Concept of Operations uFive Phases uI: Assess/Respond uII: Deploy uIII: Establish Intermediate Staging Area (ISA) uIV: Distribute/restore uV: Handoff/Redeploy

Phase I: Assess/Respond uCMCC deploys Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (MEUSOC) vicinity Bacolod and San Carlos in order to provide immediate support to Regional Disaster Coordinating Council VI. uResponse time less than 1 Day. uCMCC serves as SARC

Phase I: Assess/Respond uCLOGC deploys Intermediate Support Activity (ISA) survey and reconnaissance party vicinity Cebu City uCommanding General CJTF and staff embark USS Essex

Wargame Results - Water uNegros - 500,000 liters of water/day u4 MEU (SOC) water teams –> 1.5 Liters production each team; 1M Liters storage each team; each team helo transportable uPotable water production No later than (NLT) 1 hour after arrival. uW/in first day - potable water needs met at Negros.

Phase II: Deploy/Respond uCLOGC deploys vicinity Cebu City uReception Staging Onward Movement and Integration (RSOI) begins uCSOC deploys liaison teams to NDCC and RDCC uCMOC est. ashore at Cebu City uCSARC established in CJTF on board Essex

Phase III: Establish ISA uCLOGC establishes ISA vicinity Cebu City - Sea Port of Debarkation Cebu City; Aerial Port of Debarkation Mactan Air Base. RSOI ends. uC2 architecture and Liaison Teams established with NDCC, RDCC, and Area Commands in Visayas and Mindanao uCLOGC establishes Combined Joint Movement Control Center (CJMCC) vicinity Cebu City

Phase IV: Distribute/Restore uMEU (SOC) redeploys on board USS Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) - DS mission complete uNDCC establishes priority of support by area commander and RDCC uArea commanders and RDCC’s give requests to CJTF Liaison Officers (LnO)

Phase IV: Distribute/Restore uLnO’s pass requests to CJTF who sources mission in keeping with NDCC priorities uSupport continued to endstate l Ground LOC’s sufficient for Host Nation (HN) to distribute services

Distribution Estimates –1500 short tons per day by air l Surge to 2200 short tons for 3 days l Meets all water/food/medical needs –10,000 short tons per day by sea l Lighterage craft (LCAC/LCU) and offload locations/GLOC net will be limiting factors. l LCAC/LCU capability = 4200 short tons/day l Meets all major unit movement and shelter material needs.

Phase V: Handoff/Redeploy uRepublic of the Philippines accepts General Support responsibilities from CJTF uOther national forces redeploy to home station uCJTF stands down

Continuous Supporting Plans uPublic/Civil Affairs Theme - “24 Nations here to help the Philippine people recover. Once immediate effects of the disaster are mitigated, the CTF will disband and the Troop Contributing Nations (TCNs) will return home.” uExtended Civil Military Operations Center (CMOC) through Liaison teams

Time Estimates uTimeline: Initial response in 1 day or less. –Phase I complete in 3 days. –II/III (RSOI) complete in 7 days (10 total). l Water needs met w/in 7 days –IV complete in 45 days. (GLOC dependent) l Food needs met in 14 days l Shelter in 30 days. –CTF stands down in 60 days.

Wargame Branches and Sequels –Condition: 30 day period expires with no US extension for CJTF Command Element l CJTF deploys ashore vicinity Cebu City –Condition: Cebu APOD/SPOD unsuitable l ISA shifts to Cayagan de Oro –Condition: Other nations want to participate, but not as a member of the CTF. l CTF coordinates support through CMOC/Liaison teams & NDCC system as if country were a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

Public Affairs Plan External Themes and Messages uPhilippine Government (GOP) firmly in control of country u GOP requested International assistance due to Terrible Natural Disaster that overtasked their extensive disaster infrastructure uTroop contributing nations (TCNs) are here as Good Neighbors, and have no political agendas uTCNs are here only until GOP and NGO/PVO systems can assume long term responsibility uNEEDS uDO NOT NEED

LEGAL STAFF ESTIMATE

Legal Considerations uStatus of Forces Agreement (SOFA) uCurrent SOFA between US and Philippines will be the “template” and all other nations will be invited to sign uSpeed will be an issue -- these normally take years to complete -- but it will be a guide for how legal issues will be addressed will be invaluable and is a great starting point uBest way to deal with this is to be PROACTIVE –do SOFA’s NOW

Issues Which are Addressed in a SOFA uAdmission of Foreign Forces –Customs, claims, taxes, would be waived uJurisdiction for Criminal Offenses –Host nation has primary jurisdiction but will “waive their primary right to exercise jurisdiction except in cases of particular importance to the Philippines” u Sometimes a good way of getting rid of unpopular cases or cases that are “too popular” uClaims –Government to Government waived –Claims by Civilians paid under local law l Visiting forces treated same as host nation military uLocal laws apply to all visiting military

Combined Rules of Engagement uCreate a “Model” ROE and then see what contributing nations could “sign-up” uIssues: –Defense of other nations servicemembers –Authority to use force to protect designated property –Authority to Detain l for minimum time -- then turn over to civil authorities –Riot Control Agents u are they authorized for use and under what conditions

ROE Card ROE CARD Task Force Bayanihan 16 Nov 2000 NOTHING IN THIS ROE LIMITS YOUR RIGHT TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE ACTION TO DEFEND YOURSELF, YOUR UNIT, AND OTHER TASK FORCE BAYANIHAN PERSONNEL Mission: Your mission is to provide humanitarian assistance and relief to the people of the Philippines.
