Needs / Capacity SuppliesNeedAir CapacityOther Source Water2400 ST240 ST2160 ST Food372 ST186 ST372 ST Medical79 ST16 ST63 ST Totals2851ST442 ST2409 ST This accounts for: 60% of available air lift 10 % of available sea lift (10 hours from ROK to ROP)

Planning Factors & Assumptions Marines keep OPCON / TACON of their helos ACC has OPCON of all other helos - ACC initially keeps TACON of heavy lift helos - LCCs get TACON of light helos Can support dirt strip operations - 60% of aircraft available on C day 100% Fixed wing lift capacity = 198 pallets / day - Capacity based on 60% sustained per day: pallets per day or ~442 ST / day) 115 pallets of supplies will be available per day

Phase I Establish ACC HQ – Air Mobility Control Center Prepare Kimhae APOD for CTF operations - Support for CTF 24 hour ops

Phase II Seize initiative by intra-theater airlift to forward areas (assessment teams / emergency relief) Prepare dirt strips on Parang Do, assist in opening airports on Cheju-Do and Parang Do for sustained operations - 24 hour/inclement weather operations

Phase III Distribute HA / DR within AO in accordance with CCTF requirements - Apportion air assets appropriately

Phase IV Transition APOD to APOE - Single APOE could restrict our redeployment - -Will coordinate for additional APOEs on Parang Do and Cheju Do Support movement to APOE Release air assets as requirements diminish Disestablish APOE(s) and handover to ROK(ROP) Redeploy remaining assets

Conclusions The Air Component can support this COA In its entirety.
