9. SOCPAC Event Recap Mission:
3-hour event: N-hour sequence; HA/DR in Sumatra
JPG stood up - gained situational awareness
Roles included: J1; J2; J3; J35; J39; J4; J6
Conducted mission analysis in response to CDR VOCO:
Launch Pacific Survey and Assessment Team
Provide launch options for TF-510 (light and medium)

10. SGST Feasibility Test
Assessment Objectives: Determine feasibility of SGST in a TSOC environment, investigating several perspectives
How well does SGST facilitate contingency and crisis action events?
Does SGST adequately establish an environment to practice SOPs (e.g., N-hour) in a half day event?
Might SGST increase SOCJFCOM engagement with TSOCs by providing a capability to complement live training with SOCJFCOM-hosted follow-on events?
What is SOCPAC’s perception of the utility to use SGST capabilities to increase engagement with partners?
