3. Save Lives, Prevent Injury Provide Temporary Critical Life Support
The Mission of JTF-CS
Joint Task Force Civil Support (JTF-CS) plans and integrates DoD support to the designated Lead Federal Agency for domestic Chemical, Biological Radiological, Nuclear and high-yield Explosive (CBRNE) consequence management operations. When directed by Commander U.S. NORTHERN COMMAND, JTF-CS will deploy to the incident site, establish command and control of designated DoD forces and provide military assistance to civil authorities.
Save Lives, Prevent Injury
Provide Temporary Critical Life Support
Our mission is “two-pronged.” First, to plan and integrate (which we do every day) and second, when directed, to deploy to establish command and control of DoD forces for a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high-yield Explosive (CBRNE) incident.
JTF-CS operations are directed towards saving lives and focusing on preventing further injury by providing such services as decontamination, medical assistance and temporary critical life support for the local population. Once the situation stabilizes and DoD support is no longer required, we withdraw. We are not a rebuilding or a recovery force.
To help you understand our mission, I’ll first talk about what CBRNE is, then I’ll provide you with some background information on how we came to be, who we are, and what our guiding principles are.

4. Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Explosive Definition of CBRNE
CBRNE is defined as a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive incident
Incidents include industrial accidents, acts of war, or acts of terrorism
A Weapon of Mass Destruction is a device or material specifically designed to produce casualties or terror
Chemical
Biological
Radiological
Nuclear
Explosive
The term CBRNE was just used when explaining our mission and you need to understand the term to understand what it is we do.
Often the terms CBRNE and WMD are used interchangeably, but there is a distinct difference between them. CBRNE refers to a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or High-Yield Explosive “situation or incident” . It does not differentiate between industrial accidents, acts of nature, acts of war or acts of terrorism.
The term Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) refers specifically to a “CBRNE weapon, device or material” which is specifically designed to produce casualties of terror.
While the nation is focused on terrorism, the source of the CBRNE incident is not our focus. Our response is much the same regardless of the source of the incident.

With the Unified Command Plan of 1999, the President directed the establishment of a deployable Joint Task Force dedicated solely to domestic Consequence Management. JTF-CS stood up in Oct 1999 as part of the Unified Command Plan 99 and is the only DoD command dedicated solely to the mission of Consequence Management.
We became part of U.S. Northern Command Oct 2002.

6. What is JTF-CS?
Approximately 160 civilian and military personnel at Fort Monroe, Virginia
Deployable Command and Control headquarters for Department of Defense personnel who provide detection, decontamination, medical, and logistical support
Source of response plans for essential DOD support to the Lead Federal Agency
JTF-CS: providing coordination of DOD teams to save lives, prevent injury, and provide temporary critical life support
JTF-CS is commanded by a two-star Army National Guard General and consists of a deployable headquarters plus those forces attached for exercises or operations.
Our staff consists of active and reserve component military from all five services (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and the Coast Guard), General Schedule (GS) personnel and civilian contractors. Collectively, we possess expertise in a wide range of functional areas to include operations, logistics, intelligence, planning, communications, and medical services.

7. Guiding Principles of JTF Guiding Principles of JTF - - CS CS
Consistent with the Constitution
DoD assistance provided
In keeping with the safeguards established in the Constitution, DoD does not assume control of the response effort. JTF-CS will always remain subordinate to civilian control, in accordance with Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution, which identifies the President as Commander in Chief. DoD (and thus JTF-CS) will always be in support of a Lead Federal Agency, usually FEMA.
The primary authority for the Department of Defense and thus JTF-CS to engage in its mission is the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1974, which authorizes the president to provide disaster and emergency assistance to state and local governments upon receipt of a request from the state or territorial governor. Essentially this means that the Federal Response Plan is initiated upon a governor’s request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration. Note that the local authorities involved are the drivers of this response process.

8. Guiding Principles of JTF Guiding Principles of JTF - - CS CS
Lead Federal Agency (LFA)
supported by DoD
DoD roles, skills, and
The Lead Federal Agency will request DoD support for emergency assistance only after other federal resources have been exhausted, in order to preserve our resources for DoD’s primary war-fighting mission. The federal response will take advantage of our unique skills, such as the ability to mass-mobilize personnel and equipment on short notice. It will also take advantage of DoD specific capabilities developed for war-fighting that can be utilized in a domestic emergency, such as the ability to operate in a contaminated environment or handle mass casualties through mortuary affairs operations.
The Reserve Components, already embedded in their communities, will be the first military responders in a consequence management operation and JTF-CS is in an optimal position to advise a military effort even by Reserve Component forces that are not under our control.
The fact that we are commanded by a National Guard general proves invaluable when coordinating federal military efforts with The Adjutants General of the National Guard, who normally continue to operate under the command of state governors, under Title 32 or state active duty.
It’s also important to know what JTF-CS doesn’t do. Domestic law enforcement and civil administration are the responsibility of civil authorities. Unless specifically authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress, JTF-CS will not engage in direct law enforcement activities. The Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385) prohibits the use of federal (Title 10) active duty Army and Air Force personnel, including active duty Navy and Marine Corps personnel by policy extension, in direct participation in law enforcement, unless specifically authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress. Direct law enforcement includes such activities as arrest of suspected criminals, search for and seizure of evidence and investigation of criminal activities.

9. A Unique Mission
DoD traditionally stands ready to assist state and local authorities in response to natural disasters
Effective CBRNE response requires a very different set of resources, skills, and experience
-- Situational awareness
-- Pre-planning
-- Pre-identifying appropriate personnel and organizations
Military forces have a long history of providing domestic assistance during emergencies generated by natural disasters, when local and state governments and federal agencies have exhausted their resources. All services have capabilities developed for war-fighting that can also be applied to domestic consequence management missions.
Our job at JTF-CS, if called upon, is to gain situational awareness as soon as possible so the proper teams can respond rapidly upon request with the right people, tools, and information.
Prior to a Presidential disaster declaration, JTF-CS is prepared to send out a Command Assessment Element and liaison officers on short notice to gain situational awareness and optimize anticipatory planning.
If called upon, we can, at the request of the Lead Federal Agency, employ a task-organized force with the capabilities needed to effectively respond. JTF-CS can tap appropriate organizations and personnel to provide the necessary detection, decontamination, medical, and logistical support.

10. Situational Awareness
Liaison Officers
Operations Center
Command Assessment Element
We have a three-fold process that enables us to gain and maintain situational awareness.
At Fort Monroe, JTF-CS staffs a 24/7 operations center tasked with gaining and maintaining situational awareness.
JTF-CS also has Liaison Officers who routinely interact with our interagency partners to ensure familiarity with their operations, facilitate interagency communications and operations, and gain first-hand understanding of their emergency response plans.
Should an incident actually occur, JTF-CS is prepared to send a Command Assessment Element to the incident area. This element would consist of about 7 people: our Commander, Senior Operational Planner, Communications Officer, Manpower Planner, Logistics Planner, and Public Affairs and Legal Advisors. These personnel will enable us to establish “ground truth” with regard to what emergency assets and capabilities are either at-hand or available to emergency managers through intra-city or interstate compacts. Once this is known, JTF planners at Fort Monroe can perform predictive analysis regarding the types of missions that DoD may be tasked to perform by the Lead Federal Agency. Our extensive planning efforts enables DoD to organize a timely flow of appropriate assets to the incident area upon request.

Toxins
Biological Pathogens (Contagions) most dangerous
This chart shows our analysis of the CBRNE threat spectrum in terms of the most likely, the most dangerous, and the most destructive threat.
An attack involving a high-yield explosive is the most likely. The relative ease in which these weapons can be obtained and the frequency of their use worldwide last year supports this assessment.
Contagious biological pathogens, such as smallpox, are the most dangerous threat because of the difficulty in containing them. Unlike the other threats whose occurrence is almost immediately known and the damage readily assessed, the incubation period of biological pathogens enables them to initially go undetected and spread well beyond a limited geographical area. Consequently, the resulting number of casualties can continue grow at an exponential rate.
We consider a nuclear incident to be the most destructive in terms of physical damage, but the least likely.

Remember, in a CBRNE incident the effects, not their origin, are the enemy. This is a significant shift in mindset for the professional soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines of DoD. So instead of focusing on what initiated the CBRNE, our planning process begins with determining the potential effects:
The effects of the weapon result in certain types of harm: injuries, sickness, physical damage, and chemical contamination.
These factors assist us in assessing the type of response that DoD could potentially be called upon to support.
Quickly identifying the types of resources required assists us in developing an initial entry force and a Time Phased Force Deployment List .
This mindset assists the JTF in responding as speedily as possible to the disaster.
Bottom line: the better we are able to anticipate requests for federal assistance that might come our way, the more quickly we’ll be able to deliver an appropriate response. Thus DoD assists in preserving the public trust in our government’s ability to manage the incident.
Going back to our mission statement, we exist to save lives, prevent injury, and provide temporary critical life support. Our ability to plan in advance of an attack drives our ability to respond to the effects in the most timely and efficient manner.
DOD created JTF-CS to deal with this enemy.

This slide summarizes what we do across the spectrum of Consequence Management operations.
…from the routine, where we help define requirements and shape future doctrine, to periodical exercises (both internal and external, including those at the interagency level), to real world response if required. JTF-CS has developed Joint Planning Augmentation Cells to help work with and train other Combatant Commands. These teams consist of 5-15 people with extensive consequence management planning skills who can help other staffs plan for and respond to a CBRNE incident in their immediate area of responsibility, while not stripping JTF-CS of its own response capability should the need arise.
The internal and external exercise programs are geared toward maintaining proficiency and readiness. The exercises enable us to leverage federal, state and local participation in order to design, build and conduct realistic scenarios with actual players in the federal response plan. It is through these exercises that the JTF-CS is able to build strong relationships with our interagency partners and get first hand knowledge on how they respond. We then evaluate the results of these exercises, capture lessons learned and incorporate them into our training cycle.
Additionally, we regularly support National Special Security Events, such as the Olympics. We provide Liaison Officers to coordinate on-site with the agencies managing the NSSEs, and back at Fort Monroe we engage in planning a DoD response should one be requested by the Lead Federal Agency.
We maintain high deployment readiness. We steadily increase our CBRNE knowledge base and maintain a robust set of plans for various contingencies - we’ll talk further about this.

On the left are the documents that provide us with strategic military guidance.
On the right are state and community plans. Responsibility for response-planning resides at the local level, where officials are most familiar with their own special circumstances.
Our current planning effort includes analysis of available state and local plans to get an understanding of what assets each community feels it has available and what they consider critical requirements. In doing so, we can help anticipate what additional federal (and in particular, DoD) assets might be required to respond to a CBRNE incident in that community.
Our planning is a continual process in which we integrate current DoD guidance with information gained from reviewing state and local plans, thereby giving us the flexibility to provide a tailored response.

Governor requests Presidential Disaster Declaration through FEMA
FEMA implements Federal Response Plan
President declares major disaster or emergency
JTF-CS sends Liaison Officers
The CBRNE response starts and builds from the local level and escalates to the state/federal levels only when available resources are not sufficient.
Deployment of JTF-CS would occur only after an established sequence of events:
- Governor’s request
- Presidential declaration
- Federal Response Plan put into action
- DoD support requested by FEMA
- Force deployment authorized by SECDEF
Deployment of our Liaison Officers and Command Assessment Element would occur prior to any unit deployment.

The vertical bars show how homeland security organizations operate on parallel lines of authority.
The horizontal bar show how we come together at the operational level.
To accomplish our mission, an enormous amount of information sharing is required not only within DoD agencies, but also with federal agencies as well as state and local authorities. The Disaster Field Office is the place where tasks and requirements are identified and validated, with resolution achieved at the lowest level. The State Coordinating Officer manages the state and local response, the Federal Coordinating Officer manages the federal response, and lastly, the Defense Coordinating Officer manages issues requiring DoD response. JTF-CS only acts on mission assignments received from the Lead Federal Agency, passed by the Federal Coordinating Officer to the Defense Coordinating Officer and validated by the Defense Coordinating Officer.
We work constantly to maintain close working relationships with the players in this mission: FEMA, Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control, state and city officials, to name a few. Common trust based on professional relationships is often the basis for sharing information.
The unclassified and classified worlds meet at the site of a CBRNE response. The JTF-CS Emergency Response Communications Suite and FEMA’s Mobile Emergency Response System provide both secure and non-secure voice and data systems to facilitate critical command, control, and decision making processes required for timely, effective response.

This slide represents the JTF organized into special purpose task forces to respond to a CBRNE incident.
TF Response would conduct sampling operations to locate the extent of chemical, biological and radiological hazards. The TF will mark the boundaries and submit samples for identification. Emergency decontamination personnel will act to save lives and limit the spread of contamination.
TF Medical would focus on distribution of medical supplies, shot teams, hospital augmentation of special skills, providing definitive medical care, and technical support. They will also provide care for civilians rescued by TF Response.
TF Support and the JTF troops will most likely be located at a military base near the incident site. We refer to this military base as the “BSI,” or Base Support Installation.
TF Support would provide direct and general logistical support to the JTF. It will also manage the Lead Federal Agency’s mission assignments for transportation and mortuary affairs support. It would support local authorities in providing temporarily displaced civilians with shelter, sanitation, food, and other forms of assistance.
JTF Troops would focus on meeting the needs of JTF personnel so that they can focus on their jobs.

19. Conclusion
JTF-CS will plan and integrate DOD support to the designated Lead Federal Agency for domestic CBRNE incidents
When directed, JTF-CS deploys to the incident site to establish command and control of assigned DOD forces
JTF-CS provides military assistance to civil authorities
In conclusion, I’d like you to take away these key points about the mission of JTF-CS:
Our planning and liaison are continual.
We deploy as a last resort, only after the incident overwhelms the resources available to the local, state and federal authorities and our assistance is requested by the Lead Federal Agency.
As soon as stability is reestablished, DoD forces will return to their home stations.
While hoping the need never arises, JTF-CS is ready to to save lives, prevent injury, and provide temporary critical life support after a domestic CBRNE incident
