These functional areas support Law Enforcement and Community Based agencies throughout Florida. Our supply reduction efforts have resulted in the seizure of billions of dollars in narcotics and assets. Our reduction efforts resulted in prevention education of over 100,000 youth annually, and our training efforts result in the training of thousands of personnel annually. Overview

11. Slide 11 of 34 Unclassified Civil Operations Overview The FLNG-CDP Civil Operations Program (COP) will provide coalition support and development to anti-drug coalitions throughout all 67 Florida Counties by using unique military skill-sets and culture to assist community organizations in creating a safe and healthy environment for our citizens. The COP will provide coalition support in the way of development, strategic planning, In-Kind Support, youth and adult leadership training, and approved drug education activities. Through embedded partnership with our community based organizations Florida’s COP will assist local leaders in developing and resourcing initiatives designed to reduce drug use in the community through education and interdiction facilitation.

12. Slide 12 of 34 Unclassified Drug Demand Reduction Programs Youth Leader: A dynamic Youth Program based on the Army Values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. Soldiers and Airmen conduct this training in flexible course lengths. The primary target of the Youth Leader program is Middle School students but it can easily be modified for elementary and high schools. The program goal is to provide our youth with the values and confidence to make strong life decisions. Night Vision: A flexible information dissemination program aimed at, “Enabling Florida’s Youth to clearly see the dangers of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Other Drugs. This award winning program is presented by uniformed Soldiers and Airmen as well as trained students. Youth Camps: DDR supports Youth Camps conducted by various Community Based Organizations. Support for these camps includes facilitation of the various DDR programs listed above as well as personnel and logistics support.

13. Slide 13 of 34 Unclassified The Kaizen!!! Community Systems Group and the National Guard Counterdrug Program have collaborated to develop a Kaizen event that is free of charge for coalitions nationwide. The term “Kaizen” is taken from the Japanese management approach to continuous process improvement. It is hoped that coalitions will regularly assess their current strengths and weaknesses and identify opportunities to improve. By repeating this cycle, coalitions can measure their improvement in capacity over time. This program develops a report that outlines your strengths and weaknesses. Excellent tool for defining success.

19. Slide 19 of 34 Unclassified Reconnaissance Ground Reconnaissance Team (GRT): Surface and Subsurface The Ground Reconnaissance Team based at Camp Blanding, Florida, is comprised of highly trained personnel, forming two operational teams with a support team element. Specializing in rural and urban reconnaissance and observation, the GRT utilizes video and digital photography, remote camera systems, day and night observation devices, and secure communications in order to obtain documentation of suspected illicit drug activity for our law enforcement requestors. While primarily ground reconnaissance, the GRT also specializes in counterdrug underwater dive operations to combat the smuggling of illegal drugs attached to the hulls of ships arriving at Florida’s ports.

20. Slide 20 of 34 Unclassified Reconnaissance Aerial Reconnaissance Team (ART): The ART is a counter-narcotics and homeland security aviation unit based out of Cecil Field in Jacksonville Florida. The unit, formerly known as the RAID (Reconnaissance and Interdiction Detachment) has been in existence since the early 1990s. Initially their primary mission was marijuana eradication and night-time Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) observation of suspected narcotics activity. Over the years the ART has grown to meet ever increasing demands from our counter-narcotics missions, as well as demands involving homeland security and natural disaster missions. Maintaining proficiency in these various mission sets has helped us build and maintain good working relationships with the Department of Homeland Security through Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Coast Guard. The ART maintains a year-round mission support request with both of these agencies.

29. Slide 29 of 34 Unclassified CURRENT ISSUES: Reliance on Congressional Adds for sustainment of the Counterdrug Program creates turbulence for program efforts to provide support to Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) and Community Based Organizations (CBO). DISCUSSION: Since 2001 the Counterdrug Program has grown increasingly reliant on Congressional Adds to sustain the level of support provided to LEA/CBOs. Congressional Adds have increased from 12 to 28 percent of the overall budget between 2001 and 2009. Reliance on Congressional Adds creates a condition of operational uncertainty, threatens to erode our credibility with supported agencies, and affects the lives of personnel on the program if the add is not received. Florida’s program has consistently proven we provide a large return on investment as we have been consistently recognized for our achievements nationally, with the most recent being best program for 2009. Our staff actively supports NGB initiatives and advisory councils as additional duties. Our achievements more than justify sustainment of our program. RECOMMENDATION: Provide $11M in POM funding to stabilize the Florida National Guard Counterdrug program. Program Sustainment

30. Slide 30 of 34 Unclassified CURRENT ISSUES: NGB is proposing a reduction in MCTFT’s allocation of the Presidential Budget for Counterdrug Schools from $2.9M to $2.0M for FY11 in order to fund a fifth school in Washington State. DISCUSSION: Expansion of the Counterdrug Schools system should only be considered if additional Presidential Budget funds are received. MCTFT has a long history of providing valuable and relevant training to many hundreds of thousands of Law Enforcement and Community Based personnel. Counterdrug Training across the United States, including support to the nation’s High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs) and Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) will be severely reduced since MCTFT historically provides more training than all the other schools combined. Additionally, MCTFT receives a Congressional Add of $3M annually. If this add is not received, MCTFT is facing a budget reduction from $5.9M to $2M in FY11. This would have catastrophic consequences for MCTFT. RECOMMENDATION: TAG support sustainment of MCTFT President Budget at $2.9M Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training (MCTFT) Funding
