8. Command Relationships
COMUSEASTCOM is the supported Commander
USNAVFOREAST has been designated CFMCC in the EASTCOM AOR
CRS-4 is supported Commander for SPOD operations at Mile Hammock Bay and Morehead City operations
NMCB 1 and NMCB 5 is supported Commander for construction projects
EODMU 6 is supported Commander for C-IED operations

9. Constraints / Restraint
Constraints (Must do):
Increase the capabilities of the Amberland civil and military forces
Protect ourselves from terrorist activities that will pressure us to leave or otherwise degrade our relationship with he legitimate governments
Restraints (Can’t do):
Perform TSC outside Amberland recognized borders to include sea accesses
Show an aggressive U.S. influence in treasure coast
Deploy forces and equipment to Amberland above those required for assigned tasks
Public release of information about this operation without final approval by Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (OASD) PA

10. Facts
PHARM operates in major urban areas within Amberland with cells located throughout the treasure coast.
Garnet is supporting the PHARM in planning, logistics and recruiting/training new members to initiate an offensive campaign to destabilize the Amber and Amberland Governments.
The PHARM are known to conduct small scale attacks against Army, Police, Government officials and infrastructure to erode popular support of the government.
The PHARM also conducts piracy attacks and armed robbery within the territorial waters of Amberland and use the inland waters to transport and hide weapons further exacerbating the threat to international peace and security in the TCR.
CFMCC theater security cooperation operations will be executed within the recognized borders of Amberland to include sea accesses.
Amberland has contracted a local firm to provide outer security at Bogue Airfield and Mile Hammock Bay. The two bases don’t have dedicated military security. Contract is good for deployment duration. RSO from US Embassy highly recommends active US security posture at and around US equipment and personnel. Current FP condition is Charlie (FPCON-C).

11. Facts
7. Amberland has contracted to provide the materials for the road project and the school renovation. They have assigned government representatives to coordinate delivery and resupply of materials.
8. No mil to mil engagements have been approved by the US Embassy. All requests should be forwarded to CFMCC coordinated through the US Embassy RSO. US Forces will have civilian engagements along the intercoastal waterway and during port and airfield operations.
9.The facility at Morehead City is a deepwater commercial port with perimeter security, tugs and escorts, and HN cargo handlers (personnel and equipment). There is sufficient secure storage in vicinity of the pier. Mile Hammock Bay is a more shallow and more local port with limited seaward and landward accesses and pier equipment. Security, tugs and escorts, and cargo handlers are contracted on an as needed basis. Although there is sufficient landward storage of cargo, it is further from the off load locations and susceptible to the weather. When handling US and Coalition vessels, the US frequently augments the local security, provides escort of high value assets, and depending on the ship and cargo will either augment the HN cargo handlers or conduct offload without HN support.

12. Facts
10. The local police doesn’t have any official C-IED capability and will often destroy suspected IEDs in place or route local traffic around the area.
11. There are no intelligence assets dedicated to NEF during Phase 0. Specific collection requests may be forwarded to this HQ.
12. The US has had some SOF presence in Amberland. Individual US Military members have transitioned through the Treasure Coast region. COMUSEASTCOM and staff have conducted visits with Amberland government and military leaders. 6 US Marines serve aboard the US Embassy.
13. US footprint in Amberland will generate interest from terrorists in the region, but no specific changes in TTPs are expected. Report all indications and warning regarding terrorist activities in Amberland.
14. There have not been any reported major attacks against soft targets in the vicinity of Bogue, MHB or MHC. Regional and local violence (verbal threats, minor crimes, looting, sporadic undirected gun fire, dog fighting) continues and can be expected.

13. Proposed Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIRs)
1. PIR-An Increase of local population support to terrorist groups
2. PIR-Emerging trends in implementing IEDs
3. PIR-Terrorist activity interfering with operations in the NEF AO
4. PIR-Terrorist activity targeting NEF personnel
5. PIR-Movement of terrorist personnel and equipment
6. FFIR-Change to LAD
7. FFIR-Change to ROE
8. FFIR-Change to Host Nation Support
9. FFIR- Inability of units to start/complete task as directed

80. Operational Limitations
Restraint/Constraint
Implication
Construction equipment in theater is limited to initial lift. Due to the expected duration of the operations, requests for additional assets will likely not be approved. (R)
Any change of project scope will change completion time and limited capacity to support additional requirements
Repair parts and construction equipment limited to U.S. Equipment only (R)
Can not give repair parts or equipment to HN during Mil-to-Mil engagement
CFMCC TSC operations will be executed within the recognized borders of Amberland to include sea accesses.
Operations within Amberland only

81. Facts
PHARM operates in major urban areas within Amberland with cells located throughout the treasure coast.
Garnet is supporting the PHARM in planning, logistics and recruiting/training new members to initiate an offensive campaign to destabilize the Amber and Amberland Governments.
The PHARM are known to conduct small scale attacks against Army, Police, Government officials and infrastructure to erode popular support of the government.
The PHARM also conducts piracy attacks and armed robbery within the territorial waters of Amberland and use the inland waters to transport and hide weapons further exacerbating the threat to international peace and security in the TCR.
CFMCC theater security cooperation operations will be executed within the recognized borders of Amberland to include sea accesses.
Amberland has contracted a local firm to provide outer security at Bogue Airfield and Mile Hammock Bay. The two bases don’t have dedicated military security. Contract is good for deployment duration. RSO from US Embassy highly recommends active US security posture at and around US equipment and personnel. Current FP condition is Charlie (FPCON-C).

82. Facts
7. Amberland has contracted to provide the materials for the road project and the school renovation. They have assigned government representatives to coordinate delivery and resupply of materials.
8. No mil to mil engagements have been approved by the US Embassy. All requests should be forwarded to CFMCC coordinated through the US Embassy RSO. US Forces will have civilian engagements along the intercoastal waterway and during port and airfield operations.
9.The facility at Morehead City is a deepwater commercial port with perimeter security, tugs and escorts, and HN cargo handlers (personnel and equipment). There is sufficient secure storage in vicinity of the pier. Mile Hammock Bay is a more shallow and more local port with limited seaward and landward accesses and pier equipment. Security, tugs and escorts, and cargo handlers are contracted on an as needed basis. Although there is sufficient landward storage of cargo, it is further from the off load locations and susceptible to the weather. When handling US and Coalition vessels, the US frequently augments the local security, provides escort of high value assets, and depending on the ship and cargo will either augment the HN cargo handlers or conduct offload without HN support.

83. Facts
10. The local police doesn’t have any official C-IED capability and will often destroy suspected IEDs in place or route local traffic around the area.
11. There are no intelligence assets dedicated to NEF during Phase 0. Specific collection requests may be forwarded to this HQ.
12. The US has had some SOF presence in Amberland. Individual US Military members have transitioned through the Treasure Coast region. COMUSEASTCOM and staff have conducted visits with Amberland government and military leaders. 6 US Marines serve aboard the US Embassy. Amberland military information is available in the country study.
13. US footprint in Amberland will generate interest from terrorists in the region, but no specific changes in TTPs are expected. Report all indications and warning regarding terrorist activities in Amberland.
14. There have not been any reported major attacks against soft targets in the vicinity of Bogue, MHB or MHC. Regional and local violence (verbal threats, minor crimes, looting, sporadic undirected gun fire, dog fighting) continues and can be expected.

90. CTF 956 Proposed Mission Statement
O/A 1 Aug 2014, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group TWO (FWD) deploy as CTF 956 (NEF Commander) and establish a secure Maritime Operations Center (MOC) and Forward Operating Base (FOB) at Bogue and Mile Hammock Bay. CTF 956 will conduct theatre security cooperation operations in Amberland and its territorial waters to establish local security, restore infrastructure, and support UNSCRs in order to increase Host Nation capacity, capabilities and regional stability. CTF 956 will be prepared to conduct humanitarian assistance, non-combatant evacuation operations and reception, staging, onward-movement and integration (RSO&I) for follow on U.S. and Coalition forces

91. CTF 956 Proposed Commander’s Intent
Purpose: Strengthen existing relations with Amberland and reduce popular support for radical ideology. Reinforce the legitimacy of the Ambertine government in the eyes of the people in order to increase host nation capacity, capabilities and regional stability, and demonstrate coalition resolve against PHARM and Garnet aggression.

92. CTF 956 Proposed Commander’s Intent
Method: I intend to accomplish our mission by leveraging the full spectrum of CTF 956 theatre security cooperation and humanitarian assistance capability. The NEF TSC program provides a visible but not aggressive U.S. influence in treasure coast. The TSC program includes but is not limited to the following tasks:
critical maritime infrastructure security to include landward and seaward port and harbor security and high value asset escort;
C-IED operations;
cargo handling from both expeditionary and functioning ports;
maritime security operations with coastal and riverine boats;
infrastructure construction to include horizontal and vertical construction.
We will partner with our host nation counterparts at all levels during the planning process and give them the lead during the execution phase of all initiatives, projects, training, and operations of their government’s relationship with the world community. Demonstrate coalition support for Amberland authority while improving key infrastructure in the nation. We need to protect ourselves from terrorist activities that will pressure us to leave or otherwise degrade our relationship with the legitimate governments.

93. CTF 956 Proposed Commander’s Intent
Endstate: Increased local Ambertine capacity and capability to provide security and infrastructure support to their nation.

94. Initial Staff Estimates
