Synchronization through Partnership

• Synchronize: to arrange events in near simultaneous co-existence

• Partnership: a legal arrangement between parties to work toward a common goal

• How to Achieve = Unity of Effort

– Establishing and Building Relationships– Speaking the Same Language (NIMS)– Detailed Planning– Training / Rehearsals– Common Operating Picture = Situational Awareness

3

Establishing and Building Relationships

• Determining who are the Players

– Government, NGO, Private

• Multi-Echelon / Interagency

– Federal, State, Local

• Understanding their Missions, Responsibilities, and Jurisdictions (legal authorities)

– Stafford Act, Economy Act, State and Local Laws

• Building Trust, Sharing Information/LNOs

• Mutual Participation in Joint Activities/Augmentation

4

COP = SA

• Common Operating Picture (COP)– Numerous systems in use today, though not common– Much work to be done here

• Talk in terms of REQUIREMENTS and CAPABILITIES

• Use NIMS Language and Structure to achieve Organization and Standardization

• Facilitates Gap Analysis

• Facilitates tiered and proportional response

• Enhances understanding of Boots on the Ground status

Common Operating Picture and the Strategy For Homeland Defense and Civil Support

• “…….this expanded national security challenge necessitates an unprecedented degree of shared situational awareness among Federal agencies, with state, local, tribal, and private entities, and between the United States and its key foreign partners.” (p. 23)

• “Homeland defense and civil support are Total Force responsibilities. However, the nation needs to focus particular attention on better using the competencies of National Guard and Reserve Component organizations. The National Guard is particularly well suited for civil support missions.” (p. 35)

• “…..because the most critical element of successfully defeating threats to the US homeland is shared situational awareness, the Department will focus special attention in this area.” (p. 39)

Cited from DOD Strategy For Homeland Defense and Civil Support June 2005

Implied state / local with federal?

National Defense Authorization Act –FY 2008

• Requires the SECDEF:

– To do “an assessment of the readiness of the National Guard to perform tasks required to support the National Response Plan for support to Civil Authorities”

– To “ensure that each State Governor has an opportunity to provide to the Secretary an independent evaluation of the State’s National Guard”

RATIONALE FOR JOINT CAPABILITIES DATABASE(JCD)

There will be additional terrorist attacks and natural disasters Events could be simultaneous, stressing response capabilities

National Guard units will continue to be deployed to overseas theaters and may not be as readily available

Focus on the Homeland requires greater partnership with all levels of government

Situational Awareness: DoD and many levels of government must ensure they have current visibility of capabilities to support domestic operations

What Is The JCD?

JCD Is a Web Based Tool That Is:

•Identifying and cataloguing capabilities within each state/territory, including: NG, non-guard state, and other reserve component

•The AG’s assessment of his/her joint force capabilities

•State capabilities measured against state requirements

•A strategic method of identifying capability gaps

•A way to highlight the most critical (state), functional capability shortfalls

•Unclassified/ FOUO information

•Identifying impact of force structure changes

•An indicator of mobilization impact

•A logical assessment containing standardized methodologies, that is tailorable to address the uniqueness of each state and territory
