their AOR: and engage with their assigned EPLOs. Emergency Preparedness Liaison

Officers (EPLO). EPLOs are AF Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA) reservists geographically dispersed throughout the 54 states and territories, ten FEMA Regions and higher federal/military Photo courtesy Combat Camera Hurricane Gustov medical evacuation headquarters to establish and maintain seamless relationships with all AF bases, State EOCs, FEMA Regions, CAP Wings and AFNORTH. During a disaster or disaster response requirements, EPLOs analyze AF capabilities, recommend Courses of Action (COAs). They also coordinate all Requests for Assistance from civil authorities and Mission Assignments (MAs). They also make recommendations about AF installations that may serve as Base Support Installations, Logistic Staging Areas or Mobility Centers. Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) Cell. The DSCA Cell is an NSEP ―Back Shop‖, that is established during emergency responses to support the EPLOs and the AFNORTH CAT.

Chapter 4 Air Mobility Operations

ORGANIZATON Director Mobility Forces – Air (DIRMOBFOR-Air) AFNORTH has a continuing relationship with attached DIRMOBFOR-Air officers that coordinate the overall mobility effort for the JFACC/CFACC, and act as the primary liaison between AFNORTH and United States Transportation Command (USSTRANSCOM), Air Mobility Command (AMC) and the 618th Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC) during contingency operations. The DIRMOBFOR and staff work closely with the AMD to orchestrate the mobility operation between AMC, USNORTHCOM, AFNORTH and potentially multiple JTF‘s. The AMD works closely with the DIRMOBFOR staff to coordinate and monitor airlift and mobility missions within the AOR. This data collection takes many forms, to include C2 systems such as GDSS, SMS, and TBMCS, and the establishment of relationships with the NORTHCOM DDOC, AMC and the TRANSCOM DDOC.

CAOC Air Mobility Division (AMD). In coordination with the DIRMOBFOR-Air, the AMD plans, coordinates, tasks, and executes the theater air mobility mission. This includes air refueling and airlift support to Operation NOBLE EAGLE and civil support missions such as Hurricane Hunters (HH), Modular Aerial Spray System (MASS), and the Military Airborne Firefighting System (MAFFS). During contingencies, this mission expands to provide the JFACC/CFACC with a single air mobility picture in the USNORTHCOM AOR to include state directed Air National Guard forces (Title 32) and federal directed active duty forces (Title 10). By providing this information, the AFNORTH AMD is able to ensure continuity and synchronization, prevent duplication of effort, enhance safety and promote efficiency of assets across the entire air mobility spectrum of operations. Air Mobility Division Chief. Responsible to the AOC Director for the direction and supervision of the AMD, and is the point of contact for all air mobility operations in the AOR.

Airlift Control Team (ALCT). The ALCT is the source of intra-theater airlift expertise within the AMD. The ALCT brings intra-theater airlift functional expertise to plan, task, and coordinate intra-theater airlift operations for the COMAFFOR. The ALCT has three responsibilities: planning, tactics development, and long-range requirement determination. In the AFNORTH AOR, virtually all airlift missions are planned by AMC/TACC at Scott AFB with coordination through the ALCT. DSCA missions, including HH, MASS, and MAFFS provide exceptions. For DSCA, the ALCT provides planning efforts and coordination with individual units and lead civilian agencies to achieve desired goals while also incorporating in the USNORTHCOM ATO. Air Refueling Control Team (ARCT). The ARCT is the source of air refueling expertise within the AMD. The ARCT coordinates air refueling planning, tasking, and scheduling to support all intra-theater air refueling for combat airpower to satisfy the requirements of COMAFFOR or JFACC/CFACC. These missions range from Operation NOBLE EAGLE to DSCA operations. Air Mobility Control Team (AMCT). The AMCT serves as the centralized source for air mobility command, control, and communications during execution of air mobility operations. The AMCT Tanker/Airlift Duty Officer (TADO) position is embedded within the Combat Operations Division, in the AFNORTH/AOC, in order to react to changing air mobility requirements. The TADO directs or redirects air mobility forces in concert with other air forces to respond to changing requirements, changing priorities, or immediate execution limitations. The TADO works closely with TACC to effectively utilize AMC resources to support the AFNORTH mission.

Aeromedical Evacuation Control Team (AECT) The AECT is responsible for aeromedical evacuation (AE) operational

29

planning, scheduling, tasking, and assisting the AMCT with execution and monitoring. The AECT coordinates airlift support and evaluates available air mobility airframes assigned to or transiting the theater for possible tasking to meet theater AE requirements. The AFNORTH CAOC/AMD does not have a standing AECT. During

contingency operations, if aeromedical evacuation is required, AMD augmentation is typically provided by AMC to form an AECT at the AFNORTH AOC for the purpose of providing the JFACC a single air mobility picture. In cases where augmentation is not available, the AMD ensures that coordination is taking place between AFNORTH/SG and the Global Patient Movement Requirements Center (GPMRC) at Scott AFB, IL to coordinate and accomplish any USNORTHCOM directed aeromedical evacuation.

Regional Air Movement Coordination Center (RAMCC). The AFNORTH RAMCC is part of the J-CONOPS for Air Mobility during Crisis Response. This organization stands up during contingencies to provide management of airflow into and out of designated airfields for the purpose of maximizing personnel and cargo throughput. The RAMCC coordinates with military C2 elements (CRG/CRE/CRT) present at the airfields to determine Maximum on Ground (MOG) limitations and factors that affect airflow. The RAMCC then coordinates with the FAA, TACC, NGB and ALCT to determine and issue slot times for aircraft transiting the contingency airfield. AMD UNIQUE MISSIONS Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS). MAFFS is a modular unit designed for insertion into modified C130E/H aircraft to disperse up to 3,000 gallons

(27,000 pounds) of fire retardant or an equivalent amount of water. The MAFFS equipment is owned and maintained by the United States Forest Service (USFS), and is housed at each of the air reserve component flying wings to assist in the suppression of forest, range and wildland fires on a regional basis. The Military Airborne Fire Fighting System-II (MAFFS-II) is a replacement system utilizing a single retardant tank and nozzle plus a foam tank that will increase the capabilities and reduce the logistics trail and the amount of post-season corrosion control needed for the aircraft. Modular Aerial Spray System (MASS). A modular unit designed for insertion into modified C130H aircraft to disperse up to 2,000 gallons of chemical. The MASS provides a large-area, fixed-wing aerial spray capability to control insect-borne disease vectors, vegetation, and

pests of vegetation in combat areas, DOD installations, non-DOD property, or in response to declared emergencies. The MASS can also be used in coordination with JDOMS and the US Coast Guard, to apply dispersants to support oil spill cleanup and removal operations.

Hurricane Hunters (HH). AFRC's 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (53 WRS), operates specially equipped WC130J aircraft to conduct hurricane/tropical cyclone reconnaissance, synoptic

surveillance, and research missions. These aircraft use onboard sensors, dropsondes, and buoys to collect and transmit weather data back to the Chief Aerial Reconnaissance Coordination All Hurricanes (CARCAH) at the National Hurricane Center.

Distinguished Visitor (DV) Travel Monitoring The AMD TADO monitors the military air movements of NORAD, USNORTHCOM, and AFNORTH leadership to include the CDRNORAD/USNORTHCOM, JFACC/CFACC and principal deputies.

AIR MOBILITY FIELD UNITS

Airbase/Airfield Opening – Contingency Response Group/ Element/Team (CRG/CRE/CRT). These cross-functional teams are designed to rapidly deploy without formal request, to support opening airbases/airfields or extending existing airfield infrastructure. Both USTRANSCOM and ANG have units, and vary in size from 12 – 113 member teams depending on the support required. Their capabilities include airfield assessment, airfield operations, C2, aerial port, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control, intelligence, security forces, fuels, supply, contracting and finance. AMC has six CRG units located at two Contingency Response Wings; the 615th at Travis AFB and the 621st at McGuire AFB. The ANG has two CRG‘s, the 123rd CRG at Louisville, KY and the 108th CRG at McGuire AFB, NJ. The CRG/CRE is OPCON to USTRANSCOM, but may change

Chapter 5 Search and Rescue (SAR)

Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC). The United States Air Force is designated by the National Search and Rescue Plan (NSP) as the Search and Rescue (SAR) Coordinator for the U.S. aeronautical Search and Rescue Region (SRR) corresponding to the continental U.S. other than Alaska. The Secretary of the Air Force (SecAF) has delegated this responsibility through HQ ACC/CC to 1 AF/CC. The AFRCC coordinates federal

search and rescue (SAR) services ensuring timely and effective lifesaving operations. Additionally, the AFRCC conducts advanced SAR planning instruction through the National SAR School to federal, state, and local agencies as well as volunteer SAR organizations and controllers. The AFRCC is an active duty squadron integrated into the 601st Air and Space Operations Center at Tyndall Air Force, FL. The AFRCC is responsible for coordinating all federal inland commercial, military, and interstate aeronautical SAR in the contiguous U.S., and assists Mexico and

Canada, if requested. The responsibilities include

Initiating searches for missing/overdue aircraft (e.g. all DOD, commercial and interstate aircraft or intra-state aircraft if requested by the state).

Managing all inland emergency beacon searches: 121.5, 243.0 and 406 MHz Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTS) on

aircraft, Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) for maritime environment, and Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) that are used in all environments (e.g. hikers, mountain climbers, anyone who has the capability of getting lost could use a PLB).

Brokering federal assets to support state and local SAR operations (e.g. missing person searches, MEDEVAC, organ transport, transport of ground search and rescue units and special capabilities).

AFRCC is the world-wide tertiary Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) Support Center for global alerts and Primary support Center USNORTHCOM CSEL alerts.

National Search and Rescue Plan (NSP). It is the policy of the signatory federal agencies to provide a National Search and Rescue Plan for the United States for coordinating search and rescue (SAR) services to meet domestic needs and international commitments. Implementing guidance for this Plan is provided in the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue (IAMSAR) Manual and the National Search and Rescue Supplement (NSS) and supporting Addenda. The NSP describes the U.S. SAR organization, key authorities and their responsibilities, primary principles and policies within the SAR system. The NSP is solely intended to provide internal guidance to all signatory federal agencies. State organizations retain established SAR responsibilities within their boundaries for incidents primarily local or intrastate in character. As such, the AFRCC maintains Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) between each state Governor and 1 AF/CC that establish SAR responsibilities between the designated Inland SAR Coordinator and each state. A Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) exists between the Governor‘s designated State SAR Coordinator and AFRCC/CC (SAR Mission Coordinator) on how the SAR responsibilities are conducted in each individual state. Joint Personnel Recovery Center (JPRC). IAW OPORD 08-01, CDRUSNORTHCOM designated the JFACC as ―The Supported PR Commander‖ and establishes the NORTHCOM JPRC in the 601st Air and Space Operations Center to plan and execute joint DOD (Title 10)

Personnel Recovery (PR) for NORTHCOM‘s AOR and Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) in support of state Catastrophic Incident SAR (CIS) operations. The JPRC plans, coordinates, and executes joint CIS missions, coordinates CIS procedures published in the air tasking order (ATO) and special instructions (SPINS), reviews theater plans, and coordinates joint training and exercises. Emergency Support Function #9 (ESF #9). DHS/FEMA activates ESF #9 ―Search and Rescue‖ when an incident is anticipated or occurs that may result in a request for a unified Federal SAR response to an impacted area. DOD is one of the four primary federal partners for ESF #9. Following a Presidential disaster declaration, the designated lead primary agency for ESF #9 coordinates federal SAR response

with Federal, State, Tribal, Territorial, and locally designated SAR authorities to integrate Federal SAR resources to support the requesting state.

Global Area Reference System (GARS). GARS is a standardized area reference system used across DOD and Civil Air Patrol (CAP) which can be used to de-conflict deliberate SAR operations. It is based on the standard latitude (LAT) and longitude (LONG) system to provide an integrated common frame of reference for joint force situational awareness to facilitate air-to-ground coordination, de-confliction, integration, and synchronization. This area reference system provides a common language between the components and simplifies communications. It is important to note that GARS is primarily designed as a battle-space management tool and not to be used for navigation or targeting. GARS Design. GARS divides the surface of the earth into 30-minute

Chapter 6 Civil Air Patrol

Air Force Auxiliary (CAP – AFAUX)

When tasked by the Air Force, Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in its Air Force Auxiliary (AFAUX) role, can support federal state and local authorities, performing various Reconnaissance, Emergency Services, Homeland Security and Disaster Relief missions. CAP has over 55,000 volunteers and a fleet of 550 aircraft nationwide (including Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands) available for tasking, generally with a 4-hour response time. USAF assigned missions are those missions flown under a Federal

Mission Number and performed as the AFAUX. While performing USAF-assigned missions the USAF maintains control over AFAUX assets directly through CDRAFNORTH or through the requesting Air Force organization, as determined by USAF. With advanced coordination, CAP/AFAUX forces can be postured to a responsive alert status with a capability to launch within minutes. For non-immediate response incidents, it is imperative to plan ahead and make requests early enough to ensure timely approval of requests through the normal AFNORTH ATO process.

Airborne Real-Time Cueing HyperSpectral Enhanced Reconnaissance (ARCHER). ARCHER is the most sophisticated unclassified HyperSpectral imaging system available. It has direct applications for Search and Rescue; Counterdrug; Disaster Relief and Impact Assessment; and Homeland Security. ARCHER is a non-invasive reflected light technology that uses three separate methods for target identification: Spectral signature matching: Evaluates reflected light against a library of spectral signatures to identify Specifically-targeted objects. Anomaly detection: Compares reflected light against a continuously calculated background spectrum. Anomalies are flagged as potential targets for further evaluation. Change detection: Executes a pixel-by-pixel comparison of current image against ground conditions that were obtained in a previous mission over the same area. Scene changes are identified, and new, moved or departed targets are highlighted for evaluation. Command and Control / Legal Status. The same legal authorities that govern the use of Air Force assets generally apply to the use of CAP when acting in its capacity as the Air Force Auxiliary. All USAF-assigned missions will be flown under military command and control, generally at the operational (JFACC/CFACC) level. Posse Comitatus Act. Unless otherwise authorized by law, the Air Force Auxiliary may not directly participate in civilian law enforcement activities, including, but not limited to: arrest or detention procedures; interdiction of a vehicle, vessel, or aircraft; surveillance or pursuit of individuals or search or seizure.

Chapter 7 Incident Awareness and Assessment

(IAA)

Authorities

Natural or man-made disasters and special events can temporarily overwhelm local, tribal, state and non-military federal responders. The Department of Defense (DOD) has a long history of supporting civil authorities in the wake of catastrophic events. When directed by the President (POTUS) or the Secretary of Defense (SecDef), United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and service components will respond quickly and effectively to the requests of civil authorities to save lives, prevent human suffering, and mitigate great property damage. The Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan 2006 (JSCP) directed CDRUSNORTHCOM to prepare a plan to support the employment of Title 10 DOD forces providing DSCA in accordance with (IAW) the National Response Framework (NRF), applicable federal law, DOD Directives (DODD), and other policy guidance including those hazards defined by the 15 National Planning Scenarios that are not addressed by other JSCP tasked plans. DSCA is a subset of DOD civil support that is performed within the parameters of the NRF. CDR1AF (AFNORTH) CONPLAN 3501-08 supports CDRUSNORTHCOM CONPLAN 3501-08.

Incident Awareness and Assessments (IAA) Defined

IAA is similar to DOD‘s definition of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). However, ISR is conducted outside the United States over foreign territory or within the United States during Homeland Defense events, while IAA is conducted within the United States in support of Defense Support of Civil Authorities operations. The change in title is necessary to make it clear that DOD does not collect Intelligence on US persons. IAA operations focus on providing timely and usable information to all levels of command and to local, State, Civil, and Federal leaders in order to save lives, reduce human suffering and protect property. The

three mission sets of IAA are Broad Area Coverage (BAC), Damage Assessment (DA), and Situational Awareness (SA). Similar to ISR in the HD mission, IAA capabilities include Electro-Optical (EO), Infra-red (IR), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Multi-spectral/Hyper-spectral (MSI/HSI), and Full Motion Video (FMV).

AFNORTH’s tasks in support of IAA include:

Assist USNORTHCOM in identifying, sourcing, sustaining and employing airborne IAA assets. Additionally, if the DSCA situation will require dynamic movement and tactical control of airborne assets, AFNORTH will also assist USNORTHCOM in identifying the need for a Dynamic Ground Control capability (like a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC)).

AFNORTH will execute Collection Operations Management (COM) for assigned airborne IAA through the AFNORTH AOC (601 IRD).

AFNORTH (601 IRD) will coordinate and integrate DOD IAA collection efforts with non-DOD federal, state government, local government, and non-government airborne collection assets to increase efficiencies. This effort is greatly facilitated when all parties elect to participate in the Contingency Response Air Support Schedule (CRASS) process.

Roles and Responsibilities

U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). USNORTHCOM plans, organizes and executes homeland defense and civil support missions, but has few permanently assigned forces. The command is assigned forces whenever necessary to execute missions, as ordered by the president and secretary of defense. USNORTHCOM‘s civil support mission includes domestic disaster relief operations that occur during natural or man-made disasters (e.g. fires, hurricanes, floods and earthquakes). Support also includes counter-drug operations and managing the

consequences of a terrorist event employing a weapon of mass destruction. The command provides assistance to a Primary Agency when tasked by DOD. Per the Posse Comitatus Act, Title 10 military forces can provide civil support, but cannot become directly involved in law enforcement.

In providing civil support, USNORTHCOM generally operates through established Joint Task Forces subordinate to the command. An emergency must exceed the capabilities of local, state and federal agencies before USNORTHCOM becomes involved. In most cases, support will be limited, localized and specific. When the scope of the disaster is reduced to the point that the Primary Agency can again assume full control and management without military assistance, USNORTHCOM will execute its exit strategy and redeploy DOD forces.

Mission Sets

Broad-Area Coverage (BAC). BAC refers to the collection effort aimed at collecting imagery of a large swath of territory, with the view of determining the full extent of destruction or, if executed in advance of an incident, the pre-disaster state of an area. The following graphic depicts the scale.

Damage Assessment (DA). DA refers to the collection effort aimed at determining the full extent of localized destruction following a disaster (man-made or natural). Individual targets can include specific infrastructure, small areas, communities, etc. The graphic to the right depicts the scale.

Damage Assessment Scale

Situational Awareness (SA). SA refers to the collection effort aimed at establishing and maintaining a detailed and complete understanding of an evolving situation on the part of key decision makers and local responders. It represents the most time-sensitive of the three collection efforts and is therefore most often associated with Situational Awareness Scale Full-Motion Video and All three above use Intel-link (U) Dynamic Re-tasking.

51

Electro-Optical (EO). EO systems utilize light sensitive receptors

to collect and display images or video. When referring to ISR/IAA sensors, EO typically means images produced in the visible light spectrum. EO imagery is available in various degrees of resolution. It is important that customers indicate the resolution required to answer their specific needs. Examples:

Six Inch Resolution Two Foot Resolution

One Meter Resolution Ten Meter Resolution

52

Infra-red (IR). IR systems are sensitive to the infrared portion of the

electromagnetic spectrum. In order to produce a differentiated image they rely on heat gradients, i.e., varied infrared energy reflected or produced by adjacent objects. Sometimes referred to as Thermal Imaging, IR is most useful during hours of darkness, but can be used effectively during daylight hours as well. Examples of IR Imagery

Synthetic Aperture Radar. Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) is a

form of radar in which the large, highly-directional rotating antenna used by conventional radar is replaced with many low-directivity small stationary antennas scattered near or around the target area. The many echo waveforms received at the different antenna positions are post-processed to resolve the target. SAR can only be implemented by moving one or more antennas over relatively immobile targets, by placing multiple stationary antennas over a relatively large area, or combinations thereof. SAR has seen wide applications in remote sensing and mapping.

Examples of SAR Imagery

Full-Motion Video (FMV). FMV refers to live, real-time streaming video collected primarily for the immediate situational awareness of key decision makers. It includes any live video across the electro-magnetic spectrum, but normally it will be EO or IR. Its main uses include:

Search and Rescue Lines of Communication (LOC) Analysis Initial Damage Assessment (DA) Fire Perimeter Identification Situational Awareness (SA)

FMV Taken of Gulf Coast Oil Platform Venting Gas after 2008 hurricane season

Multi-Spectral/Hyper-Spectral (MSI/HSI). MSI and HSI use

many bands within the Infrared, Visible and Ultraviolet portions of the electro-magnetic spectrum to provide composite images produced by interpreting several layers of information. They are particularly useful at identifying chemicals, locating camouflaged objects, and providing change and anomaly detection. MSI/HSI systems are passive and require a light source to operate, making them less useful during hours of darkness. This type of imagery normally requires a trained analyst to interpret. Customers should consider this factor when requesting this type of imagery to ensure that the proper support personnel are

included for the tasked asset. Examples of MSI/HSI

Incident Awareness and Assessment Process (IAA) Without Mission Assignment (MA). There are several implications to consider when planning missions without an official MA. Commander‘s intent and Priority Information Requirements (PIRs) are critical and must be identified early before a collection plan is created. All missions flown without an MA are funded from within the DOD. Information sharing with first responders is problematic or not authorized without an MA. In addition, Request for Forces (RFFs) justifications are more demanding because it is difficult to justify before the Primary Authority makes the request. However, Command and Control issues are relatively simple as a straight forward military chain of command is in place.

the assumption is made that first responders have been overwhelmed by the time the Request for Assistance has been received so defining requirements can be a challenge. First responder‘s requirements are critical; however, dissemination architecture and connectivity to the first responders can be difficult at best. It is also important to note that military / civilian cooperation must keep in mind the different organizational cultures. DOD personnel, acting in an LNO role, must recognize that successful coordination will be built on personal relationships vice the formality of a military chain of command.

Process With Mission Assignment Intelligence Oversight. Intelligence Oversight limitations apply to AFNORTH and any supporting DOD unit that could collect, analyze process, retain, or disseminate information on US persons and those who exercise command over these units and organizations. It applies to all military and civilian personnel assigned or attached to those units on a permanent or temporary basis, regardless of specialty or job function. It also applies to contractors or consultants if they are involved in activities subject to the procedures in DOD 5240.1-R. For Air Force

Reserve Command, this AFI applies to Traditional Reservists, Air Reserve Technicians, Individual Mobilization Augmentees, and other Air Force Reserve Command members assigned or attached to intelligence units and staffs who are performing intelligence-related activities. For the Air National Guard (ANG), it applies to all ANG members in a Title 10 or Title 32 status assigned or attached to intelligence units or staffs who are performing intelligence-related activities. Proper Use Memorandum (PUM) When it is required for aerial intelligence collection within the USNORTHCOM AOR, J23M (Requirements Branch) drafts a Domestic Imagery Request (DIR) or PUM. The PUM clearly describes the boundaries and limits under which IC personnel will be conducting operations in support of the DSCA mission. When it is determined that domestic imagery is required to satisfy an intelligence need or to support a designated Local Field Activity (LFA), the requesting command or component notifies the USNORTHCOM J23M, the JIOC-N Operations Officer (J23DO), or Knowledge Management Branch (J22S), and the Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Operations Team for coordination. Notification will be followed-up by a written request, preferably through COLISEUM. Current DOD guidance (DIA/CLM-1/R 282305Z NOV 01) allows individual services and Commands to approve ―domestic airborne reconnaissance‖ (manned and unmanned) imagery proper use memorandum for both military and private property. This guidance delegates to the Services and Commands the responsibility to review DOD 5240.1-R for compliance and encourages legal review by the servicing legal office. Unresolved issues are to be referred to Service or DOD General Council for determination. In some cases, a locally drafted and locally held PUM is sufficient to meet requirements. AFNORTH/A2 and JA will work with USNORTHCOM/J23M and JA to ensure that the appropriate legal documents are drafted and approved. The AFNORTH A2 Intelligence Oversight Monitor in coordination with the AFNORTH/JA will coordinate with USNORTHCOM/J23M and ensure that the appropriate documentation is approved prior to conducting IAA operations within the CONUS.

Plan Mission. In order to plan an effective mission AFNORTH IAA Planners need a detailed understanding of the requirement(s). An IAA request (shown below) form will initiate this process and help planners determine the proper platform, product and dissemination strategy.

IAA Request for Support IAA Synchronization Matrix (Sync Matrix). AFNORTH (601 IRD) collection planners produce a Synch Matrix in order to ensure that all tasked assets are de-conflicted, both from one another and from other government agency assets The effect of the Synch Matrix is unified effort despite not having a unified chain of command or unified air tasking order (ATO). The Synch Matrix on the following page was produced during the 2008 Gulf Coast hurricane season and is provided as an example.

Collection Deck. To task a platform, the AFNORTH (601 IRD) produces detailed collection plans. They include a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet identifying the specific collection points or the parameters of a directed search area. In addition, a Microsoft PowerPoint slide is produced to graphically depict the overall day‘s collection activity. An example is provided on the next page.

Mission Execution. Title 10 missions are formally tasked through the ATO process. The ATO directs a subordinate flying unit to execute the IAA missions. It contains the following details:

Mission number Flight details Take off Time Time on Station Etc

The Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Target Acquisition Annex (RSTA) provides amplifying information to the aircrew and directs the format and content of the Post Mission Summary (described later in this volume). The RSTA Annex also provides detailed instruction for Processing, Analysis and Distribution (PAD) requirements. Dynamic Re-tasking. Dynamic Re-tasking allows for the collection of time-sensitive IAA. The Chief of Combat Ops (CCO) within the AFNORTH Combat Ops Division (COD) determines if an asset can be re-tasked. The CCO does this on recommendation from the Senior Intelligence Duty Officer (SIDO) and the decision is subsequently relayed to the platform through the controlling Sector. Dissemination. Dissemination is based on user needs as determined by the IAA Request Form. Every effort is made to ensure the final product is unclassified and in a usable format. The most common form of dissemination used is the Imagery and FMV access portals as listed below. Pull – Posted to website(s). Typically the United States Geological Survey (USGS) will host the majority of the imagery products on their Hazard Data Distribution System (HDDS) server. In addition, material may be posted to the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN), and the USNORTHCOM Imagery/FMV server aka the Disaster Imagery Management Server (DIMS). Push – Customers can specify whether they need products e-mailed or mailed directly to them. For example Civil Air Patrol has the capability to email imagery directly to a customer while airborne via a satellite telephone. (Note: The satellite Constellation used for this capability is degrading and is occasionally intermittent). Live Feed – Live feeds are accessed through a FMV portal or directly down-linked to the customer. Primary FMV customers will be collocated with a communications package (i.e. ROVER, DRAGOON, etc) that will allow them to have an immediate direct FMV feed while in the field. Additionally, FMV feeds will be pushed to the FMV server at NORTHCOM for the benefit of the remainder of the IAA community.

Feedback. In order to ensure that customer requirements are satisfied it is essential to collect post mission feedback from both crew as well as the customer. Crew feedback will be in the form of a post mission summary as defined in the RSTA Annex to the Air Tasking Order (ATO). Customer feedback is sought through various Liaison officers (LNOs) either in person or through telephone and e-mail exchanges to determine whether requirements were

62

satisfied. This information is then used to determine the need for follow-on missions.

Assessments. The majority of operational efficiency is measured using operational metrics. Examples of information traditionally included in operational metrics are: IAA missions scheduled vs. missions flown, IAA sensor and communication link operational rates, imagery target deck collection rates (imagery targets tasked vs. imagery targets collected), ad hoc or dynamic re-tasking satisfaction rates (requested vs. successfully tasked, timeliness of collection and reporting, etc.) and on-station, in time, full mission, no problems (platform, sensor, links and crew). The assessment process is used to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the IAA campaign. The process seeks to: Evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of operations in achieving

JFACC/CFACC objectives Evaluate the effectiveness of JFACC/CFACC objectives in supporting

CFC/JFC objectives Recommend changes in weight, priorities or phasing efforts Provide predictive evaluation/assessment Data is collected and analyzed after every IAA mission as the latest information is integrated into the cumulative totals. Additionally, an overall assessment is accomplished upon the completion of the contingency. Lessons Learned are captured in order to improve current processes and amend doctrine as required. The following table is an example of recently collected assessment totals. Collectively, the Feedback and Assessments process ensures IAA assets are employed as efficiently and effectively as possible. Ground Architecture The basic architecture for the reception and transmission of FMV is the same regardless of platform used. It should also be noted that ANG forces utilizing the RC-26B aircraft are equipped with the Dragoon system, providing much higher video resolution and greater signal range than that available with the USA/USAF ROVER system.

Page 63: AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK - …downloads.slugsite.com/1AF-capabilities-2009.pdf · AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK 1 January 2009 3 ... Continental United States NORAD region and

The IAA platform transmits the video image from its sensor, normally via a C-band Omni-directional antenna. This restricts reception range to approximately 15 NM. ROVER receives the signal on the ground and reproduces the video on a ruggedized laptop system. Advanced ROVER systems are able to rebroadcast FMV via standard Ethernet links to other laptops/computer terminals, to a Personal Data Assistant (PDA), or to a satellite backhaul. Reception by ROVER can be severely degraded by mountainous terrain, weather, frequency interference and other similar factors. Field use during DSCA scenarios typically result in ROVERs attempting to receive at ranges far greater than in wartime, overseas operations. What was designed to ―see over the next hill‖ is being used to provide awareness over city sized areas. It is not uncommon for ROVERs employed in this manner to have great difficulty in maintaining signal reception from the collection platform

Page 64: AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK - …downloads.slugsite.com/1AF-capabilities-2009.pdf · AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK 1 January 2009 3 ... Continental United States NORAD region and

Note: The HMMVV depicted represents a generic vehicle for ROVER mobility. The ROVER itself is depicted on the previous page. Full Motion Video is provided to the on-site user at the ROVER terminal. If FMV is desired at a more distant location, a Swe-Dish or similar uplink terminal is used to convert and relay the signal through a DISA Teleport Step Site, then over leased landlines to the NORAD/USNORTHCOM FMV server. By this point image degradation will be evident. Other users may view the FMV via NIPR connection, but with a further reduction in image clarity. FMV can also be disseminated via the Global Broadcast System (GBS). Swe-Dish. One of the more important components in the Sensor-ROVER-FMV construct is the satellite inject point that provides the FMV signal to HHQ for dissemination via Web. The most common and most mobile option is the TSC-68 Swe-Dish.

Page 65: AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK - …downloads.slugsite.com/1AF-capabilities-2009.pdf · AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK 1 January 2009 3 ... Continental United States NORAD region and

AFNORTH AIR SUPPORT HANDBOOK 1 January 2009

65

The Swe-Dish should be paired with ROVER or Dragoon teams in the field to facilitate transmission of FMV to distant users via satellite link. Without the provision of a satellite uplink point, FMV is limited to local users in the immediate vicinity of the ROVER or Dragoon terminal. The Swe-Dish is highly mobile, weighing only 70 pounds.

Global Broadcast System. The GBS operates as a one-way, wideband transmission service capable of supporting timely delivery of classified and unclassified data and information products for mission support and theater information transfer. GBS operates much like familiar satellite television broadcast systems. GBS disseminates IP-based real-time video and large data files (up to 4GB) over-the-air (30 Mbps per transponder) to forces using smart push and user pull. For use within CONUS, the GBS receive suite located at AFNORTH HQ requires the use of a Theater Inject Point (TIP) to be fielded at an FMV source.

Theater Inject Point. The TIP is a trailerable satellite communications terminal normally consisting of two HMMWV and two trailers. The TIP is connected to the FMV source (ROVER, etc.) and pumps the FMV signal to the Horizons 1 satellite on a Ku-band signal. The signal is then redirected by a GBS transmit site in Norfolk, Virginia and can be distributed over the GBS network to more than 700 user terminals all over the world.

66

USN/USA TCDL. The Navy and Army use the Tactical Common Data Link (TCDL) for the majority of their FMV efforts. TCDL is a FMV link similar to the system used by ROVER, but it provides a greater extended range of transmission. TCDL links can operate at ranges of 100-150 NM as opposed to the short 15 NM range of a ROVER system. TCDL is a full duplex system allowing bi-directional information exchange over the link. TCDL transmissions are normally equipped with an encryption system that prevents reception by a ROVER system. In order for ROVER gear to acquire and receive signals, the TCDL must be reconfigured to transmit in an unencrypted mode acceptable to ROVER. The availability of TCDL ground packages are severely limited due to operations overseas. TCDL weighs approximately 2,200 pounds, requiring a large truck to move the system from point-to-point. In order to provide the FMV signal to distant users, TCDL must be linked to a Swe-Dish or other suitable satellite uplink system.

Chapter 8 Airspace Planning and Control

(CAOC/CPD)

Combat Plans Division (CPD). The CPD Airspace Management Team is directly related to the Combined Forces Air Component Commander‘s role as the Airspace Coordination Authority (ACA). The Federal Aviation Administration as the Host Nation‘s (HN) air traffic service provider is granted statutory authority over managing airspace by Title 49 of the United States Code.

Airspace Coordination Authority (FAA/ACA). The ACA is the designated military commander assuming overall responsibility for military operations of the airspace control system in the designated airspace control area. The airspace control system is defined as those organizations, personnel, policies, procedures, and facilities performing airspace control functions. The ACA coordinates with the FAA for approval of all issues involving the National Airspace System in the defined airspace control area. This cooperative partnership ensures dynamic innovative solutions are immediately implemented to maximize mission accomplishment with minimal degradation to the National Airspace System.

CAOC Airspace Management Team. Within a typical CAOC, the airspace management team is a component of the C2 planning team. Due to the complexity of integrating military operations with civilian operations in the NAS, an existing airspace control system, and constant DOD FAA coordination, the airspace management team is separate from the C2 team within the Combat Plans Division. The Airspace Management Team consists of military and civilian air traffic controllers responsible for coordinating and integrating the airspace control system with the FAA. In recognition of the FAA‘s statutory responsibility, military air operations are designed to coexist with civilian operations and have as little impact on the NAS as possible.

83

Each volume of airspace supporting the military operation is de-conflicted and coordinated with the FAA by the CAOC and approved. The Airspace Management Team consists of two main elements: Combat Plans and Combat Operations. Airspace Coordination Plan. The plans airspace team develops and coordinates the Airspace Coordination Plan (ACP) with the FAA--the document approved by the joint force commander that provides specific planning guidance and procedures for the airspace control system for the airspace control area. The plans team coordinates airspace request and matters affecting military aircraft control with the FAA, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), military units, foreign agencies, and other applicable federal and state agencies. This team receives, processes, and de-conflicts Airspace Control Measure Request (ACMREQ) to develop the Airspace Control Order--the order implementing the airspace coordination plan that provides the specific details of the approved request for airspace coordinating measures.

84

Air Traffic Control. Airspace control increases mission effectiveness by promoting the safe, efficient, and flexible use of airspace with a high volume of aircraft operations placing minimal restraint upon the airspace users. Regardless of AFNORTH‘s airspace control measures, all flights are conducted under standard Federal Air Regulations. The FAA uses Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) to regulate entry into the airspace. These TFRs defines the restricted airspace and outline the requirements for operating within it. The CAOC utilizes and incorporates the positive control elements of the National Airspace System (NAS) and procedural control capabilities of Theatre Battle Management Core Systems (TBMCS) computers to maximize flying safety in the airspace control area. The ACP and ACO are no way intended to supersede air traffic control procedures/instructions. Aircraft operating within Class B, C, D, and TRSA airspaces will operate in accordance with ATC airspace class requirements. The ACP and ACO are additional guidance and procedures ratified by the airspace coordination authority regulating participating DOD aircraft. Operations Airspace Team. The operations airspace team is responsible for coordinating and managing all current airspace management activities. The team monitors flying activities to ensure that ACMs are compatible with mission requirements. They coordinate with internal and external C2 agencies on airspace control issues, request, and problems. This team is the focal point for disseminating ACO changes. They monitor and disseminate airfield, navigational aids (NAVAIDS), and air traffic control facility status and information in the consistent with FAA reporting. They facilitate immediate coordination with the host nation (normally the FAA) on airspace control issues, requests, and problems within the airspace control area

Chapter 9

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

FEMA was established in the executive branch as an independent agency pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 (5 U.S.C.app.) and Executive Orders 12127 of March 31, 1979 (effective April1, 1979), and 12148 of July 20, 1979 (effective July 15, 1979). In March 2003, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) became part of the new U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Its mission is to lead the effort to prepare the United States for all hazards and effectively manage Federal response and recovery efforts in the wake of national incidents. FEMA has offices at FEMA headquarters in Washington D.C., at regional and area offices across the country, the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, and the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland. FEMA also has nearly 4,000 standby disaster assistance employees who are available for deployment after disasters. Often FEMA works in partnership with other organizations that are part of the nation‘s emergency management system. These partners include state and local emergency management agencies, 28 federal agencies, and American Red Cross. FEMA‘s Disaster Operations Directorate coordinates and provides the core, Federal disaster response capability needed to save lives, reduce suffering, and protect property in communities throughout the Nation that have been overwhelmed by the impact of a major disaster or emergency, regardless of cause. The Disaster Operations Directorate must ensure that Federal emergency response systems and capabilities are properly poised to lean forward to support States

and communities overwhelmed by disasters and emergencies. Key functions include:

Providing the leadership to integrate the Nation‘s emergency response teams, systems, and capabilities into comprehensive, coordinated operational capability to provide an effective and efficient response to major disasters or emergencies;

Coordinating Federal emergency management disaster operational planning and programs to ensure the delivery of immediate emergency assistance within communities;

Executing the disaster operations mission through three main program areas –Operations Management, Field Operations, and Disaster Emergency Communications.

o Operations Management: planning, managing and coordinating the capabilities necessary to support emergency and disaster response operations, exercises, and special events to ensure an effective overall national all-hazards response capability; Field Operations: managing and supporting the disaster response teams and workforce; and

o Disaster Emergency Communications: providing tactical, operational disaster emergency communications capabilities to support all-hazards disaster response and national security emergency requirements.

The Logistics Directorate provides logistics support in the areas of property management, logistics systems, and disaster operations for FEMA and its emergency management partners.

The Disaster Assistance Directorate manages Individual and Public Assistance Recovery Programs to ensure individuals and communities affected by disasters of all sizes are able to return to normal function with minimal suffering and disruption of services.

FEMA serves as Lead Agent for Federal Executive Branch Continuity of Operations (COOP) programs. FEMA‘s Office of National Security Coordination (ONSC) is responsible for formulating guidance and establishing common standards for agencies to use in developing viable, executable COOP plans; facilitating interagency coordination as appropriate; and overseeing and assessing the status of COOP capabilities within Federal Executive Branch agencies.

To achieve this mission, ONSC has established multiple programs to address COOP components at all levels of government—Interagency, DHS and its components, FEMA, and interagency COOP—nationwide, at the Federal, State, and local levels.

Ten regional offices carry out FEMA‘s programs at the State and local levels. The Regional Administrators are the Agency Administrator‘s principal representatives in contacts and relationships with Federal, State, regional, and local agencies; industry; and other public and private groups. The Regional Administrators are responsible for accomplishing within their regions the national program objectives established by FEMA.

Chapter 10 Sensors

The National Airspace System (NAS) Defense Radar and Radio System. This is a network of ground-base, fixed long range surveillance radars and radios, primarily operated and maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA provides communication and radar data to FAA, USAF control centers, and DHS. The system provides air defense and air traffic control for the continental United States, VIPR, Guam, and Hawaii. These systems were fielded through a congressionally mandated joint FAA, DHS, and Air Force program.

Radar/Radio Site Locations. Radar/radio sites are located throughout the US and VIPR. Normally radio sites are collocated with the radar sites however there approximately 40 of 148 radio facilities that are ground-to-air transmit receive (GATR) sites not co-located. There are approximately 181 radars being fed into the USAF control centers.

ARSR-4 (AN/FPS130). The Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR)-4 System is three-dimensional long range radar that is the centerpiece of the FAA/Air Force Radar Replacement (FARR) program. The ARSR-4 provides 360 degree azimuth coverage for ranges out to 250 nautical miles, at heights up to 100,000 feet, and for elevation angles of -7 to +30 degrees (stacked beam). The ARSR-4 uses two separate but dependent air-cooled solid state transmitters to generate the two transmit pulses (60 and 90 microsecond wide). The radar returns are received by the antenna and processed by a 7-channel RF receiver/signal processor. The primitive target detections from the 7-signal processor channels are further processed in a data processor (Common Digitizer) that provides scan-to-scan correlation (search and beacon alignment) and radar/beacon target merging (reinforcement). The data processor formats the target data into 13-bit message formats and transmits the target data to end users via a system of serial data links. ARSR 1, 2, and 3 Radars. Air Route Surveillance Radar 1, 2, and 3; are long-Range 2-dimensional (Range/Azimuth) Radar Systems. ARSR 1 and 2 require operator interface to make corrections/optimization to compensate for the environment. ARSR 3 Operates as a ―smart radar‖ and can optimize itself based on its current environment. Optimizations are not as graceful as the ARSR-4 but are sufficient to meet most operational environments. ARSR 1, 2 have solid state receivers with a analog ―tube‖ transmitter. The ARSR-3 is solid state and dual-channeled. All three are dual-channeled with 2 separate transmitters and receivers. All can operate on either channel independently of the other. The range is ~5-220 nautical miles. FPS-67. This Long-Range, 2-dimensional Radar System, was originally purchased for Air Defense Command in the late 50‘s. It requires an operator interface to make corrections/optimization to compensate for the environment. System has a solid state receiver with a analog ―tube‖ transmitter it is also dual-channeled.

USAF Ground Radar Capabilities AN/GPN-20 Radar Set. AN/GPN-20(V) is a transportable dual-channel radar system with tower-mounted antenna and remote site operator controls. The mission of the AN/GPN-20(V) is to detect aircraft within 60 nautical miles of the radar site and to process radar information for display on a plan-position indicator (PPI). Typically, the AN/GPN-20(V) is compatible for use with beacon radar, radio microwave link (RML) equipment or landlines, video mapping equipment, and a radar terminal display system. The antenna group is located adjacent to the building and can use either AB1245/G or ASR-4 type tower. The remote site group is located in operations (OPS) site location. The solid-state AN/GPN-20(V) system is equipped with frequency diversity capability so that it may operate with both channels simultaneously or, as an alternative, with either channel independently. AN/TPS-75 Radar System. The AN/TPS-75 Radar System [ "Tipsy 75"] is a mobile, tactical radar system capable of providing radar azimuth, range, height, and Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) information for a 240-nautical-mile area. This deployable/transportable radar system is capable of providing long range radar data to support operations and control of tactical aircraft. The TPS-75 today forms the backbone of the US Air Force Air Defense system. The AN/TPS-75 Radar system provides a "real-time" radar airspace picture and data in support of the battle commander and the Ground Theater Air Control System (GTACS) via radio, telephone, microwave relay, or satellite communications link. AN/TPS-70 Radar System. The Westinghouse (now Northrop-Grumman) AN/TPS-70 3-Dimensional phased array radar is a single-channel, search and secondary mobile system that provides the operator with the capability to track 500 targets, displaying target range, height, azimuth, Identification Friend/Foe (IFF) information from an altitude of 0 to 100,000 feet to a maximum range of 240 nautical miles. The TPS-70 radar can provide both raw (plots) and processed (tracks) data. Radar data processing involves the acquisition of raw and processed data from the radars, clutter filtering, track filtering, and sensor data fusion for a multi-radar version. The TPS-70 tactical radar provides reliability, sensitivity, and accuracy, even in the face of jamming and high-clutter conditions.

AN/TPS-70 Radar Joint Based Expeditionary Connectivity Center (JBECC). The JBECC was developed in early 2001 as part of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Advanced Systems and Concepts (DUSD (AS&C)) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program. Since September 11, 2001, the JBECC has participated in over a dozen operational missions, to protect the President of the United States, the National Capital Region, the 2004 Group of Eight (G8) Summit, United Nations General Assembly, Space Shuttle Launches, and Super Bowl XLI. Once deployed, the JBECC performs 24-hour operations as a communication fusion center by integrating multi-service radars and weapon systems and providing an improved air picture. JBECC enables NORAD to better detect, track, identify, and prosecute any airborne aircraft, cruise missile, unmanned aerial vehicle, or remotely piloted vehicle.

Chapter 11 Contingency Response Air Support Schedule

(CRASS)

Purpose. During Hurricanes Rita/Katrina, conducting traditional command and control of DOD forces during contingency ops became problematic due to limited availability of secure communications. The large number of non-DOD forces operating in the area made the air picture more complex. To assist with collaboration and coordination, the CAOC CPD implemented the following procedures for Air Tasking Order (ATO) and Contingency Response Air Support Schedule (CRASS) processes.

CRASS Philosophy. The CRASS is not a ―tasking‖ document. It serves as a visibility document intended to maximize visibility of air operations in the disaster area or JOA among all participants. Communication Formats. CLASSIFIED means will be used to disseminate taskings for aircraft assigned, attached or operating in support of the JFC as determined through consultation with component commanders. JFACC normally exercises OPCON of USAF forces and TACON of any Navy, Army, and Marine aviation assets made available to the JFACC. All taskings will be coordinated by the JFACC and published in an AFNORTH ATO. IAW JP 3-30, inclusion of component air assets in the ATO does not imply any command or tasking authority over them. The responsibility for planning, coordinating, and developing airspace control procedures (ACP/ACO) and operating an airspace control system also rests with the JFACC. Classified AFNORTH ATO, as well as amplifying information (ACP/ACO/SPINS) will be developed and published by 601 CPD. All information is available on TBMCS/Web Browsers on RELCAN & SIPR networks through 601 CPD website and updated IAW ATO cycle. UNCLASSIFIED means will be utilized to disseminate Contingency Response Air Support Schedule (CRASS) and Amplifying information (ACP/ACO/SPINS). CRASS will enable increased SA of all aircraft (including non-DOD) operating in the JOA. The CRASS includes all

97

UNCLAS DOD/

Interagency missions, as well as planned flying by other agencies (e.g. Title 32 ANG, etc). The fidelity of this product depends on the information provided by non-DOD agencies/organizations. It will be published using common application (Excel) to ensure data access. It requires increased coordination with State EOCs/LEA/other agencies to ensure accuracy. While compliance with the ACO/ACP/SPINS is not mandatory, non DOD agencies are encouraged to provide inputs to the CRASS worksheet. All information will be updated in accordance with the CLASSIFIED ATO cycle. CAOC CPD will coordinate with State EOC and other agencies to ensure fullest dissemination of required documentation and increased support of JFACC mission. Required info is published on the AFNORTH Public Domain Internet website: (AFNORTH.US/sample/CRASS%20Contingency%20Response%20Air%20Support%20Schedule/Forms/AllItems.aspx). The website address will also be published on any FAA NOTAMs created in response to the contingency.

Chapter 12

Force Accountability and Management AFNORTH/A1. AFNORTH/A1 is responsible for the accountability and management of all forces attached/assigned to AFNORTH ISO a NORTHCOM operation. These forces can be in one of the below deployment/employment phases. 1. Member deploys to deployment location. 2. Member arrives at a transient location before they arrive at their deployment location. 3. Member arrives at the deployed location (member is now employed). 4. Member is forward deployed to another deployed location. 5. Member is redeployed to their home station. Cooperation of the individual and various organizations are required to successfully provide force accountability and management. The following paragraphs describe these responsibilities 1. Deployment Responsibilities. These responsibilities include ensuring personnel out-process with the appropriate home station organizations.

a. Individual. Once an individual is notified they will be supporting a NORTHCOM operation, it is their responsibility to ensure all necessary deployment actions are completed.

b. Organizations. After the deploying unit is notified, they are responsible to: 1) ensure their personnel out-process with the Commander‘s Support Staff (CSS) and 2) notify AFNORTH/A1R of the deployment. Lastly, AFNORTH/A1R must be notified as soon as a person is identified to deploy. AFNORTH/A1R is notified by sending the below information to the PERSCO OMB ([email protected]).

Reported Information. Name, Grade, SSN, Gender, exact deployed location; type of orders, date arrived and projected length of deployment.

2. Employment/Forward Deployment/Redeployment Responsibilities. The individual must notify the appropriate organization: 1) upon arrival at duty location, 2) upon re-deployment to another location, 3) upon redeployment to their home location, and 4) upon arrival at their home.

Whom the individual notifies will depend on if they are deploying into a location where there is: 1) no-support, 2) an ACCE Team Director who is a COMAFFOR Forward (COMAFFOR-FWD), or 3) a PERSCO team attached to a Air Expeditionary organization.

a. No Support (No in-place ACCE or Deployed PERSCO Team). AFNORTH/A1R acts as the deployed PERSCO and is responsible to ensure deployed personnel arrival/departure information into DCAPES.

(1) Force Accountability. Personnel deploying into locations without an ACCE Director who is a COMAAFOR-FWD and/or PERSCO Team must notify both their home unit and AFNORTH/A1R of their arrival, if they forward deploy and when they redeploy home. Individuals will notify AFNORTH/A1R one of two ways.

(A) Telephone: DSN: 523-8558/4371 or CML: 850-283-8558/4371 (B) E-Mail: [email protected]

(2) Force Management. AFNORTH/A1R will provide reach-back support deployed individuals.

b. ACCE Team. The level of responsibility will depend on if the ACCE Director is dual-hatted as a COMAFFOR Forward (COMAFFOR-FWD) and/or if there is an attached PERSCO Team.

(1) ACCE Director--not a COMAFFOR-FWD. The ACCE/A1 representative is responsible only for the accountability and management of ACCE Team personnel and the related services requirements (i.e., lodging, food, etc) needed to successfully accomplish the mission for all personnel assigned. If there is not an ACCE/A1 representative assigned, the ACCE Team Director is responsible for force accountability and management. Since the ACCE/A1 is responsible for only the accountability of ACCE Team personnel, forces deploying into this location will follow paragraph 1 above. The ACCE/A1 member will submit daily updates to AFNORTH/A1R ([email protected]) via an accountability spreadsheet. The ACCE/A1 member must coordinate with AFNORTH/A1R before they depart to obtain reporting times and the accountability spreadsheet.

(2) ACCE Director--dual-hatted as COMAFFOR-FWD. When dual-hatted as COMAFFOR-FWD, the ACCE Director is responsible for accountability and management for all personnel on the ground, including transients, at their deployed and designated geographically separated locations, regardless of status. When the ACCE Director is assigned as a

100

COMAFFOR-FWD, a PERSCO Team will normally be attached to the ACCE Team. Accountability includes knowing where assigned personnel are at any given time, where they live and where they work. This includes individuals who become hospitalized, injured, killed, missing or who are not performing their jobs (i.e., not present for duty). (A) Force Accountability. Personnel deploying into a location with a COMAFFOR-FWD must in-process/out-process with the ACCE/A1 or PERSCO Team (if one is attached). The ACCE/A1 or PERSCO Team (if one is attached) is responsible for the in-processing/out-processing and management of deployed personnel. They are responsible for submitting an Accountability Worksheet daily to 1 AF (AFNORTH)/A1R ([email protected]). The ACCE/A1 member must coordinate with AFNORTH/A1R before they depart to obtain reporting times and the accountability spreadsheet. (B) Force Management. The ACCE/A1 and/or PERSCO Team is responsible for the management for forces assigned/attached to the ACCE Team Director/COMAFFOR-FWD. The specific responsibilities are:

Casualty Reporting and Accountability

Services

Replacement of Assigned/Attached Forces

Forward Deployment of Assigned/Attached Forces (C) Reach-Back Support. In these situations, AFNORTH/A1 will provide reach-back support to the ACCE/A1 and/or PERSCO team (if applicable). Reach-back support includes but is not limited to:

Casualty Reporting and Accountability

Services

Replacement of Assigned/Attached Forces

101

who is the AFFOR Central Site PERSCO Team. AFNORTH/A1R gathers and consolidates all force accountability information for use in Command Reporting for CDRUSNORTHCOM and AFNORTH/CC. (2) Force Management. If a PERSCO Team is not present, the ACCE/A1 is responsible for Force Management for forces assigned/attached to the ACCE Team. AFNORTH/A1R will provide reach-back support to the ACCE/A1. The specific responsibilities are:

Casualty Reporting and Accountability

Replacement of Assigned/Attached Forces

Forward Deployment of Assigned/Attached Forces

(3) Reach-Back Support. AFNORTH/A1 will provide reach-back support to the ACCE/A1 and/or PERSCO team (if applicable). Reach-back support includes but is not limited to:

Casualty Reporting and Accountability

Services

Replacement of Assigned/Attached Forces

Provide Deployment/Employment Reports

Act as Deployed PERSCO or PERSCO Central Site

Deployment member Extensions

3. Mission Complete/Return to Home Unit. While the mission is completed when the deployed individual returns to his home organization, the accountability process is not. The individual must notify his home organization they have returned. This is done accordingly, a. Member is deployed against a ULN/LNR and is on CED orders. The individual notifies their Unit Deployment Manager (UDM) and/or their home Personnel Readiness Unit. The individual is regained in DCAPES and AFNORTH is notified of the return. b. Member is not deployed against a ULN/LNR and is not on CED orders. Member must notify their unit they have returned. Their unit then must notify AFNORTH/A1R they have returned to home station.

COMMAND AND CONTROL RELATIONSHIPS It is important to understand the distinct but related responsibilities in the two channels of authority to forces assigned to unified combatant commands. The operational chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense to the Commanders of the Unified Combatant Commands. The Chairman, JCS, transmits to the Commanders of the Unified Combatant Commands the orders of the President or the Secretary of Defense. The chain of command for Service authority runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense to the Secretaries of the Military Departments to the commanders of Military Service forces. The Military Departments and Services recruit, organize, train, equip, and provide forces for assignment to combatant commands and administer and support these forces. This authority is, by law, subject to the provisions of title10, United States Code, chapter 6, which is the section that details the authority of combatant commanders. Commanders of the unified commands exercise combatant command (command authority) over their assigned forces. Service component commanders are subject to the combatant commanders operational orders, direction and responsible to the Military Departments and Services for their administrative and support responsibilities. Unity of the joint force is enhanced through the application of a flexible range of command relationships identified in Joint Pub 0-2, ―Unified Action Armed Forces.‖ These relationships are identified as combatant

command (COCOM), operational control (OPCON), and tactical control (TACON). Combatant Command (COCOM) is the command authority over assigned forces vested in the CC by Title 10, United States Code, section 164, and is not transferable. COCOM is exercised only by commanders of unified combatant commands and is a war-fighting authority. COCOM is the authority of a combatant commander to perform those functions of command over assigned forces involving organizing and employing commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training and logistics necessary to accomplish the missions assigned to the command. COCOM should be exercised through the commanders of subordinate organizations. Normally, this authority is exercised through the service component commander. COCOM provides the full authority to organize and employ commands and forces as the CINC considered necessary to accomplish the assigned mission. Operational Control (OPCON) of assigned forces is inherent in COCOM and is transferable within a combatant command by the unified CC or between unified commands by the Secretary of Defense. OPCON may be exercised by commanders at or below any echelon below the level of unified CC and is the authority to perform those functions of command over subordinate forces involving organizing and employing commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative direction necessary to accomplish the mission. OPCON includes authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations and joint training necessary to accomplish the mission assigned to the command. OPCON should be exercised through the commanders of subordinate organizations. Normally, this authority is exercised through service component commanders. OPCON does not, in and of itself, include authoritative direction for logistics or matters of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training.

Tactical Control (TACON) may be exercised by commanders at any echelon at or below the level of unified/specified CC. TACON is the detailed and usually local direction and control of movements or maneuvers necessary to accomplish assigned missions or tasks.

Support is a command authority. A support relationship is established by a superior commander between subordinate commanders when one organization should aid, protect, complement, or sustain another force. Support may be exercised by commanders at any echelon at or below the level of combatant command. Several categories of support have been defined for use within a combatant command as appropriate to better characterize the support that should be given. Support relationships may be categorized as general, mutual, direct, and close. ADCON is the direction or exercise of authority over subordinate or other organizations with respect to administration and support including organization of Service forces, control of resources and equipment, personnel management, unit logistics, individual and unit training, readiness, mobilization, demobilization, discipline, and other matters not included in the operational missions of the subordinate or other organizations. This is the authority necessary to fulfill Military Department statutory responsibilities for administration and support.

Coordinating Authority The authority granted to a commander or individual assigned responsibility for coordinating specific functions or activities involving forces of two or more countries or commands, or two or more services or two or more forces of the same service. He has the authority to require consultation between the agencies involved or their representatives, but does not have the authority to compel agreement. In case of disagreement between the agencies involved, he should attempt to obtain essential agreement by discussion. In the event he is unable to obtain essential agreement he shall refer the matter to the appropriate authority.
