## 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**

## 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**

## 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**

## Ensure appropriate capabilities / unit mix
Provide sufficient capabilities under state control
Provide a more predictable model for operational rotations

**Provide sufficient *****capabilities***** under state control**
**Provide a more predictable model for operational rotations**

## 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**

## What Data Does The JCD Contain? 

_**Non - Guard (State) Capabilities**_
- Lists state agencies that may provide capabilities for state domestic operations
_**National Guard Current Force**_
-   Lists state NG assets the state could use for domestic operations
_**National Guard Future Force**_
-   Lists _future_ state NG assets the state will have as of 30 Sep 10.
_**Other Reserve Components**_
- Lists other Reserve Component units and attempts to identify other Reserve Component capabilities that reside within each state/territory
- NOTE: Capabilities are shown in terms of “essential 10”
**Aviation/Airlift, CBRNE, Communications, Command and Control, Engineer, Logistics, Maintenance, Medical, Transportation, Security**
