Conducting Mission Analysis in a DSCA Environment

2. Terminal Learning Objective
4/26/00
Terminal Learning Objective
TLO 3.0 – Given a scenario, analyze DSCA events to develop command and control elements and resource requirements while utilizing DSCA operations tracking mechanisms. 2

3. Enabling Learning Objectives
4/26/00
Enabling Learning Objectives
ELO – Conduct mission analysis and be able to prepare a FRAGO for subordinate Task Forces.
ELO – Coordinate and integrate DOD Title 10 response forces with state, National Guard and Federal ESF’s. 3

4. Matching Unit Capabilities to ESFs
Step 1 – Determine the units’ DSCA capabilities and categorize capabilities by ESF during JRSOI.
Step 2 – Monitor the current status of assigned units and determine which units are available for new Mission Assignments (Troops to Task).
Step 3 – Input the available units into the ESF Capability Matrix used by the JTF CDR and the DCO.
Step 4 – Receive a new Mission Assignment.
Step 5 – Conduct Mission Analysis and write a FRAGO.

5. Step 1 – Determine unit’s DSCA capabilities
1-22 IN: Provides supply management and distribution support to local and national governmental or non-governmental organizations. Capable of providing limited domestic support operations to include:
Transportation support – ESF 1

Update the situation when it changes
Based on units who are ready for a MA and their ESF capabilities, conduct Mission Analysis to determine which TF has the lead and which TFs are in support to execute the MA
Always adhere to the 1/3-2/3 rule so subordinate TFs have time to conduct their Mission Analysis 14 14

15. JTF-Sandy Lessons Learned
Successes
Single orders (OPORD and FRAGOs) worked well. Keep it simple and get them out quickly
Integrated JTF staff (Title 10 & 32) is a must
US Army Reserve units responded seamlessly
Challenges
Title 10 C2 (confusing above DSC JTF)
Need for a “domestic emergency boundary” or Restricted Operations Zone (ROZ)
Title 10 JRSOI (not all in-processed and little/no briefs)
DSCA Training (what Title 10 can/can’t do)
Restrictive Mission Assignments (MA) vs broad MAs
