CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS 

l General 

Within the scope of this plan, the primary objectives 

are the preparation for and +he accomplishment of the phased 

reconstitution of .AFSA f'mlctions with m1nimum delay These ob~ectives are firm, and will remain so subsequent to an 

attack However, the means of tultilling these ob3ect1ves 

are deliberatel.1' broad and. flexible, to provide against the 

maD7 variable factors to be expected under disaster conditions 

Prarq)t and efficacious action will be required from all concerned to insure the ettecti-veness of this plan 

2 Basic Tasks 

a Basic tasks to be accomplished in support of this 

plaii are chronologically listed in the Aim.ex to .Appendix 

"A" ~lification of these tasks, including assigmn.ents 

to responsible Staff' Divisions, is contained in appropriate 

appendices 

b Responsible Staff Divisions will prepare, for internal. 

use'; ii'UCh detailed planning as is necessa:ey for the etteative 

performs.nae of assigned tasks Copies of detailed plans will 

be forwarded to the Chief, Plans and Policy Division, for review and coordination 

c Certain documents, such as detailed plans, personnel 

lists, succession lists, contracts and agreements, must 

be utilized immediately after a disaster Stowage for 

these documents must be provided in such manner as to 

assure their availabilit7 with m1njmum delay Detailed 

plans of responsible Staff' Divisions will cover stowage 

ot appropriate .AFS.ADIS documents, ancl will be coordinated 

with the Ad.juta.ut General (Appendix ''D ", paragraph 2! ) 

3 Pre-41saster Tasks 

a The expeditious completion of designated pre-disaster 

tasks ia of great importance to the tul.fillment of the 

ob3ectives stated herein There is no substitute tor

base on which to rebuild after an attack

results of such reviews will be reported concurrently with

b. For planning purposes, the 90-day period subsequent 

to.disaster has been.divided into three phases to emphasize 

the concentration of effort during each phase:

· (a) The first two or three days after disaster

of t~ attack on .AFSA, and tor determination of 

the number of personnel casualties. 

(b) Upon completion of the evaluation, the 

Director will determine the course of actiQD. to be take~ and implement AFSADIS as appropriate. 

(c) Immediately·following the· above.decision, 

security detachments will be transported to the 

alternate site, . .AFSA communications will be transferred, and salvage operations will commence. 

Transportation of personnel and equipment to the 

alternate site will.begin. 

(d) If a repetitive attack is considered

site will be given to communications intelligence · (COMINT), commun:tcations security (COM.SEC), and 

research and developme~t (R&D) 1 respectivel.J'.

for movement to the altei-nate site will be given to
