NG CERFP Mission Planning

• The NG CERFP will operate within the supported/supporting State’s Emergency Management Incident Command (IC) System.

• NG CERFP will not be in the lead but in a supporting role when requested via the Emergency Management System.

• CERFP response operations will be organized and supported within the tiered response of Local, State, and Federal responders.

• NG CERFP will work in coordination with other military forces and commands as part of the overall national response of local, State and Federal Assets.

• NG CERFP may be pre-positioned at designated locations in anticipation of a potential CBRNE incident i.e. a possible threat based on up to date and vetted information, or at a designated National Special Security Event (NSSE)

UNCLASSIFIED / FOUO

UNCLASSIFIED / FOUO

NG CERFP Mission Planning (cont.)

• If federalized, the NG CERFP will operate under the operational control of the supported COCOM.

• NG Forces employed may also include the WMD CSTs, EMEDS, Combat Service Support, Chemical, Engineering and other elements required for emergency support.

• Provide HAZMAT certification training assistance to NG CERFP

Units

• Conduct onsite Liaison Operations with the IC

• Coordinate with JFHQ-State on alert and deployment of NG CERFP

per IC request

• Facilitate Receiving, Staging, and Onward Integration (RSOI) of NG

CERFP

• Secure communications support during CERFP incident site

operations

• Sustained incident site hazard characterization (e.g. plume model,

agent degradation/decay rate data)
