Guard Emergency Liaison Officers (GELO) (JFHQ Team from the J-3 DO)
Provides liaison with OEMA’s eight Field Liaison District Representatives (both prior to and during emergency operations) – is the Ohio National Guard’s “first responder” to the Field Liaison District and the affected county. The GELO provides guidance and coordination to the individual County LNOs and is responsible for identifying and managing training and exercise opportunities at the field district and county level for the Ohio National Guard. The GELO is required to complete NIMS 100/200/300/400/700/800 as well as the Introduction to Emergency Management program through OEMA
County LNO
One primary and one alternate for each of Ohio’s 88 counties. The County LNO is the primary liaison to the County EMA prior to and during emergency operations. The County LNO also provides the GELO with the ability to expand or augment his/her staff as required. The County LNO is required to complete NIMS 100/200/700/800
Assessment Team(s)
A specialized team or individual that provides a specific skill or expertise relevant to the exercise or actual emergency. Assessment Teams are designed to augment the GELO, County LNO or commander of deployed ONG forces in gauging the scope of the emergency, determining adequate resources for the emergency and providing solution to the emergency – Assessment Teams will generally support either an ESF or an Essential Capability )

17. STATE ACTIVE DUTY (SAD)
SAD MISSION
“By order of the Governor and at the direction of the TAG the ONG supports civil authorities to execute the laws of the state; suppress insurrection; repel invasion; act in the event of disaster; promote the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Ohio.”
CONPLAN OHIO Base Order – excerpt from ORC

18. SAD PROCESS
The Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) determines what situation(s)/emergencie(s) warrant an official declaration from the Governor (usually beginning with requests from county EMA officials)
The determination to mobilize the ONG is typically done when all other resources and options are exhausted; or the ONG provides a unique capability not readily available
An official Governor’s Proclamation is required to mobilize the ONG for SAD (can be VOCO (verbal) in lieu of a written document)

19. SAD PROCESS
OEMA requests ONG support through TAG or his designated representative (Joint Force Headquarters Chief of Staff, J-3 Director of Plans and Operations)
Once notified, the ONG alerts primary and special staff members and immediately establishes a Crisis Action Team (CAT) to direct the ONG response under TAG guidance
Powerhouse 8 LNOs are alerted by the JOC and sent to support local officials (usually at the county EMA level)

20. SAD PROCESS
TAG designates a Joint Task Force (typically JTF 73), or possibly multiple task forces, depending on the scope of the event or emergency – units are alerted
County LNOs are alerted by the JOC and sent to support local officials at the determination of the Powerhouse 8
The availability of special “Assessment Teams” can augment LNOs in specific areas (Engineering, Security, Logistics, Communications, ect) as required and/or requested

21. SAD PROCESS
Units are mobilized in a specific status (SAD, T32, or even T10); most state emergencies are under SAD
SAD can evolve into Title 32 or a Title 10 depending on the severity of the event or emergency – there are some differences…
SAD: ONG remains under Governor and TAG control with State funding
Title 32: ONG remains under Governor and TAG control with Federal funding
Title 10: ONG will likely be under Presidential control with Federal funding
