FOREWORD

Threats to the United States, particularly to our homeland, have 

grown significantly in the last decade. The United States 

Congress has recognized the importance of the National Guard’s 

homeland response mission by codifying membership on the 

Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) for the Chief of the National Guard 

Bureau (CNGB) in the Fiscal Year 2012 National Defense 

Authorization Act. As a member of this group of defense 

advisors to the President of the United States, the Secretary of 

Defense, and Congress, the CNGB also has the responsibility of 

addressing matters involving non-Federalized National Guard 

forces in support of homeland defense and civil support 

missions.

The efforts undertaken at the Joint Domestic Operations 

Equipment Requirements Conference ensure our Citizen Soldiers and Airmen are able to protect 

our homeland and come to their neighbors’ rescue when needed. Our 468,000 Guardsmen and 

women were busy in 2011, responding to 58 natural disasters across the nation, including 

devastating tornadoes, winter storms, hurricanes, tropical storms, and floods. The Air National 

Guard also continued to keep our skies safe by maintaining fighter aircraft on alert and ready to 

respond at a moment’s notice. Our Civil Support Teams responded to 128 missions in 38 States 

last year alone. Furthermore, we provided roughly 70 percent of the Department of Defense’s 

forces for response to weapons of mass destruction, which included the fielding of the first 

Homeland Response Forces.

On 21 February 2012, National Guard members came together from across all 54 states, 

territories, and the District of Columbia to participate in this year’s conference. The assigned 

working groups addressed all of the Emergency Support Functions in the National Response 

Framework. The results of these deliberations are outlined in detail in the following pages and 

serve to establish requirements in the domestic area of operations.

As the first CNGB to sit on the JCS, I endorse the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations 

Equipment Requirements Book. I am extremely proud to represent our militia forces as they 

continue to protect our nation, just as they have done for over 375 years, and I pledge to ensure

they are properly equipped to fulfill their most critical mission here at home.

Introduction

The Inaugural Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) 

Conference and Book

Leveraging on the success of the previous Air National Guard Domestic Operations Equipment 

Requirements (DOER) Conferences and Requirements Books, the Chief of the National Guard 

(NG) directed that the 2012 conference take a broader, joint perspective. 

This year’s inaugural joint conference hosted over 500 military and civilian attendees 

representing all 54 states and territories, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 

regions and Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), as well as Army National Guard (ARNG) and 

Air National Guard (ANG) Readiness Center staffs. The conference goal was to define and 

document ARNG, ANG, and joint capability shortfalls for domestic operations. Field experts 

identified critical capabilities by drawing on a vast pool of experience and an understanding of 

the domestic mission at the regional, state, and local level. 

As in previous years, the 2012 JDOERs book is organized along ESFs. Posturing of NG 

resources across FEMA regions facilitates rapid access to critical consequence management 

capabilities. The Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements Spreadsheet summarizes 

program cost by capability and Service. The State/FEMA Matrix identifies states and FEMA 

regions projected to receive the identified critical capabilities. The remaining sections of the 

book are the specific ESF Tabs that include a summary of the conference results and 

information papers on each required capability classified as “Critical” (delivery in less than 3 

years). Each Tab is further divided into ARNG and ANG sections to allow for an easier 

discussion of Service capabilities and needs in the context of the Department of Homeland 

Security/FEMA construct. Each paper addresses: Background - capability description; Source 

of Need - determines documented need; Impact if Not Funded - capability material gap; Units

Impacted - units/states that would be included in the receipt of the capability; Contractor -

current contractor if identified; Contingency Supported - Previous Usage - supported or 

anticipated; and Cost - funding required.

The JDOERs process, including the annual conference and associated requirements book, is the 

cornerstone of a vision that will equip and posture the National Guard as an unparalleled partner 

to civil agencies in times of domestic distress.

Emergency Support

Functions (ESF)

The ESFs provide the structure for coordinating federal interagency support for a federal 

response to an incident. They are mechanisms for grouping functions most frequently used to 

provide federal support to states and federal-to-federal support, both for Stafford Act declared 

emergencies as well as non-Stafford Act incidents. The National Response Framework has 

designated fifteen EFSs to support domestic incident response. The chart below shows which 

National Guard Bureau ESF capabilities are included in the Joint Domestic Operations 

Equipment Requirements book. It is critical that state, local, and National Guard planners 

understand the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the ESFs to ensure full use of 

state resources to provide a seamless incident response. The following pages include ten ESF 

tabs (in bold face type) including information papers on capability needs. Also included is a tab 

covering Incident Awareness and Assessment (IAA). While not an ESF, IAA provides critical 

capabilities during domestic incident response.

Transportation

Transportation (ESF #1) - Transportation assists federal agencies, state and local governmental 

entities, and voluntary organizations requiring transportation capacity to perform response 

missions following a major disaster or emergency. ESF #1 also serves as a coordination point 

between response operations and restoration 

of the transportation infrastructure. It 

includes (1) aviation/airspace management 

and controls transportation safety, (2) 

restoration/recovery of transportation

infrastructure, (3) movement restrictions, and 

(4) damage and impact assessment.

A major disaster may severely damage the 

civil transportation system throughout the

impacted area. Most local transportation 

activities will be hampered by damaged facilities, equipment, 

and infrastructure, as well as disrupted communications. At 

the same time, the disaster will create significant demands for 

national, regional, and local transportation of resources to 

provide for relief and recovery. Federal assistance may be 

required to meet these demands for movement of essential 

resources, as well as for clearing and restoration of the

transportation system.

This ESF supports transport of 

units, personnel, and/or materiel 

from a specified origin to a 

specified destination within a 

specified timeframe. Attributes 

include: (1) transport heavy 

equipment, (2) provide assets to 

transport personnel from the 

affected area, (3) provide assets to transport cargo: bulk, palletized, 

water, Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL), and (4) unimproved, 

damaged, obstructed, flooded surface transport, (5) provide medical 

transport.

CAPABILITY FOR DYNAMIC RE-TASKING

1. Background. The Air National Guard (ANG) provides both air and ground transportation 

capabilities during a domestic response. These capabilities complement the Army National 

Guard’s (ARNG) response capabilities which are critical to the success of the response at the 

forward deployed location. The ability to form a tiered architecture linking ground and airborne 

assets which utilize Over-The-Horizon (OTH) relays, is a vital component that allows Joint Task 

Force (JTF) planners to quickly locate, identify, communicate with, and potentially re-task these 

assets. This capability is critical in ensuring that the right domestic operations forces are in the 

right place at the right time.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and previous domestic operations lessons learned.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Diminished ANG ability to seamlessly integrate response assets with 

ARNG response assets for increased JTF situational awareness, and the ability to dynamically retask assets real-time based on planning objectives. 

4. Units Impacted. Each state that has not currently fielded Blue Force Tracker (BFT) for 

Domestic Operations (DOMOPS).

5. Contractor. General Dynamics, Falls Church, VA.

6. Contingency Supported - Previous Usage. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and the Haiti 

earthquake. At all local, state, and federal disasters where there is a need for forward

ENHANCED ABILITY TO UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD CARGO 

AT INCIDENT SITE

1. Background. One of the Air National Guard’s (ANG) core transportation capabilities is the 

ability to on-load and off-load aircraft. During a domestic response, this capability is critical to 

the success of the operation in the forward deployed location. Currently, each ANG unit’s 

capacity is limited to its peacetime training mission. In order to effectively respond to a 

domestic emergency, a response unit should have the ability to rapidly handle inbound and 

outbound aircraft from a forward deployed location. Each Small Air Terminal within an Airlift 

Wing should be authorized and equipped with one additional all-terrain forklift compatible with 

all tactical aircraft, operable on any airfield, in any weather, and versatile enough for forward 

deployment. At a minimum, each Federal Emergency management Agency (FEMA) region 

should have one all-terrain forklift strategically positioned.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and previous domestic operations lessons learned.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The inability to rapidly on-load/off-load aircraft at forward operating 

locations results in slowed recovery efforts and increased suffering due to delayed receipt of 

supplies, support equipment, and personnel. 

4. Units Impacted. Each of the 22 Small Air Terminal/Aerial Ports assigned to airlift wings. 

At a minimum, one per each of the 10 FEMA regions. 

5. Contractor. Multiple sources available.

6. Contingency Supported - Previous Usage. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and the Haiti 

earthquake. At all local, state, and federal disasters where a need for a deployed aerial port 

capability exists and a Contingency Response Group (CRG) is not tasked or unavailable.

ENHANCED CAPABILITY TO TRACK ASSETS ENROUTE

1. Background. The ability to facilitate a seamless flow of information across the battle space 

and interoperate with external command and control and sensor systems to track cargo in the 

enroute system is vital to an effective air transportation system. The utilization of systems such 

as the Blue Force Tracking (BFT) program would replace paper maps and voice radio 

communications with digital capabilities, thus providing Shared Situational Awareness (SSA) 

and Command and Control (C2) to the lowest tactical echelons. This capability will provide an 

interface between the terrestrial radio network system and satellite communications system to 

allow for operations over long distances or rugged terrain to share a Common Operational 

Picture (COP). The end result is a vertical and horizontal integration of the digital battle space 

and the ability to track assets at the highest levels all the way down to the tactical unit levels.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and previous domestic operations lessons learned.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Diminished Air National Guard (ANG) ability to seamlessly 

integrate response assets with Army National Guard (ARNG) response assets for increased Joint 

Task Force (JTF) situational awareness and the ability to dynamically re-task assets real-time 

based on planning objectives. 

4. Units Impacted. ANG unit assets (air and ground transportation, e.g. flatbed trailers for 

cargo movement) that do not have transponders capable of inputting location data into BFT.

5. Contractor. General Dynamics, Falls Church, VA.

6. Contingency Supported - Previous Usage. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and the Haiti 

earthquake. At all local, state, and federal disasters where a need for forward deployment of 

integrated ANG and ARNG assets.

Communications

 

Communications (ESF #2) - Communications ensure the provision of federal 

telecommunications support to federal, state, and local response efforts following a presidentially 

declared major disaster, emergency, or extraordinary situation under the National Response 

Framework (NRF). This ESF supplements the provisions of the National Plan for 

Telecommunications Support in Non-Wartime Emergencies, hereafter referred to as the National

Telecommunications Support Plan (NTSP). It includes coordination with telecommunications 

and information technology industries; restoration and repair of telecommunications 

infrastructure; protection, restoration, and sustainment of national cyber and information 

technology resources, and oversight of communications within the federal incident management 

and response structures.

A disaster condition may result from a significant natural disaster, nuclear accident, or any other 

incident that causes extensive damage and/or results in a high volume of requests from all levels 

of government authority for services to save lives and alleviate human suffering. These 

authorities require accurate and timely information on which to base decisions and guide 

response actions. Concurrently, commercial telecommunications facilities may sustain 

widespread damage. At a time when the need for real-time electronically processed information 

is greatest, the capability to acquire it may be seriously restricted or nonexistent. All surviving 

telecommunications assets of the various levels of government, augmented by extra regional 

assets, will be needed immediately to ensure a proper response to the needs of victims.

The Army National Guard and Air National Guard are able to provide significant augmentation 

through its extensive communication resources. These include communications networks and 

information services that enable joint and multinational domestic operations support and war 

fighting capabilities. Much of the communications equipment required by the States in response 

to domestic operations is to ensure situational awareness and connectivity to other responders 

within the Incident Command System (ICS).

Communications

NEXT GENERATION JOINT INCIDENT SITE 

COMMUNICATION CAPABILITY (NG-JISCC)

1. Background. NG-JISCC provides a Level I quick reaction, man-portable initial entry 

communications capability and a Level II capability for superior Command and Control (C2) of

Air National Guard (ANG) forces involving domestic security missions, disaster response, or any 

other contingency operation. The system provides voice, data, and interoperable radio 

communications between higher headquarters command centers and incident site first 

responders; is independent of local communication networks; and is compliant with National 

Incident Management System (NIMS) standards. The robust radio suite is interoperable with 

federal, state, and local military/civil emergency response agencies allowing communication 

among the full range of domestic response operations. Furthermore, the system’s ability to link 

geographically-separated communication nodes through line-of-sight networking minimizes 

bandwidth usage over satellite networks, thus preventing overall network degradation and 

improves network efficiency for high tempo operations.

2. Source of Need. Recent analysis conducted by the National Guard Bureau Joint Staff (J8) 

revealed shortfalls in the condition of ANG communications equipment used to execute quick 

reaction operations supporting catastrophic domestic emergencies. The 2012 Joint Domestic 

Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conference also identified a rapid response 

communications capability as a high priority that supports all Emergency Support Functions.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The setup time and transportation requirements of legacy JISCC assets 

impede response times and flexibility needed to support crisis situations. NG-JISCC allows 

response within 15 minutes of notification. Without the interoperable radio suite, first responders 

and other emergency personnel have little ability to coordinate efforts during crisis situations, such as 

natural disasters, law enforcement operations, or search and rescue operations. Degraded network 

systems and decreased bandwidth can be expected which may limit near real-time C2 during 

recovery efforts. 

4. Units Impacted. Completes the procurement of NG-JISCC to all 54 states and territories to 

enable Combat Communications Squadrons and communication flights to respond to 

contingencies.

5. Contractor. NAVAIR, Patuxent NAS, Lexington Park, MD.

6. Contingency Supported - Previous Usage. Lessons learned are from domestic operations 

efforts that supported emergency responses to hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ivan; and emergency 

responses to tornados throughout the Midwest and Southern regions.

Communications

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS (SATCOM) 

ON-THE-MOVE SYSTEM

1. Background. Domestic incidents requiring National Guard assistance often involve mobile 

operations in austere communications environments. A SATCOM on-the-move capability 

provides reliable and instantaneous communications when en route to or about the joint 

operations area in support of any natural disaster or Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear 

(CBRN) incident. The ability to extend command and control of National Guard (NG) forces 

and civilian agencies in and around an incident site becomes imperative to recovery efforts. 

Recovery personnel require a communications system with the ability to share and manage 

information in near-real time with all NG and National Guard Bureau (NGB) stakeholders, 

vertically (combatant command, state, incident) and horizontally (interagency). While the 

system is mobile, it must deliver instantaneous communications in and around an incident site so 

that NGB users and stakeholders will have continuous situational awareness of all NGB 

Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence (C4I) assets. At a minimum, it 

should provide voice, data, and cross-banding capability between Higher Headquarters (HHQ) 

and the incident site first responders; be independent of terrestrial infrastructure; be National 

Incident Management System (NIMS)-compliant; and be interoperable with all mission partners 

including federal, state, and local military and civil emergency response agencies supporting the 

full range of domestic response operations.

2. Source of Need. During the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) conference, SATCOM on-the-move was identified as a capability gap by all ESFs to 

enhance and support CBRN response. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this equipment significantly limits the ability to

extend and maintain command and control while advancing personnel in and around an incident 

site where operations in severely degraded environments exist. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to extend 

command and control capabilities. Equipment will be located within Combat Communications 

Squadrons and Communication Flights. 

5. Contractor. ITT Exelis, McLean, VA.

TRANSPORTATION FOR LARGE/HEAVY 

COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

1. Background. The Air National Guard (ANG) has no inherent capability to provide vehicles 

for domestic operations support specifically to transport the Joint Incident Site Communications 

Capability (JISCC). To be effective, JISCC assets require a light/medium duty Class 1/2 vehicle 

(i.e., truck) with features such as crew cab, diesel engine, four-wheel drive, dual rear wheels, 

heavy-duty tow, and suspension kits. These transport vehicles would also meet dual use 

(domestic and defense) operations requirements

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Expected incident site response time for a JISCC asset will be 

significantly increased without proper transport equipment. The JISCC asset will not have the 

ability to rapidly respond to domestic operations and will be forced to rely on limited capability

or ad hoc vehicles. This will directly impact the ability to provide the necessary robust 

communications needed during a quickly developing domestic operations mission. In addition, it 

complicates air loading because no consistent prime mover is identified with the kit. This means 

that each aircraft load could be unique and no uniform load plan can be developed.

4. Units Impacted. All current ANG units that operate and support the JISCC Level II package. 

5. Contractor. TBD.

MAN-PORTABLE INITIAL ENTRY PACKAGE

1. Background. To provide proper Command and Control (C2) of National Guard (NG) forces, 

whether presented for domestic security missions, disaster response or any other contingency, a 

quick reaction initial-entry communications capability is required. The capability must be manportable and, within the early phases of joint operations, able to provide rapid and robust nonsecure, as well as secure, voice and data communications services to all NG stakeholders, 

vertically (combatant command, state, incident) and horizontally (interagency). Current Army 

National Guard (ARNG) communications systems (e.g., Joint Network Node (JNN)) require 

multiple personnel for operations, lengthy time for system set up, and involved coordination for 

system transportation. Having a man-portable initial entry communications package will 

enhance the ability to provide mission C2 in a timely and effective manner, while minimizing 

personnel, power, and transportation resource constraints. 

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from domestic operations as well as efforts in support of 

hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ivan. Man-Portable Initial Entry Package was identified as the 

number one joint capability gap at the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and supports all of the ARNG Emergency Response Functions.

Communications

MODERNIZE CROSS-BANDING CAPABILITY 

AND CAPACITY

1. Background. When working in conjunction with civilian first responders, it is imperative 

that Army National Guard (ARNG) forces have the ability to communicate seamlessly via a 

modernized voice-interoperable communications capability with all mission partners including 

federal, state, and local military and civil emergency response agencies supporting the full range 

of domestic response operations. Over the years, various states have developed or acquired their 

disparate solutions to meet this capability gap. This capability should allow ARNG force 

communications personnel to interconnect radio devices in any radio frequency band, including 

High-Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF), P25, and 800 

trunked, as well as interconnect other voice communications, such as cellular and landline Public 

Switched Telecommunications Network (PSTN). 

2. Source of Need. When responding to a natural or man-made disaster it is imperative that the 

ARNG units on the ground have the ability to cross-band various radios (i.e., interconnecting 

disparate frequency bands) to ensure all agencies can communicate seamlessly. There will be 

ARNG forces along with other federal and state government agencies at an incident site that will 

need to communicate with each another while providing disaster relief and life-saving 

operations. Additionally, interoperable communications was identified as the number four NG 

capability gap at the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) 

Conference. A modernized voice interoperability capability would provide an important part of 

fulfilling the requirement.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this capability will negatively impact mission 

effectiveness and the ability to establish and maintain Command and Control (C2) during 

domestic operation situations with risk of harm to the public. Currently, military and civilian

agencies have limited equipment that can communicate effectively with one another. This capability 

would allow for ARNG forces to quickly integrate with first responders and other supporting 

agencies’ communications systems. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies. 

5. Contractor. TBD.

6. Contingency Supported - Previous Usage. Modernizing cross-banding capabilities provide 

voice interoperability with all mission partners including federal, state, and local military and 

civil emergency response agencies.

Communications

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS (SATCOM) ON-THE-MOVE

1. Background. The ability to extend Command and Control (C2) of National Guard (NG) 

forces and civilian agencies in and around an incident site is imperative to domestic operation 

recovery efforts. The system must provide the ability to share and manage information in near 

real-time with all NG stakeholders, vertically (combatant commands, state, incident) and 

horizontally (interagency), as well as the ability to deliver instantaneous communications in and 

around an incident site to provide continued situational awareness of all NG Command, Control, 

Communications, Computers, & Intelligence (C4I) assets among Army National Guard (ARNG) 

users and stakeholders while on the move. At a minimum, this capability should provide nonsecure, as well as secure, voice, data, and voice interoperability between the Joint Force 

Headquarters (JFHQ) and incident site first responders; independence of terrestrial infrastructure; 

National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliant; and interoperability with all mission 

partners including federal, state, and local military and civilian emergency response agencies 

supporting the full range of domestic response operations. 

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from domestic operations, efforts in support of hurricanes 

Katrina, Rita, and Ivan, as well as the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) conference have highlighted a capability gap. A high-priority (top three) capability 

gap was identified by ARNG Emergency Support Functions to enhance Chemical, Biological, 

Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) response. A standardized ARNG SATCOM on-the-move 

capability can provide reliable and instantaneous communications when supporting ARNG 

forces are en route to the Joint Operations Area (JOA) in support of any natural disaster or 

CBRN incident. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this capability significantly limits the ability to

extend and maintain C2, as well as integrate with all other responding agencies, while advancing 

ARNG forces to an incident site where operations in severely degraded environments exist. Failure 

to procure this capability also increases both vulnerability of ARNG personnel and the risk of harm 

to the public.

INTEROPERABLE LINE OF SIGHT (LOS)/BEYOND LINE OF 

SIGHT (BLOS) COMMUNICATIONS

1. Background. Robust communications are necessary to provide proper Command and 

Control (C2) of Army National Guard (ARNG) forces supporting domestic security missions, 

disaster response, or any other contingency. It is essential to link geographically-separated longhaul terrestrial communications systems in order to minimize bandwidth use and prevent overall 

systems network degradation. An interoperable LOS/BLOS capability is required to link 

disparate networks, mitigate or reduce network congestion, and preserve quality of service while 

exchanging mission-critical information. An interoperable LOS/BLOS capability will minimize 

direct satellite communications access, decrease unnecessary bandwidth usage, and increase 

overall network efficiency. ARNG forces currently have LOS/BLOS capabilities embedded 

within the Warfighter Information Network Tactical Increment 1 (WIN-T Inc 1) platform;

however, this capability only supports the Army and is restricted to the Tactical Network.

2. Source of Need. Interoperable LOS/BLOS communications was identified as the number 

four joint capability gap at the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and supports all of the ARNG Emergency Response Functions.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to provide funding for an interoperable LOS/BLOS capability 

would result in degraded network systems and decreased bandwidth limiting near real-time C2 

capability during domestic operations support efforts. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to

UNTRUSTED INTERNET TO WARFIGHTER 

INFORMATION NETWORK-TACTICAL (WIN-T)

1. Background. The current Army National Guard’s (ARNG) tactical communications 

equipment is the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical Increment 1 (WIN-T Inc 1). WIN-T 

Inc 1 is fielded to Modified Table of Organization & Equipment (MTOE) units and provides 

tactical Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and 

Reconnaissance (C4ISR) support capabilities. It is a U.S. Army communications system that 

provides secure video, data, imagery, and voice services to enable decisive combat actions. 

WIN-T Inc 1 includes the following capabilities: broadband satellite reach-back, Non-Secure 

Internet Protocol Router Network/Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPR/SIPR) 

connectivity, voice switching, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), High Capacity Line of Sight 

(LOS), and Defense Switched Network (DSN) service access. However, to provide proper 

Command and Control (C2) of ARNG forces, whether presented for domestic security missions, 

disaster response or any other contingency, a comprehensive communications capability is 

required. During particular support to domestic response incidents, ARNG personnel must be 

able to seamlessly and effectively exchange mission data with supported civilian forces, via 

civilian mission-response data portals or other information systems. 

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from domestic operations as well as efforts in support of 

hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ivan identified un-trusted commercial internet as a capability gap. 

Un-trusted commercial internet, also known as “dirty internet” was identified as the sixth major 

capability gap at the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) 

Conference and supports all of the ARNG Emergency Response Functions.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this capability could result in significantly degraded 

mission effectiveness. This capability allows ARNG forces to communicate and integrate with all 

other responding agencies utilizing the units’ organic Tactical Communication Network. Failure to 

procure increases both vulnerability of ARNG personnel and the risk of harm to the public. The lack 

of trusted Internet services for ARNG forces will negatively impact the ability to establish and 

maintain C2 during domestic operation situations. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories who fielded 

WIN-T Inc 1.

Public Works & 

Engineering 

Public Works and Engineering (ESF #3) - The Department of Defense is the primary agency 

for providing the Public Works and Engineering Emergency Support Function technical 

assistance, engineering, and construction 

management resources during response 

activities. ESF#3 provides contracting 

support for construction management, 

road clearing and airfield recovery, 

electrical power generation and 

distribution, and emergency repair of 

water treatment facilities (potable water, 

ice, and wastewater). Other contracting 

activities include providing support for 

real estate use, life-saving and lifesustaining actions, damage mitigation, 

expedient bridging, and Explosive 

Ordnance Disposal (EOD) following a 

major disaster.

In a major disaster or emergency response, operations may be beyond state and local response 

capabilities. Homes, public buildings, bridges, and other facilities may have to be reinforced or 

demolished to ensure safety, and public utilities may be partially or fully inoperable. A major 

disaster may affect the lives of many state and local response personnel and their facilities, 

preventing them from performing their 

prescribed emergency response duties. 

Similarly, emergency response equipment in 

the immediate disaster area may be damaged 

or inaccessible. Therefore, sufficient 

resources may not be available to state and 

local agencies to meet emergency response 

requirements. Federal assistance may be 

required to identify and deploy resources from 

outside the affected area to ensure a timely, 

coordinated, and effective response.

PRIME POWER TEAM

1. Background. A prime power team consists of personnel and equipment that will deploy 

during a disaster relief operation to provide stable, reliable electrical power as well as advice and 

technical assistance in all aspects of emergency electrical power, electrical distribution systems 

and restoration of the permanent power grid. The team will provide limited installation, 

operation, and maintenance of emergency power generation systems. The team will be capable 

of maintaining and increasing the emergency power over an extended period of time to civilian 

and military emergency facilities including hospitals, police stations, command centers, or Joint 

Reception Staging and Onward Integration (JRSOI) sites. The team can also provide emergency 

power support to a school or small college campus being used as an evacuation point or 

temporary shelter. One set of 108 power generators of various sizes are required at each of the 

10 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regions.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2010 Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(DOER) and 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conferences.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Adequate power would not be available to conduct effective 

recovery operations. This would lead to decreased ability to conduct recovery operations, 

hamper transport and medical treatment of casualties, resulting in loss of life and prolonged 

suffering of the affected populace.

EXPEDIENT FACILITIES

1. Background. During natural or man-made disasters there is always a need for expedient 

facilities to support contingency responses. Each of the ten Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) regions has an expedient facility capability provided by an existing Disaster 

Relief Beddown Set (DRBS). The DRBS supports 150 people and provides power generation 

and distribution, lighting, water purification, and basic latrine service. The DRBS will be used 

for sheltering responders or for providing additional key facilities needed in contingencies 

including Command and Control (C2) centers, feeding centers, medical aid, Joint Reception 

Staging and Onward Integration (JRSOI) sites or supply storage for points of distribution, in 

support of both military and civilian authorities. Facilities will also support international relief 

agencies for disasters outside the United States. A second expedient facility capability (DRBS) 

is required in each of the 10 FEMA regions.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2010 Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(DOER) and 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conferences.

ROAD CLEARANCE/AIRFIELD RECOVERY (HEAVY)

1. Background. During most natural disasters, there is a significant requirement to clear roads 

and airfields of debris. Roads and airfields must be rapidly cleared in order to facilitate the 

emergency response and recovery process, and allow additional resources to flow to the affected 

areas. Heavy equipment such as bulldozers, front-end loaders, dump trucks, and cranes must be 

available to ensure rapid clearing of critical access roads and airfields. This heavy capability 

compliments the previously procured light airfield and route clearance equipment which include 

chain saws, chop saws, hand tools, personnel protective equipment, rope ladders, and other light 

clearance equipment. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2010 Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(DOER) and 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conferences.

3. Impact If Not Funded. If access roads are blocked or airfields are unsafe to support airlift, 

the overall response will be severely hindered. Relief personnel and the emergency services they 

provide will be severely delayed. Equipment and supplies will be unable to reach the areas 

affected by a disaster. Blocked roads and airfields will greatly slow the progress of relief 

operations. The ability of the responders to render medical aid, and deliver supplies, food, and 

water will be reduced and delayed, which will lead to increased suffering and loss of life.

POTABLE WATER 

PRODUCTION, STORAGE, AND DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT

1. Background. There is a significant demand for potable water from expedient sources during 

most natural disasters. A Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU) provides an 

expedient water purification and desalination processing capability, yielding 1,500 gallons of 

potable water per hour. Large storage bladders are needed to store the potable water from the 

ROWPU. A distribution capability including water trailers and 5-gallon water jugs are also 

needed to efficiently supply and distribute the water. Each ROWPU also needs consumable 

filters, chemicals, and other supplies to support sustained operations. Several units have training 

ROWPUs and just need the consumable supplies to make them fully operational. The ROWPU 

can be connected to a water treatment plant for city use during a power outage. This requirement 

will provide capability in each Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) region. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2010 Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(DOER) and 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conferences.

EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL (EOD) EQUIPMENT

1. Background. There are 17 Air National Guard EOD units throughout the United States with 

limited equipment for training and response. The EOD units have been recently equipped with 

Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE), self-contained breathing apparatuses, 

radio/communication packages, night vision goggles, and demolition/detection packages. EOD 

units still lack a Bomb Squad Emergency Response Vehicle (BSERV) and a Total Containment 

Vessel (TCV). Without a BSERV, EOD units are required to improvise transportation solutions, 

and have to choose which pieces of their EOD equipment to leave behind. The TCV provides a 

safe way to contain, transport, and ultimately dispose of a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, 

Radiological, Nuclear) device. Without a TCV, EOD units lack the critical capability to handle 

and transport these hazardous devices. The lack of a BSERV and TCV reduce the effectiveness 

of EOD units and their response will be limited. The requirement provides effective response to 

situations requiring EOD capability and the ability to respond to hazardous CBRN incidents 

throughout the United States.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Not providing the BSERV and TCV will prevent the EOD units

ROAD CLEARANCE AND DEBRIS REMOVAL

HEAVY EQUIPMENT

1. Background. During most natural disasters, there is a significant requirement to clear roads 

and other access areas of debris and/or snow in order to allow emergency services and relief 

personnel to access the affected area. In addition, the expeditious clearing of roads will speed up 

the recovery process and start to return conditions to normal. There are seven main pieces of 

heavy construction equipment. These seven pieces consist of the Scoop Loader, High Mobility 

Engineer Excavator (HMEE), Back Hoe Loader (BHL), Hydraulic Excavator (HYEX), 

Bulldozers, Skid Steer Loader, and Family of All Terrain Cranes (FOATC). All of these pieces 

of equipment are managed by HQDA G8 and are authorized by HQDA G3. Within the Army 

National Guard (ARNG) the systems are utilized by the 45 Horizontal Companies, 23 Engineer 

Support Companies, 12 Multi-Role Bridge Companies, as well as many lower density 

detachments and teams. The ARNG companies, detachments, and teams are used to clear roads, 

freeways and other areas of debris and/or snow in the event of a disaster and would allow 

emergency personnel the ability to respond to support national and local emergencies with the 

proper equipment.

Firefighting

Firefighting (ESF #4) - Firefighting detects and suppresses woodland, rural, and urban fires 

resulting from, or occurring coincidentally with a major disaster or emergency requiring federal 

response assistance. ESF #4 manages and coordinates firefighting activities including the

detection and suppression of fires on federal lands and provides personnel, equipment, and 

supplies in support of state and local agencies involved in rural and urban firefighting operations. 

The management of a large firefighting operation 

is complex, often involving thousands of 

personnel and resources from many different 

agencies and jurisdictions. Fires resulting from, or 

occurring coincidentally with a major disaster or 

emergency may place extraordinary demands on 

available resources and logistics support systems. 

A major disaster or emergency may cause a large 

number of urban, rural, and woodland fires. The 

damage potential from fires in urban areas during 

and after a major disaster (such as an earthquake) exceeds that of all other causes. Numerous 

fires may have the potential to spread rapidly, cause extensive damage, and pose a serious threat 

to life and property. Urban fire departments not incapacitated by an earthquake may be totally 

committed to fires in urban areas. Normally available firefighting resources may be difficult to 

obtain and use because of massive disruption of communication, transportation, utility, and water 

systems. Agencies will exceed capabilities during a catastrophic event requiring resources from 

outside departments. 

Air National Guard Fire Emergency Services team is capable of augmenting local firefighting 

resources. The team consists of management, emergency incident commanders, and fire fighters. 

These teams provide: fire protection to mitigate the damage from fire (structural and aircraft) 

that would seriously degrade mission capability, technical rescue to save lives involving 

confined space, high and low angle, motor vehicle, machinery/equipment, aircraft, and trench 

rescue situations, as well as hazardous materials response including Weapons of Mass 

Destruction (WMD) and Chemical, Biological, 

Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) events. The Fire Chief 

and Deputy Fire Chief provide fire protection 

management of a fire department and provide senior 

leadership advice on vital information for minimizing 

loss of life and property damage. The Assistant Fire 

Chief provides fire fighter supervision and emergency 

incident scene management and can be expanded to 

provide fire department training and fire prevention 

support to include facility inspections, reviews of plans, and fire prevention education. Finally, 

fire crews are available to man the apparatus and provide the firefighting, rescue, and hazardous 

material response.

INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

1. Background. Communication issues have been identified as key problems on incidents since 

September 11, 2001. The Air National Guard (ANG) requires the ability to communicate with 

any agency responding in support of the Incident Command System (ICS). This includes 

operations at a remote air head as well as day-to-day operations with mutual aid partners. The 

communication system identified during this process include portable and mobile radios that are 

field programmable, mobile, or vehicle mounted repeaters, as well as internet connectivity from 

austere sites.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and lessons learned from hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding interoperable communication systems 

will result in degraded communications in the next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or 

other disaster in the United States. These systems will provide a valuable service to local 

communities, governors, and the Department of Defense for the purpose of saving lives.

STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTING VEHICLES

1. Background. The structural firefighting vehicle is needed for operational support of Defense 

Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA). Disasters such as hurricane Katrina, the Haiti earthquake, 

and others have shown a need for support to civilian agencies as resources are rapidly expended. 

The Air National Guard (ANG) has the ability to deliver these assets in a timely manner within 

the hours needed to save lives. Firefighting capability will be increased with the procurement 

and posturing of structural firefighting apparatus at ANG locations that are available to support 

domestic operations and support Mutual Aid Agreement day to day operations.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake lessons learned.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding structural firefighting vehicles could 

result in potential loss of life in the next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or other disaster 

in the United States. These assets will provide valuable life-saving resources to local 

communities, governors, and the Department of Defense for the purpose of saving lives.

4. Units Impacted. All ANG Fire Emergency Service Flights.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) FOR 

STRUCTURAL FIRE FIGHTING

1. Background. Air National Guard (ANG) Fire Emergency Services primary mission is 

Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARRF) on airfields and in proximity of the installation. The PPE 

used is not compatible with civilian fire departments. Structural PPE would provide ANG 

firefighters the needed protection to support domestic operations in the event of natural or manmade disasters. The requirement procures structural PPE for all ANG firefighters in support of 

Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS) to fill 

capability shortfalls in response to National Response Framework (NRF) threats and scenarios.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. The need for structural PPE is critical to the appropriate level of 

support in several areas. This level of protection would allow ANG firefighters to staff structural 

fire fighting vehicles in support of DSCA and NGCS. These assets will provide a valuable 

resource to local communities, governors, and the Department of Defense for the purpose of 

saving lives. 

4. Units Impacted. 34 locations for traditional fire fighters and 59 locations for Master 

Cooperative Agreement (MCA) fire fighters in ANG Fire Emergency Service Flights.

AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIRE FIGHTING (ARFF) VEHICLES

1. Background. The Air National Guard (ANG) lacks adequate numbers of ARFF vehicles to 

support Forward Operating Locations (FOL) in the event of a natural or man-made disaster when 

a logistical staging area is required. The use of existing vehicles reduces the level of fire 

protection at ANG locations with a potential negative impact on mission requirements. 

Firefighting capability would be increased by posturing ARFF vehicles to support the potential 

logistical staging areas for Air Bridge fire protection support. This equipment fills the capability 

gaps in response to all National Response Framework (NRF) threats and scenarios.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding ARFF vehicles will result in potential loss 

of life in the next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or other disaster in the United States. If 

this initiative is not funded it would delay appropriate fire protection and negatively affect the 

logistical staging process. These assets will provide valuable resources to local communities, 

governors, and the Department of Defense for the purpose of saving lives. 

4. Units Impacted. All ANG Fire Departments.

RESPONSE KITS (MEDICAL KITS, INCIDENT 

MANAGEMENT KITS, WIDE AREA SEARCH KITS)

1. Background. Lessons learned from hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake have driven 

home the need to bring everything that will be needed when deploying forward into an area that 

has been hit by a major disaster. Responders cannot rely on finding needed items in a disaster 

zone, requiring them to report to a fire department, hospital, etc., instead of directly to the event 

site, wasting valuable time. Packaged response kits that are set up and ready to go at all times 

will help alleviate some of these needs. Medical kits will allow responders to work on patients 

as well as themselves when working in very austere conditions, Incident Management Kits that 

contain Incident Command System (ICS) tools and forms, and Wide Area Search Kits that 

contain tools and forms are needed to perform what can be a vital lifesaving mission in a disaster 

zone. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake lessons learned.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding these response kits could result in the 

potential of responding personnel not having everything they need to effectively perform their 

missions in the next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or other disaster in the United States. 

These assets will provide valuable, life-saving resources to local communities, governors, and 

the Department of Defense for the purpose of saving lives.

4. Units Impacted. All 64 Air National Guard (ANG) Fire Emergency Service Flights.

Emergency 

Management

Emergency Management (ESF #5) - Emergency Management is responsible for supporting 

overall activities of the Federal Government for domestic incident management. ESF #5 

provides the core management and administrative functions in support of FEMA’s National 

Response Coordination Center (NRCC), Regional Response Coordination Center (RRCC), and 

Joint Field Office (JFO) operations.

ESF #5 serves as the support ESF for all federal 

departments and agencies across the spectrum of 

domestic incident management from prevention to 

response and recovery and facilitates information 

flow in the pre-incident prevention phase in order to 

place assets on alert or pre-position for quick 

response. During the post-incident response phase, 

ESF #5 transitions and is responsible for support and 

planning functions. ESF #5 activities include those 

functions that are critical to support and facilitate multiagency planning and coordination for 

operations involving potential and actual incidents of national significance. This includes alert 

and notification, deployment and staffing of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 

emergency response teams, incident action planning, coordination of operations, logistics and 

materials, direction and control, information management, facilitation of requests for federal 

assistance, resource acquisition and management (to include allocation and tracking), worker 

safety and health, facilities management, financial management, and other support as required.

The National Guard brings with it a natural organizational hierarchy which translates effectively 

and efficiently into the National Incident Management System (NIMS) organization. The 

combination of these categories of command, control, and communications produces the 

capabilities required to 

maximize the Common 

Operating Picture (COP) 

within local communities, 

states and to all appropriate 

ESF agencies. The 

equipment allowing 

maximum COP (e.g., 

Mobile Emergency 

Operations Centers

(MEOC), Liaison Officer 

Tool Kits, All-Source COP) also provides connectivity between the Incident Command System 

(ICS), which commands disaster operations in local communities, the National Guard and other 

federal agencies as required.

Emergency Management

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 

AGENCY (FEMA) TYPE II MOBILE EMERGENCY 

OPERATIONS CENTERS (MEOC)

1. Background. The Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 5 mandates directing 

military, state, and federal government response agencies to meet communications 

interoperability requirements. Published guidance mandates that commanders will provide 

Command and Control (C2) capabilities to support a Common Operating Picture (COP) to aid in 

accountability and decision support to fulfill Air Force Incident Management System (AFIMS) 

requirements. Currently Air National Guard (ANG) Emergency Management possesses limited 

capability to provide agile C2 or interoperability to responders. Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) Type II requirements provide compatible full spectrum of voice, 

data, and imaging in support of surrounding local authorities’ emergency responder capabilities.

2. Source of Need. ANG Emergency Management Flights require full FEMA Type II 

compliant MEOC to support Domestic Operations.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Current capability limitations could create life safety issues for ANG 

personnel, local responders, and affected populations. ANG enterprise would be in abeyance of 

Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) 5/8.

4. Units Impacted. All FEMA regions possessing tasked units are impacted. Eight units have

Emergency Management

LIAISON COMMAND AND CONTROL (C2) KIT

1. Background. During the recent 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference, the emergency management breakout session highlighted a common need 

for interoperable, portable, and agile C2 including the following capabilities: ruggedized 

computer, printer, copier, scanner, air card, International Maritime Satellite Organization

(INMARSAT) Satellite Communication (SATCOM) access, webcam, digital video, and an 

interoperability module. This system will provide agile support to Incident Commanders, 

Liaison Officers, Field Responders, and those requiring situational awareness. Current 

equipment does not support joint or interagency operations.

2. Source of Need. Liaison C2 Kits are required for each 4F9WM Designed Operating 

Capability (DOC) tasked Air National Guard (ANG) units.

3. Impact If Not Funded. If Liaison C2 Kits are not funded, there will be a lack of situational

awareness and Command and Control for the event. Additionally, ANG Emergency 

Management enterprise responses will not be in abeyance of Homeland Security Presidential 

Directives (HSPD) 5/8.

CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL 

AND NUCLEAR (CBRN) AGENT DETECTION AND 

DECONTAMINATION

1. Background. Enhancing the ability of Air National Guard (ANG) Emergency Management 

(EM) CBRN response teams requires the procurement and standardization of a robust field ready 

CBRN agent detection capability. The currently fielded equipment only provides presumptive 

results requiring additional testing and confirmation. Additionally, the aging equipment is 

unreliable. During CBRN response operations involving any hazardous materials incident, 

results for determination of results and actions are delayed due to inability of ANG EM 

personnel to quickly confirm presence of CBRN agents. One of the key components to any 

CBRN response is the decontamination of personnel and equipment. Currently, ANG EM 

personnel lack most of this capability and rely on others to provide decontamination.

2. Source of Need. Advanced CBRN detection and decontamination capability needed/required 

for each Designed Operational Capability (DOC) tasked Unit Type Code (UTC).

3. Impact If Not Funded. Current technology limitations could create life safety issues for 

ANG personnel.

4. Units Impacted. All 67 UTC DOC tasked units are impacted.

COMMON OPERATING PICTURE (COP)

1. Background. Enhancing combat and domestic operations capability of National Guard (NG) 

Command and Control (C2) requires integration of multiple data systems. The Common 

Operating Picture (COP) must be able to fuse data across the ground, air, and sea domains 

incorporating Geospatial Information System (GIS), C2, and plume modeling. This capability 

provides state and unit leadership immediate access to their status of forces and the ability to 

quickly assess critical information resulting in timely dissemination to mission partners and 

effective employment of forces for domestic operations. State and unit leadership must be able 

to develop and maintain overall awareness and understanding of an incident across jurisdictions 

while preparing for potential requirements and requests for additional support. They must 

possess the ability to formulate, execute, and communicate operations decisions at an incident 

site, as well as between incident management entities across the jurisdiction and functional 

agencies. 

2. Source of Need. 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) 

Conference highlighted the need for a COP suite for each state’s and territory’s Joint Operations 

Center, Air National Guard (ANG) flying Wing, Western and Eastern Air Defense Sectors 

(WADS and EADS), and the 601st Air Operations Center (AOC).

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to develop and field COP suite will deny state and 

installation leadership teams the ability to maintain and disseminate time critical incident 

situational awareness to fully integrate with mission partners.

4. Units Impacted. All ANG Wings, state JOCs, WADS, EADS and 601st AOC will be 

impacted.

MOBILE, EXPANDABLE, SUSTAINABLE, INTEROPERABLE 

COMMAND AND CONTROL (C2) CAPABILITY

1. Background. A Level 2 Command and Control (C2) communications capability (as defined 

by USNORTHCOM Joint Pub 6-02 Deployable Communications Standards) is necessary to 

enable mobile, scalable, sustainable, and interoperable communications services. This capability 

is required to connect all National Guard (NG) stakeholders, vertically (Combatant Command, 

state, incident) and horizontally (interagency). The mobile, expandable, sustainable, and 

interoperable communications capability provides a mission C2 capability that the Army 

National Guard (ARNG) does not currently possess. It will allow USNORTHCOM mobility 

while at the same time being able to conduct C2 activities more effectively. 

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from domestic operations as well as efforts in support of 

hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ivan identified a need for a mobile expandable, sustainable, 

interoperable C2 capability. This capability was identified as the number one joint capability 

gap at the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conference and 

supports all of the ANRG Emergency Response Functions.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this capability will degrade mission effectiveness. 

This capability provides for mobile C2 for ARNG forces and key stakeholders the incident site. 

Current Level 1 packages provide small-scale and limited mobile and interoperable options that 

ensure initial response communications.

4. Units Impacted. All Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regions possessing 

tasked units are impacted. Eight units have been procured as of late 2011. Larger regions will 

receive two units to cover area.

5. Contractor. North American Catastrophe Services (NACS), Melbourne, FL.

LIMITED SCALE, IMMEDIATELY DEPLOYABLE 

COMMUNICATIONS

1. Background. A portable, limited scale, and immediately deployable communications 

capability is necessary to support initial response during joint operations. This capability must 

be able to provide robust voice and data communications capabilities to all National Guard (NG) 

stakeholders, vertically (Combatant Command, state, incident) and horizontally (interagency). 

The development of a limited scale, immediately deployable communications capability will

provide a mission control capability that the Army National Guard (ARNG) does not currently 

have to support domestic response operations more effectively.

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from domestic operations as well as efforts in support of 

hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ivan have shown limited scale, immediately deployable 

communications as a capability gap. It was identified as the number two joint capability gap at 

the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conference and 

supports all of the ARNG Emergency Response Functions.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this capability will degrade mission effectiveness. 

This capability will allow ARNG forces to rapidly deploy and set up communications equipment that 

will improve communications from the incident site to key stakeholders. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies. Equipment will be located at Combat Communications Squadrons.

SHARED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS (SSA) RESOURCES

1. Background. Maintaining situational awareness during domestic security missions, disaster 

responses or other contingencies is vital. This responsibility primarily resides with state and 

local governments and their emergency management and first responder resources for 

coordinating emergency response and recovery. A shared Common Operating Picture (COP) 

and situational awareness solution do not exist and present significant capability gaps. Tactical 

systems such as Blue Force Tracker (BFT) and Movement Tracker System (MTS) are being 

evaluated as possible candidates that can be enhanced to fulfill this capability gap. These tools 

will increase situational awareness and safety, and can provide a COP for personnel that are 

supporting emergency response operations. 

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from domestic operations as well as efforts in support of 

hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ivan have shown a capability gap in shared situational awareness. 

The lack of shared situational awareness was included in the top three joint capability gaps 

identified at the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conference 

and support all of the Army National Guard (ANRG) Emergency Response Functions.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this capability will degrade mission effectiveness. 

This capability allows ARNG forces to be aware of other supporting agency forces within the 

supported incident area.

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls in SSA impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to 

respond to contingencies. Equipment will be located at Combat Communications Squadrons.

Mass Care, Emergency 

Assistance, Housing, & 

Human Services

Emergency Support Function #6 TAB 

F

Mass Care, Emergency Assistance, Housing, and Human Services (ESF #6) – Mass Care, 

Emergency Assistance, Housing, and Human Services coordinates federal assistance in support 

of state and local efforts to meet the mass care needs of victims of a disaster. This federal 

assistance will support the delivery of mass care 

services of shelter, feeding, and emergency first aid to 

disaster victims; and the establishment of systems to 

provide bulk distribution of emergency relief supplies 

to disaster victims. The system will also need to 

operate a personnel check-in and status reporting 

system to coordinate rescuer response, report on 

victim status, and assist in family reunification. 

The magnitude of damage to structures and lifelines 

will rapidly overwhelm the capacity of state and local 

governments to assess the disaster and respond effectively to basic and emergency human needs. 

Damage to roads, airports, and communications 

systems will hamper emergency response efforts. The 

damaged infrastructure will also seriously impede the 

movement of emergency supplies. Many professional 

emergency workers and others who normally would 

help during a disaster will be dead, injured, involved 

with family issues resulting from the disaster, or 

unable to reach their assigned posts. State, county, and 

municipal emergency facilities will be severely 

damaged or inaccessible. Depending on factors such 

as time of occurrence, area demographics, building construction, and existing weather 

conditions, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims could be forced from their homes. The 

resulting large number of casualties could leave a large population with virtually no support. 

National Guard resources can quickly mobilize 

and coordinate the delivery of federal mass care, 

emergency assistance, housing, and human 

services when local, tribal, and state response 

and recovery needs exceed their capabilities. In 

order to achieve an effective response to a mass 

care situation, the National Guard requires 

additional materials, processes, and training.

DISASTER RELIEF MOBILE KITCHEN TRAILER (DRMKT)

1. Background. The DRMKT is a versatile platform that provides rapid response mass fielding 

to a planned incident or disaster. Recent incidents have shown a need for support to response 

forces and displaced civilian agencies as food is a basic necessity of sustainment. The Air 

National Guard (ANG) has the ability to deliver these assets in a timely manner within the hours 

needed to sustain life and provide mass care. Mass field feeding capability will increase with the 

procurement and posturing of DRMKTs throughout each of the Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) regions. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2010 Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(DOER) and 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOER) Conferences. 

Lessons learned from hurricane Katrina, Haiti earthquake, and the 2008 Presidential 

Inauguration.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Not funding the DRMKT will result in potential loss of life in the 

next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or other disaster in the United States. These assets 

will provide valuable life-saving resources to local communities, states, and the Department of 

Defense for the purpose of life sustainment.

4. Units Impacted. Specific basing for the remaining six units is still being determined, but 

there will be one postured in each FEMA Region and two in the Northeast.

MODIFIED DISASTER RELIEF BEDDOWN SETS (DRBS)

1. Background. Natural or man-made disasters require expedient facilities to support 

contingency responses. Each of the 10 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 

regions has an expedient facility capability provided by an existing DRBS. The DRBS supports 

1,000 people and provides power generation and distribution, lighting, water purification, field 

feeding, and basic latrine service. The DRBS will be used for sheltering responders and/or 

displaced civilians providing additional support needed in contingencies including Command 

and Control (C2) centers, feeding centers, medical aid, Joint Reception, Staging, and Onward 

Integration (JRSOI) sites, or supply storage for points of distribution in support of both military 

and civilian authorities. There is also a need for scaled down sets which will temporily shelter 

and beddown mass displaced individuals or additional follow on forces. These scaled down sets 

would contain basic life sustainment essentials such as shelters, cots, recreation equipment, fresh 

ration preparation equipment, etc. Facilities will also be leveraged to support international relief 

agencies for disasters outside the United States. A second modified DRBS is required in each of 

the 10 FEMA regions.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Adequate capability will not be available to conduct effective 

recovery operations. This will lead to decreased ability to conduct recovery operations, hamper 

transport and medical treatment of causalities, resulting in potential loss of life and prolonged 

suffering of the affected populace.

FATALITY SEARCH AND RECOVERY 

TEAMS (FSRT)/PUSH PACKAGES

1. Background. FSRTs have been funded with basic recovery equipment to support fatality 

management in a mass casualty event for five days. Additional recovery equipment is needed in the 

form of an operational push packages to bridge the immediate gap until commercial contracts are 

available. FSRTs have the ability to train essential augmentees to act as a force multiplier during 

recovery operations. Additional packages of critical equipment will be needed for augmentees 

assisting the FSRTs in recovery operations. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and hurricane Katrina, Haiti earthquake, and Japan tsunami recovery 

lessons learned.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Dignified and technically executed Search and Recovery (SAR) has 

profound and long lasting effects on the mental health of both responders and survivors. The 

recovery of remains so they may be identified and returned to their families is paramount. If 

operations are delayed due to a lack of on hand equipment, early opportunities to identify 

remains may be severely hindered as the remains decompose. The impact of not funding FSRT’s 

push packages will severely impact proper respect, dignity, and identification of remains for the 

stricken families and communities. 

4. Units Impacted. Consequence Management, Inc., Winchester, KY.

PEOPLE TRACKING SYSTEM FOR CIVILIANS 

AND RESPONDERS 

1. Background. The current Army National Guard (ARNG) medical communications system is 

Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4). The MC4 system is used by 

medical personnel to read and record medical information of soldiers receiving medical care. 

Although MC4 creates an electronic medical record for service members, it lacks the capability 

to track civilian medical care, discharged, and/or deceased patients. The Air National Guard 

(ANG) uses the Emergency Tracking Accountability System (ETAS) which is designed to track 

evacuees. There is a capability gap with ETAS, as it lacks the interoperability with civilian 

systems of record. A joint system is needed to track personnel who enter and leave a hazardous 

area or shelter, or to track a casualty in mortuary affairs units. Children with no surviving 

parents may receive care while relatives or loved ones are being located. The ability to provide 

real-time personnel data to responders is vital to effective emergency operations and the 

ARNG’s/ANG’s ability to assist in operations.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The lack of a people tracking system for civilians and responders 

will result in the lack of critical real-time information being available to relief organizations 

during the next disaster scenario. 

4. Units Impacted. All 27 states that have Homeland Response Force (HRF), Chemical, 

Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFP) 

capability.

ADDITIONAL MATERIEL HANDLING EQUIPMENT

1. Background. The Light Capability Rough Terrain Forklift (LCRTF) 5K fulfills the 4K 

forklift requirement while increasing its capability. It is capable of loading and unloading 

equipment in shipping containers and is C-130/CH-47 transportable. With its enclosed air 

conditioned cab, moveable tines, Tier III engine, and improved helicopter lift, the LCRTF is a 

significant improvement over the existing 4K forklift.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference. 

3. Impact if Not Funded. States will have a diminished capability to provide required materiel 

handling capability in response to disasters. 

 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies.

MECHANICAL SAND BAG EQUIPMENT

1. Background. During most natural disasters involving either large amounts of snow or heavy 

rains, there is a significant requirement to reinforce river banks or build protection barriers 

around property. This is often accomplished through the emplacement of sand bags. Sand bags 

are constructed of a durable bag filled with material that is both dense and easy to transfer from 

material pile to sand bag. Sand bags can be filled either mechanically or by hand, or a mixture of 

the two. Each state currently has a minimum of one mechanical sandbagging machine; however, 

one machine is not sufficient to mitigate rising flood waters to protect personal property damage 

and conduct evacuations. The suggested material solution is to purchase an additional 

Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) item similar to the units currently possessed by the states. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The lack of mechanical sand bag equipment will decrease response 

time of emergency response personnel at disaster sites due to increased time to fill multiple sand 

bags by hand and result in increased water damage to personal property and infrastructure.

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies.

PEOPLE TRACKING SYSTEM FOR CIVILIANS 

AND RESPONDERS 

1. Background. The current Army National Guard (ARNG) medical communications system is 

Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4). The MC4 system is composed of 

seven Army-approved line items of Medical Communications tools used by medical personnel to 

read and record medical information of soldiers receiving medical care. This equipment allows 

medical personnel access to the personal medical baseline information of patients in their care. 

Although MC4 creates an electronic medical record for service members it lacks the capability to 

track civilian medical care, discharged, and/or deceased patients. In terms of mass care and 

logistics, the ARNG does not have a people tracking system with the ability to track personnel 

who enter and leave a hazardous area or are admitted to a shelter, or to track a casualty in the 

mortuary affairs units. Children may be cared for with no surviving parents and visibility is 

needed for relatives or searching for loved ones. The MC4 system also lacks the ability to 

communicate with the Air National Guard (ANG) Joint Reception, Staging, and Onward 

Integration (JRSOI), fire and rescue, and other civilian agency systems. Possessing a people 

tracking system for personnel and responders would provide real-time awareness of the locations 

of persons of interest to the ARNG, government, and American public. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The lack of a people tracking system for civilians and responders 

will result in the lack of critical real-time information being available to relief organizations

REGIONAL WAREHOUSE FACILITES FOR FORWARD 

STORAGE, SUPPLIES 

1. Background. During the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference, a capability gap was identified for a facility within the 10 Federal 

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regions to act as a forward storage area for aid and 

relief supplies during domestic aid missions. Currently, the Army National Guard (ARNG) 

provides force packages that are composed of equipment, vehicles, and personnel as a part of the 

State Active Duty mission for disaster and emergency response. The M129 30 foot semitrailer 

supply van, LIN S75175, can be added to these force packages to deploy as mobile forward 

supply points for positioning at FEMA relief and aid areas where no regional warehouse 

facilities exist. The M129 supply van allows for the prepositioning storage of palletized 

nonperishable items. The M129 supply van is also wired to receive electricity inside the box of 

the trailer, is insulated against heat and cold, and can also be used to operate a remote office 

facility. Each trailer requires an M1088 tractor to pull it. A pallet jack is required to move 

pallets from the front to the rear of the trailer for on and off loading by Material Handling 

Equipment (MHE). The ARNG currently has 390 M129 box trailers on hand, with an FY13 

requirement for 667 trailers. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. The response time to an emergency will be negatively impacted due 

to supply items needing to be transported from greater distances than if they had been effectively 

stored in mobile pre-positioned assets. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies.

TYVEK SUITS, GLOVES, AND MASKS TO SUPPORT 

RESPONDERS IN A MASS CASUALTY SITUATION

1. Background. The Army and Air National Guard on behalf of Department of Defense plans 

to establish a total of 10 Homeland Response Force (HRF) units nationwide, with one HRF in

each of the 10 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regions. The first two HRFs 

(Ohio and Washington) are in place with the remaining eight HRFs (Massachusetts, New York, 

Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Utah, and California) expected to be in place no later 

than FY12. HRFs will self-deploy by ground within 6 to 12 hours of an event, delivering lifesaving medical, search and extraction, decontamination, security, and Command and Control 

(C2) capabilities. This represents a dramatic improvement in response time and life-saving 

capability to the previous construct. HRFs will provide a regional response capability of 

approximately 570 personnel composed of Chemical, Biological, Radiological (CBRN) 

Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFP) teams. The CERFP capabilities include: locate 

and extract victims from a contaminated environment, perform mass patient/casualty 

decontamination, and provide medical treatment as necessary to stabilize patients for evacuation. 

CERFP’s teams will be composed of existing National Guard units trained to respond to a CBRN 

weapon. Currently only members of the HRF and CERFP teams (Soldiers and Airmen) will be

issued Tyvek suits, gloves, and masks to support responders in a mass casualty situation. It 

wears out quickly and the units do not have on-hand resupply available. Additionally, it is 

required for responders and augmentees who are assisting causalities in a contained area. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding additional Tyvek suits, gloves, masks, and 

additional resupply protective clothing would mean that ARNG could be unable to provide lifesaving capability to support responders in a mass casualty situation. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies.

5. Contractor. Multiple available.

6. Contingency Supported - Previous Usage. At all local, state, and federal disasters where a

Public Health, Medical, Mental Health Services, and Mass Fatality Management (ESF #8) -

Public Health, Medical, Mental Health 

Services, and Mass Fatality Management 

provides coordinated federal assistance to 

supplement state and local resources in 

response to public health and medical care 

needs following a major disaster, emergency,

or a developing potential medical situation. 

Assistance provided under ESF #8 is directed 

by the Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) through its executive agent 

the Assistant Secretary for Public Health 

Emergency Preparedness (ASPHEP). 

A significant natural disaster or man-made event that overwhelms the affected state may 

necessitate federal public health and/or medical care assistance. Healthcare facilities may be 

severely damaged or destroyed. Facilities that survive with little or no structural damage may be 

rendered unusable or only partially usable due to a lack of power, water, sewer, etc. Medical 

facility staff might be unable to report for duty as a result of personal injuries and/or damage to 

infrastructure. Medical and healthcare facilities that remain in operation and have the necessary 

utilities and staff will probably be overwhelmed by the “walking wounded” and seriously injured 

victims in the immediate aftermath of the occurrence. In the face of massive increases in 

demand, medical supplies (including pharmaceuticals) and equipment will likely be in short 

supply with disruptions to the normal resupply process.

ESF #8 services include the management of health resources such as: manpower and facilities, 

preventive and curative health measures, evacuation of the wounded or sick, selection of the 

medically fit and disposition of the medically unfit, blood management, medical supply, 

equipment and maintenance, stress control, and medical, dental, veterinary, laboratory, 

optometric, nutrition therapy, and medical intelligence services. Attributes include Civilian 

Emergency Medical System (CEMS) support, Crisis Intervention Stress Management (CISM) in 

coordination with Religious Support Teams, Public Health System support in the distribution and 

administration of vaccines and antidotes to the public, State Emergency Medical Response Plan 

implementation assistance; critical force health protection and mortuary support.

The Air National Guard and the Army National Guard Medical Services may be called to 

support medical emergencies independently or cooperatively depending on the magnitude of the 

emergency and the specific capabilities that are needed. Additionally, the National Guard (Army 

and Air) medical service is developing at the city, county, and state levels, cooperative efforts of 

medical response and support with local emergency medical management organizations.

1. Background. There are three Consolidated Storage and Deployment Centers (CSDC) that 

require six pre-positioned medical resupply sets to rapidly deploy in support of the17 National 

Guard (NG) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Enhanced Response Force 

Package (CERFP) teams and 10 Homeland Response Force (HRF) teams to maintain mission 

capability. Additionally, one modified Expeditionary Medical Support training set is required at 

the Air National Guard (ANG) medical school house to train the CERFP/HRF teams. Seventeen 

CERFP/HRF medical unit’s patient care training simulators also need to be upgraded for medical 

providers to sustain proficiency in trauma care. The Chief, National Guard Bureau selected 

Expeditionary Medical Support (EMEDS) as the Medical Element in support of Homeland 

Defense. The Secretary of Defense supports the National Guard Bureau homeland security 

posturing for the NG CERFP/HRF.

1. Background. There is a public expectation that local, state, and federal authorities will 

respond with haste and efficiency to provide medical care during domestic contingencies. Air 

National Guard (ANG) Medical Groups (MDG) are postured to provide short notice, effective 

response to a broad spectrum of disaster scenarios. Most MDGs do not possess medical supplies 

necessary to respond to no-notice events as a self-sufficient, scalable, and flexible force package 

in support of civil authorities. A capability based on 25 backpacks of basic, shelf-stable medical 

supplies per unit expands MDG capabilities to be self-sufficient with shelter and water for three 

days to provide immediate triage and lifesaving medical care. The backpack footprint allows 

MDGs to be relevant as a medical rapid response force package. Additionally, medical 

personnel assigned to the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Enhanced 

Response Force Package (CERFP) teams and 10 Homeland Response Forces (HRF) teams 

mission lack protective clothing to operate in all regions during all seasons. Providing all 

weather clothing to assigned personnel will prevent responders from becoming casualties due to 

environmental exposure. A single deployable structure is required to shelter CERFP/HRF 

medical teams and equipment in order to allow decontamination capability in extreme cold 

weather to prevent hypothermia.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference. Lessons learned from major mass casualty incidents such as the Haiti 

earthquake. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. A valuable core capability of ANG MDGs would not be available to 

save the lives and mitigate suffering of disaster victims.

MEDICAL COMMAND AND CONTROL (MC2) 

ELECTRONIC DATA CAPABILITY SUPPORTING DOMESTIC 

MASS CASUALTY EVENTS

1. Background. Medical responders need a robust MC2 platform to keep pace with managing 

large scale disasters where multiple casualties must be evaluated, treated, transported, and 

information processed to ensure proper coordination, communication, and synchronization of 

local, regional, and national level disaster management efforts. MC2 will provide a Common 

Operating Picture (COP) for medical planning and response. Electronic communications must 

be encrypted and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. MC2 

must be accessible with appropriate read/write privileges for those who need it. Additionally, it 

must have the ability to document medical care, print results/reports, and provide an intuitive 

user interface which requires minimal training to use. For interoperability, the MC2 platform 

must be able to create information in an Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) format to 

share information with other systems such as the Joint Patient Assessment and Tracking System 

(JPATS). MC2 should have the ability to review medical data and metrics in a real time, webbased, and Geographic Information System (GIS)-enabled environment. MC2 should provide 

timely and accurate information on the location, movement, status, and identity of equipment, 

supplies, and personnel. On-scene handheld devices should be able to capture multimedia data 

such as photos and be automated to preclude having to input information manually, especially 

for responders wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 

2. Requirements Source. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference. Lessons learned from hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, and the Haiti 

earthquake. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. ANG Medical Service personnel will not be able to rapidly transmit

EXPEDITIONARY MEDICAL SUPPORT (EMEDS) 

MODERNIZATION 

1. Background. The current Army National Guard (ARNG) Modification Table of 

Organization and Equipment (MTOE) structure consists of 37 Area Support Medical Companies

(ASMC), seven Ground Evacuation Companies, 363 Air Medical Evacuation Aircraft (UH60 

and LUH 72) spread across the 54 states and territories, two Medical Logistic Companies, 28 

Medical Companies (of the 28 Maneuver Brigade Combat Teams (BCT)) and eight 

Multifunctional Medical Battalions (MMB) for Medical Command and Control (MC2) spread 

across the 54 states and territories. This structure is designed to support Homeland Security 

efforts and/or supplement the civilian emergency medical response system as required.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and lessons learned from hurricanes Katrina, Ike, Gustav, the Louisiana 

floods, and the Greensburg, Kansas tornado. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. If funding is not approved, resupply of ARNG Medical Companies, 

Area Support Medical Companies, and Ground and Air Evacuation Companies will lack pushpackage resupply ability for events lasting more than two to three days. Without resupply, unit 

effectiveness will diminish and likely result in mission failure and increase the potential loss of

MEDICAL COMMAND AND CONTROL (MC2) ELECTRONIC 

DATA CAPABILITY SUPPORTING DOMESTIC MASS CASUALTY EVENTS

1. Background. The current Army National Guard (ARNG) medical communications system is

Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4). The MC4 system is composed of 

seven Army approved line items of medical communications tools used by medical personnel to 

read and record medical information of soldiers receiving medical care. This equipment allows 

medical personnel access to the personal medical baseline information of patients in their care, 

enhances medical readiness, and provides a comprehensive life-long electronic medical record 

for all service members. Although MC4 creates an electronic medical record for service 

members, it lacks the capability to communicate with the Air National Guard (ANG) Joint 

Patient Tracking System (JPATS), fire and rescue, and other civilian agencies’ systems. A 

proposed material solution is to have a medical communication system such as the MC2 

electronic data capability that creates information in an Emergency Data Exchange Language 

(EDXL) system, which has the ability to review medical data and metrics in a real time, is webbased, and placed in a Geographic Information System (GIS)-enabled environment. The solution 

system should provide timely and accurate information on the location, movement, status, and 

identity of equipment, supplies, and personnel and have general interoperability.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Without a MC2 electronic data system that supports general 

interoperability there will be a breakdown in medical communications in the event of a natural 

disaster and/or terrorist attack. 

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies.

5. Contractor. TBD.

UPGRADED GROUND AMBULANCE PLATFORMS

1. Background. The current Army National Guard (ARNG) ambulance fleet consists of 20 

year old legacy High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) ambulances that are 

nearing the end of their Maintenance Expenditure Limit (MEL). The fleet is comprised of 29 

M996 (2-litter) and 1,340 M997 (4-litter) HMMWV ambulances but is short 319 authorized 

ambulances. One of the most important ARNG missions is to provide support during Chemical, 

Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN), Homeland Defense/Homeland Support, natural 

disaster relief operations, and to support civilian authorities within the guidelines of Defense 

Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS). These 

essential requirements demand that the ARNG have capable and modernized ambulances that 

can navigate terrain to the last mile beyond the limitations of standard commercial ambulances 

and be interoperable with the total modernized force. In addition to providing medical treatment 

and transportation of military personnel, ARNG Medical and Combat Service Support (CSS) 

units requiring M997s provide substantial augmentation support to civilian agencies throughout 

the year and especially during the hurricane season. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding ground ambulances in the ARNG would 

result in the ARNG’s inability to provide critical medical treatment and transportation for 

personnel, ultimately resulting in the potential loss of life. ARNG Medical and CSS units 

require M997s to provide substantial augmentation support to civilian agencies throughout the 

year and especially during the hurricane season.

4. Units Impacted. In Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Regions 4 and 6 there 

are eight ARNG critical hurricane states with 106 units requiring this capability. Especially 

important are the HMMWV ambulance shortages in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida,

and Texas which account for 90 M997s each.

Search & Rescue

Search and Rescue (ESF #9) - Search and Rescue rapidly deploys components of the National 

Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System to provide specialized lifesaving assistance 

to state and local authorities in the event of a major disaster or emergency. US&R operational 

activities include locating, extricating, and providing on-site medical treatment to victims 

trapped in collapsed structures. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as primary 

agency for ESF #9, will activate the national US&R Response System for any incident or 

anticipated incident that is determined likely to result in collapsed structures that would 

overwhelm existing state and local US&R resources. The likelihood of activation depends on 

the nature and magnitude of the event, the suddenness of onset, and the existence of US&R 

resources in the affected area. 

Disasters and emergencies vary widely in scope, degree of 

devastation, and threat to human life. For example, in 

situations that entail structural collapse, large numbers of 

people may require rescue and medical care. The mortality 

rate among trapped victims rises dramatically after 72 

hours, thus US&R must be initiated without delay. During 

the response, rescue personnel may encounter extensive 

damage to the local infrastructure, such as buildings, 

roadways, public works, communications, and utilities. 

Damage can create environmental safety and health hazards, such as downed power lines, unsafe 

drinking water, and unrefrigerated food. Following an earthquake, aftershocks, secondary 

events, and/or other hazards (e.g. fires, tsunami, landslides, flooding, and hazardous material 

releases) may compound problems and threaten both disaster victims and rescue personnel, and 

in some circumstances, rescue personnel may be at risk from terrorism, civil disorder, or crime.

The 129 RQW continues to provide civil search and rescue capabilities to the state of California 

to include wildfire rescue support and also responded for hurricane Irene support. The 176 WG 

continues to hold a 24-hour state-wide rescue alert in Alaska resulting in numerous lives saved 

and also responds to national emergencies such as hurricane Irene. The 106 RQW from New 

York continues its long standing tradition of responding to state and federal rescue missions to 

include hurricane Irene which resulted in numerous lives saved. Upcoming modernization 

efforts for the ANG rescue fleet include AN/ARS-6v12 

LARS which will continue to help locate survivors, 

communication upgrades that will allow for enhanced 

communications with civil responders, and mission 

operations trailers and tents that allow for selfsustained rescue operations for at least 72 hours.

Search and Rescue

MULTI-AGENCY COMMUNICATIONS 

1. Background. The Homeland Defense mission of responding to civil taskings (natural and 

man-made disasters as well as law enforcement operations) requires immediate and decisive 

operations to minimize the loss of life and property. The HH-60G and the H/MC-130 has 

severely limited capability to communicate with civil responders, hindering rescue relief 

operations. A secure multi-spectrum radio will ensure military and civil command authorities 

can communicate directly with Air National Guard (ANG) rescue helicopters and equip these 

helicopters to support any relief operation. In addition, the radio increases the HH-60G and the 

H/MC-130 combat search and rescue capability by filling an existing secure radio shortfall. 

Furthermore, search and rescue capability will be increased with procurement of a radio package 

capable of communicating with multiple agencies on the scene of a natural or man-made disaster 

by ground search parties improving the overall Incident Action Plan. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Lack of direct National Incident Management System (NIMS) 

compliant communication to on-scene first responders will result in slower response time to civil 

disasters and risk loss of life and property.

DEDICATED VEHICLE SUPPORT FOR SEARCH AND 

RESCUE (SAR) TEAMS

1. Background. Dedicated vehicles are needed for operational support of Defense Support of

Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS). Previous disasters such as 

hurricane Katrina, the Haiti earthquake, and others have revealed that departments required 

additional vehicles to distribute and replenish assets in a timely manner. The Air National Guard 

(ANG) has the ability to deliver these assets in a timely manner within the hours needed to save 

lives. SAR capability will be increased with the procurement of heavy duty vehicles capable of 

moving personnel and equipment postured at ANG locations available to support domestic 

operations and Mutual Aid Agreement day to day operations. The vehicles should be F550s or 

matching equivalent due to the need to transport heavy trailers, large amounts of equipment, and 

people in austere conditions. Each base requires three dedicated vehicles capable of supporting 

domestic operations with short notice.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding dedicated vehicle support could result in 

potential loss of life in the next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or other disaster in the 

United States. These assets will provide a valuable service to local communities, governors, and 

the Department of Defense for the purpose of saving lives.

Search and Rescue

COMMON OPERATING PICTURE (COP)

1. Background. HH-60 and H/MC-130 aircraft are required to provide the Combat Search and 

Rescue Task Force with enhanced situational awareness capability. Installation of a Tactical 

Data Link provides comprehensive Command and Control (C2) and maximizes H/MC-130 

aircrew situational awareness with Beyond Line of Sight/Secure Line of Sight capabilities. 

Current situational awareness data link capabilities require second generation Blue Force 

Tracking II upgrades to increase C2 awareness and tactical coordination between Army National 

Guard (ARNG) and Air National Guard (ANG) rescue forces. Gateways are crucial to allow 

different data links to communicate together in today’s environment. The Global Information 

Network Architecture (GINA) provides real-time information exchange between disparate rescue 

forces enabling improved situational awareness across the tactical, operational, and strategic 

levels of C2. The GINA “DragonPulse” Information Management Specification developed for 

the Army’s 18th Airborne Corps leverages state-of-the-art information technology to collect and 

relate critical information spanning the full spectrum of joint domestic operations. H/MC-130 

aircraft equipped with Special Airborne Mission Installation and Response (SABIR) system with 

AS-4 instrument pod provides rescue forces and other first responders with installed Incident

Awareness and Assessment (IAA) capability for search and rescue in all weather conditions 

while providing time-sensitive information to incident C2.

Search and Rescue

LOCATION AIDES

1. Background. Rescue aircraft and ground crews require state of the art equipment to aid 

locating survivors of natural or man-made disasters. An Electro-Optical/Infra-Red (EO/IR) 

sensor must be capable of supporting full-motion video with line of sight video downlink 

capability, increased field of view, cursor on target/IR cueing, low-light television, 

hyper/multispectral sensors, thermal imaging, and eye safe laser range finder/designator 

capability. Auto stability and auto focus with precise magnification is required to find, fix, and 

track targets. Cursor on Target provides real-time information exchange capability to improve 

coordination and achieves interoperability with other rescue forces and first responders by using 

existing civilian systems. Equipping rescue aircraft with state of the art technology will take the 

search out of “search and rescue” and will ultimately save lives. One of the key elements to the 

recovery of isolated personnel is to locate the survivors. At the present time, the ground attack 

community lacks the effective capability required to locate survivors and equipment, 

dramatically increasing risk to the operator. Operators are spending longer amounts of time 

searching for isolated personnel, diving deeper than necessary, or searching in the wrong 

location. Specialized equipment such as underwater robots and sonar can dramatically reduce 

the time spent locating the survivor, reduce exposure to rescue personnel, and increase the 

likelihood of successfully completing missions.

Oil and Hazardous Materials Response (ESF #10) - Oil and Hazardous Material response 

teams provides federal support to state and local 

governments in response to an actual or potential discharge 

and/or release of hazardous materials following a major 

disaster or emergency. As an element of the National 

Response Framework (NRF), ESF #10 may be activated in 

response to a disaster for which the President of the United 

States (POTUS), through the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), determines that federal assistance is required 

to supplement the response efforts of the affected state and 

local governments. A natural or other disaster could result in 

numerous situations in which hazardous materials are 

released into the environment. Fixed facilities (e.g., 

chemical plants, tank farms, laboratories, operating 

hazardous waste sites) that produce, generate, use, store, or 

dispose of hazardous materials could be damaged so severely 

that existing spill control apparatus and containment 

measures are not effective. Hazardous materials that are 

transported may be involved in rail accidents, highway 

collisions, or waterway mishaps. Abandoned hazardous waste sites could be damaged, causing 

further degradation of holding ponds, tanks, and drums. The damage to, or rupture of pipelines 

transporting materials that are hazardous if improperly released will present serious problems. 

Disaster recovery procedures could generate hazardous materials threats to the public health or 

welfare of the environment. Terrorism incidents involving Weapons of Mass Destruction 

(WMD) may take place requiring fully equipped hazardous material response teams.

MULTIBAND RADIO SYSTEM

1. Background. The Multiband Radio System (Motorola XTS 7000) is needed for operational 

support of Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support 

(NGCS). Disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes have shown a need for support to civilian 

communities as resources are expended quickly. The Air National Guard (ANG) has the ability 

to deliver these assets in a timely manner within the hours needed to save lives. 

Communications will be enhanced by allowing military units to communicate with outside 

agencies that are requesting assistance. Interoperable communications are required for the ANG 

to support domestic operations and Mutual Aid Agreement day to day operations.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake lessons learned.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding multiband radios could result in potential 

loss of life in the next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or other disaster in the United 

States. These assets will provide valuable life-saving resources to local communities, governors, 

and the Department of Defense for the purpose of saving lives and enhancing overall 

communications with the communities who need support.

4. Units Impacted. All 65 ANG Fire Emergency Service Flights are provided 12 portable

DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT EQUIPMENT

1. Background. Increased safety measures are needed for operational support during response 

to Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS). 

The safety of operational personnel is enhanced by active detection of hazardous chemical 

materials and gamma radiation which are Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH). 

Active detection is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to 

ensure the level of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in operation is adequate for the hazard 

present. The National Guard has the ability to deliver these assets in a timely manner within the 

hours needed to save lives. Downrange operational capability is increased and the safeguard of 

personnel enhanced with procurement of a five gas meter and dosimeter for radiological 

detection.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and the continuing need to safeguard the first responder community from 

unseen life threatening environments.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding a five gas meter and a dosimeter will 

result in the loss of life and the loss of critical capabilities during response to all hazardous 

environments, i.e. earthquakes, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, or other disasters. These assets will 

provide an extremely valuable asset to local communities, governors, and the Department of

Public Safety and 

Security

Public Safety and Security (ESF #13) - Public 

Safety and Security includes facility and resource 

security, security planning and technical resource 

assistance, public safety and security support, and 

traffic and crowd control. It integrates countrywide 

public safety and security capabilities and resources 

to support the full range of incident management 

activities associated with potential or actual Incidents 

of Critical Significance. 

While state, tribal, local, and private-sector authorities have primary responsibility for public 

safety and security, ESF #13 provides federal public safety and security assistance to support 

preparedness, response, and recovery priorities 

when state, tribal, and local resources are 

overwhelmed or inadequate. When activated, ESF 

#13 coordinates the implementation of federal 

authorities (to include mission assignments) and 

resources that are appropriate for the situation. 

ESF #13 may provide protection and security 

resources, planning assistance, technology 

support, and other technical assistance to support 

incident operations, consistent with federal agency 

authorities and resource availability.

Security includes measures taken by a military unit, activity, or installation to protect it against 

all acts designed to, or which may impair its effectiveness. Security creates a condition resulting 

from the establishment and maintenance of protective measures to ensure a state of inviolability 

from hostile acts or influences. Additionally, security, with respect to classified matter, prevents 

unauthorized persons from having access to official information that is safeguarded in the 

interests of national security.

 

There are various examples of functions which have 

involved integration with public service, military 

police, or security activities. The threat of tropical 

storms and hurricanes, earthquakes, winter storms, 

blackouts, forest/wildfires, or civil unrest are 

examples of incidents which ESF #13 is prepared to 

assist and support local authorities or agencies. 

Specific cases of these examples are the earthquake 

which rattled the East Coast and hurricane Irene in 

August 2011, which affected the Northeastern coast of 

the United States. Upcoming modernization efforts for the ANG security forces require more 

Less Than Lethal (LTL) weapons and explosive detection kits.

SECURITY FORCES (SF) VEHICLES 

1. Background. SF are the first responders of choice at home and abroad. Responses range 

from events such as Presidential Inaugurations, G20 Summits, Mardi Gras, and disaster 

responses such as ice storms, tsunamis, and floods. Air National Guard (ANG) SF does not have 

any tactical vehicles (e.g. HMMWVs) in its inventory. ANG SF only has vehicle authorizations 

necessary for Force Protection Contingency (FPCON) normal base security posting. Thus, ANG 

SF have no inherent capability to provide vehicles for Domestic Operations (DOMOPS) support. 

SF require vehicles capable of transporting personnel and equipment to DOMOPS and vehicles 

which can be used for security patrols and other DOMOPS missions. They also provide 

enhanced capability to conduct operations such as checkpoints, road closures, traffic control 

points, civil disturbance operations, town patrol, and similar missions. Procurement of tactical 

vehicles would solve this shortfall with dual-use assets. However, due to a pre-established limit 

the Air Force (AF) has established for tactical vehicles, it is impossible to procure any tactical 

vehicles as any growth would exceed AF authorized quantities. The ANG requires policy 

flexibility in this area in order to break through established AF limits.

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI 

FREEDOM and domestic operations such as Operation JUMP START and efforts in support of 

hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

3. Impact If Not Funded. SF members have limited capability to respond to DOMOPS and 

will continue to rely on vehicles on an ad-hoc basis. This directly impacts the mission, with a 

negative impact on mission success by not allowing the timeliest response.

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact 8,000 SF Airmen at all 92 ANG SF squadrons within the

SECURITY FORCES (SF) PERSONAL PROTECTIVE

EQUIPMENT (PPE)

1. Background. SF are the first responders at home and abroad and forces generally arrive onscene with limited or no basic PPE. Basic PPE includes rubber gloves, dust masks/respirators, 

and protective suits. These items are necessary in order to allow responders to conduct 

operations such as checkpoints, road closures, traffic control points, civil disturbance operations, 

town patrol, and similar missions. Other than deployment assets, SF have no PPE within its 

inventory other than Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) masks and suits. 

Deployment assets are only effective against certain weaponized biological and chemical 

hazards, therefore, Air National Guard (ANG) SF have limited and degraded inherent capability 

to provide immediate support safely for Domestic Operations.

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI

DOMESTIC OPERATIONS (DOMOPS) KITS

1. Background. Security Forces (SF) are the first responders of choice at home and abroad. 

Responses range from events such as Presidential Inaugurations, G20 Summits, Mardi Gras, and 

disaster responses such as ice storms, tsunamis, and floods. Current DOMOPS equipment 

consists of basic mobility equipment and limited Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), thus 

severely degrading response due to equipment shortfalls. SF provide security and traffic control 

duties in support of DOMOPs, such as traffic control points, checkpoints, and cordon areas. 

Currently SF are not properly equipped to perform these functions. These kits provide necessary 

safety equipment (reflective vests, cones, signage, etc.) and include portable power that is 

currently unavailable to SF members performing these tasks. The Enhanced Security Kits and 

Traffic Control Kits provide an additional capability to provide better security and control for 

any domestic scenario.

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI 

FREEDOM and DOMOPS such as Operation JUMP START and efforts in support of hurricanes 

Katrina and Rita.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure this equipment significantly degrades mission 

effectiveness and places Air National Guard (ANG) SF performing these tasks in jeopardy. These 

kits allow for safe SF response and minimal use of force. Failure to procure increases both 

vulnerability of SF personnel and the risk of harm to the public. The lack of enhanced security and 

traffic control kits for SF will negatively impact the ability to establish and maintain control 

during DOMOPS situations, as well as ANG SF members’ personal safety.

COMMUNICATION INTEROPERABILITY 

UPGRADES

1. Background. Upgraded communications equipment will provide proper Command and 

Control (C2) between Air National Guard (ANG) Security Forces (SF) and disaster response 

agencies. Interoperability of current communications (AN/PRC-152 radios) is insufficient and 

requires attention. Responses have ranged from events such as Presidential Inaugurations, G20 

Summits, Mardi Gras, and disaster responses such as ice storms, tsunamis, and floods. Current 

Domestic Operations (DOMOPS) communications equipment consists of utilizing mobility 

assets which are adequate but require “upgrade” to improve interoperability with aforementioned 

agencies. SF provide security and traffic control duties and are unable to communicate with nonDOD entities during DOMOPS. Traffic control points, checkpoints, and cordon areas are a 

routine part of DOMOPS. Currently, SF are not properly equipped with communications 

equipment to perform these functions. These upgrades provide necessary communication 

equipment which enhances capability to provide better security and control for any domestic 

scenario.

2. Source of Need. Lessons learned from Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI 

FREEDOM and domestic operations such as Operation JUMP START and efforts in support of 

hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to procure these communication equipment upgrades 

significantly degrades mission effectiveness and places ANG SF performing these tasks in jeopardy. 

These upgrades allow for safe SF response and collateral communications between ANG SF and 

civilian agencies. The lack of these upgrades could negatively impact the ability to establish and 

maintain control during DOMOPS situations, as well as ANG SF members’ personal safety.

Incident Awareness 

& Assessment

Incident Awareness and Assessment (IAA) -

Shared Situational Awareness (SSA) assists 

federal, state, and local governmental entities, as 

well as voluntary organizations requiring a 

common understanding of the hazards faced in 

order to perform unilateral or multi-lateral response 

missions. IAA serves as a coordination point 

between response operations and restoration of the 

civilian infrastructure and services through such 

missions as situational awareness, damage 

assessment, evacuation monitoring, search and 

rescue, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, (CBRN) assessment, hydrographic survey, 

and dynamic ground coordination. It includes (1) Friendly Force Tracking (FFT) and display of 

forces, (2) open standards for sharing information amongst a wide disparity of situational 

awareness viewers, (3) use of airborne platforms/sensors and other systems that can provide 

geospatial products to build situational awareness, and (4) wider availability of unclassified 

Processing, Assessment, and Dissemination (PAD) mobile units. 

A major disaster may severely damage the civilian 

infrastructure and processes throughout the Joint 

Operational Environment. IAA gives the incident 

commander the ability to provide common situational 

awareness and assessment of the disaster area through the 

operations centers working to provide support to the 

responders on the ground. Damaged infrastructure, 

hazardous areas, location of forces, and staging of supplies 

are all parts of the managed chaos that responding agencies 

must maintain awareness of. IAA supports the common 

understanding and shared awareness so that key decision makers can flow the proper resources to 

the critical areas in the quickest time possible. As additional forces flow into the disaster area, 

decision makers will use IAA to understand the current situation on the ground to properly 

allocate and direct the actions of follow-on 

forces. 

The National Guard’s IAA role supports all ESFs

UNCLASSIFIED PROCESSING, ANALYSIS, AND 

DISSEMINATION (PAD) SYSTEM AND NETWORK

1. Background. Air National Guard (ANG) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 

(ISR) units have highly trained and experienced Imagery/Geospatial Analysts at units located in 

each of the 10 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regions. However, the units 

are not capable of processing imagery from multiple sources at the unclassified level; effectively 

inhibiting a valuable ANG resource from supporting Homeland Defense (HLD) or Defense 

Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS). Installing an 

unclassified PAD system and network will allow unit personnel at home station to provide direct 

imagery analysis support to first responders, State and Federal agencies, and other involved 

parties. 

2. Source of Need. USAF Katrina/Rita Lessons Learned, 2006; USAF Homeland Defense 

Conference Briefs, 27 Feb - 1 Mar 2007; California wildfires, 2007-2009; Haiti, 2010; Gulf of 

Mexico Oil Spill, 2010. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. ANG support to HLD/DSCA/NGCS operations will not be provided 

in a timely manner, negatively affecting civil agency Search and Rescue (SAR) operations.

Incident Awareness and Assessment

GROUND-BASED SENSE-AND-AVOID SYSTEMS TO 

ENABLE REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT (RPA) ACCESS TO

THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM (NAS) 

1. Background. Air National Guard (ANG) RPA units require increased access to the NAS in 

order to train and respond to domestic emergencies. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

restricts operations to Restricted and Warning Areas through a cumbersome process known as 

Certificates of Authorization (COA). Based upon their regulatory guidance that aircraft must 

“see and avoid” other aircraft, COAs do not enable RPA operations without the use of visual 

spotters or chase aircraft unless inside Restricted/Warning areas. This effectively denies ANG 

units a majority of traditional military use airspace, particularly Military Operating Areas (MOA) 

and Joint-Use Class D control zones at military/civilian airfields. RPA assets performing 

Homeland Defense (HLD) missions or Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and 

National Guard Civil Support (NGCS) [IAW 32 USC 904, 32 CFR 185, JP 3-27 & 28] require 

the ability to detect, track, and avoid both cooperative and non-cooperative air traffic. Current 

technology can link a network of low-cost, scalable 3-D radars to Ground Control Stations 

(GCS) enabling pilots to “see-and-avoid” for safe operation. Integrating 3-D active sensors into 

networked displays and traffic deconfliction systems can be tested and installed in less than three

years. The ideal system will integrate Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) technology with FAAcertified displays installed at pilot positions and FAA Air Traffic Controller locations to enhance 

situational awareness. The system will balance costs and operational interfaces for all partners 

(ANG, ACC, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), etc.).

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and lessons learned from hurricane Katrina, Haiti earthquake and 

Fukushima, Japan. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. Continued inability to train in NAS throughout CONUS impacts 

safety with regard to both domestic IAA and contingency ISR operations. ANG RPA ability to 

comply with FAA requirements for "see and avoid," and the ability to provide IAA 

DSCA/NGCS support will be delayed.

HIGH RESOLUTION (.5 METER) UNCLASSIFIED & TIMELY

COMMERCIAL SATELLITE IMAGERY 

1. Background. Eagle Vision is the Department of Defense’s only deployable commercial 

imagery direct downlink ground station. It provides unclassified imagery for combat operations, 

mission planning, geospatial awareness, homeland defense, and emergency management. The

stations located at Redstone Arsenal, Hickam AFB, and McEntire JNGB are configured with 

architectures facing obsolescence. The new architecture is based on a new generation of multiprocessor servers and transforms the underlying core capability to a common processor array. 

This evolution closely mirrors advances taking place throughout the international remote sensing 

community providing compatibility with nearly all of the commercial remote sensing satellite 

interfaces. This modernization will improve performance, reduce sustainment, and better 

support Information Assurance objectives. These stations will have near real-time access to most 

kinds of remote sensing data, including high resolution (.5 Meter), broad area coverage, multispectral optical, synthetic aperture radar, stereo, and monoscopic imagery. This type of imagery 

supports the dramatic growth in the missions these stations can support, including maritime 

domain awareness, change detection, verification, identification, disaster monitoring, persistent 

surveillance, rapid mapping, and sensor cueing. 

2. Source of Need. USSPACECOM requirements, 2011 Air Reserve Component (ARC) 

Weapons and Tactics (WEPTAC) Conference, Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration 

(CWID), and the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Requirements (JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. ANG support to Homeland Defense (HLD) or Defense Support of

Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS) will remain degraded. The 

new architecture provides the bridge for delivering timely international remote sensing products 

to the net-centric architectures reaching maturity throughout the community.

Incident Awareness and Assessment

FULLY MISSION CAPABLE INCIDENT AWARENESS AND 

ASSESSMENT (IAA) PLATFORMS AND SENSORS

1. Background. The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) stated a need for a 

Deployable Aerial Communications Architecture (DACA) to provide communications during 

natural or man-made catastrophic events. Noting that terrestrial-based cellular systems may be

partially or completely damaged in many disaster scenarios, the use of an airborne cellular 

repeater pod would allow first responders and other emergency management entities continued 

use of day-to-day communication devices such as cellular and smart phones. Such relay systems 

placed on the wing of high endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) such as the MQ-1 and 

MQ-9, could fulfill the DACA vision of providing cellular and broadband communications over 

an affected area within the first 12-18 hours of an event, and continue non-stop coverage for a 

period of 72-96 hours by cycling in additional aircraft. Placing such systems on RPAs would 

provide longer loiter times than manned aircraft, as well as provide full motion video and 

Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) capabilities. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and lessons learned from the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan. 

3. Impact If Not Funded. ANG support to Homeland Defense (HLD) or Defense Support of

Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS) will remain degraded.

Incident Awareness and Assessment

SCALABLE INCIDENT AWARENESS AND ASSESSMENT

(IAA) MANAGEMENT TOOL

1. Background. IAA is similar to its Title 10 Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 

(ISR) counterpart, as it IAA lacks an automated method to use four-dimensional visualization 

(elevation, horizon, depth, and time) to support efficient/effective planning and direction of realtime IAA imagery operations. To effectively plan and coordinate the activities of multiple 

airborne IAA platforms, IAA collection managers need the ability to “fly” the projected IAA 

plan to see if it will accomplish all/most of the tasked imagery requirements to meet the incident 

commander’s priority information requirements. This IAA management tool must provide 3-D 

modeling of common IAA sensor capabilities (MC-12, MQ-1/9, RC-26, Civil Air Patrol 

platforms/sensors, etc.) over a display of the incident area, to include terrain elevation data over a 

period of time. It also should provide an assessment for whether the proposed IAA decks for the 

various platforms/sensors will meet the tasked imagery requirements. The “scalable” part of this 

requirement should allow IAA collection managers to plug in the operating characteristics and 

sensor capabilities of IAA platforms that show up unannounced to help (e.g., the Icelandic 

airplane that was used in Deepwater Horizon). The IAA management tool should then be able to 

incorporate these “uncommon” IAA platforms/sensors into the 3-D visualization and modeling. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and any large-scale Domestic Operations (DOMOPS) event which 

required sustained IAA imagery collection (e.g., Deep Water Horizon, hurricane Katrina relief 

operations, etc.).

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding a scalable IAA management tool will 

reduce IAA imagery collection effectiveness and hamper IAA platform/sensor resource 

management. 

4. Units Impacted. All 54 state’s and territory’s Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ) could use 

this tool. It should also be part of the suite of systems the ANG is preparing to field via its 

mobile Defense Support of Civil Agencies (DSCA), National Guard Civil Support (NGSC), and 

IAA Processing, Analysis, and Dissemination (PAD) trailers (approximately 13 intelligence 

units). 

5. Contractor. TBD.

Incident Awareness and Assessment

GROUND-BASED SENSE-AND-AVOID SYSTEMS TO 

ENABLE REMOTELY-PILOTED AIRCRAFT (RPA) ACCESS TO 

THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM (NAS)

1. Background. Army National Guard (ARNG) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) units require 

increased access to the NAS in order to train and respond to domestic emergencies. The Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA) restricts operations to Restricted and Warning Areas through 

Certificates of Authorization (COA). Based upon FAA regulatory guidance that aircraft must 

“see and avoid” other aircraft, COAs do not allow UAS operations without the use of either 

visual spotters or chase aircraft. This effectively denies UASs the use of a majority of its military 

use airspace, particularly Military Operating Areas (MOA) and Joint-Use Class D control zones 

at military/civilian airfields. UAS performing Homeland Defense (HLD) missions or Defense 

Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS) [IAW 32 USC 

904, 32 CFR 185, JP 3-27 & 28] need the ability to detect, track, and avoid both cooperative and 

non-cooperative air traffic. Technology exists to link a network of low-cost, scalable, deployable 

3-D radars to Ground Control Stations (GCS) enabling pilots to accomplish FAA-endorsed 

“sense-and-avoid” methods. Integrating 3-D active Sensors into networked displays can be 

tested and installed in less than three years. The ideal system will integrate Commercial Off-theShelf (COTS) technology with FAA-certified displays. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact If Not Funded. If not funded, UASs will be unable to fly and train in airspace 

throughout CONUS, impacting safety with regard to both domestic IAA and contingency ISR 

operations. Additionally, it will further delay ARNG UAS ability to comply with FAA 

requirements for "see and avoid," and negatively impact the ability of the ARNG to meet UAS 

training requirements and provide IAA DSCA/NGCS, emergency, and disaster support.

Incident Awareness and Assessment

FRIENDLY FORCE TRACKING (FFT) DEVICE

1. Background. Friendly Force Tracking devices are needed for operational support of Defense

Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support (NGCS). As disaster 

responses unfold, incident commanders and operations centers need to know where their forces 

are aligned and what resources are waiting in the wings to be moved into the Joint Operational 

Environment. FFT devices, such as the SHOUT nano are Iridium/GPS handheld devices already 

in use by the Department of Defense (DoD) (such as NORTHCOM and some select state 

National Guard units) as well as interagencies (such as Department of State, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)) for 

operational and exercise support. The Army National Guard (ARNG) has the ability to track and 

display their friendly forces to shared situational awareness systems. However, this equipment is 

not readily available or fully deployed throughout the National Guard (NG). FFTs are available 

for procurement now and can be quickly integrated into operations with position location 

information seamlessly injected into the NORTHCOM unclassified and classified data 

architectures that support our missions today. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference, Deep Water Horizon lessons learned, and National Special Security 

Events.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding FFT devices may result in potential loss 

of life through delayed response in the next earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, or other 

disaster in the United States. These devices will provide a valuable asset to local communities, 

governors, and the Department of Defense for the allocation of forces and critical equipment to 

areas needing lifesaving and property damage mitigation.

4. Units Impacted. Shortfalls impact the ability of all 54 states and territories to respond to 

contingencies. 

5. Contractor. Naval Special Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane, IN.

Incident Awareness and Assessment

GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION INTEROPERABILITY 

EXPLOITATION PORTABLE (GIIEP) SYSTEM AND OTHER

SENSORS CERTIFICATION ON ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT

1. Background. The GIIEP system and other modular sensors are great resources to provide 

commanders Shared Situational Awareness (SSA) and the ability to make informed decisions in 

a domestic operational environment. These systems enhance Incident Awareness and 

Assessment (IAA) capabilities but have had limited use by the Army National Guard (ARNG) 

due to the lack of certification for airworthiness on Army rotary wing aircraft. These platforms 

are utilized through cooperative agreements with the Civil Air Patrol but are not meeting their 

full potential due to lack of certification.

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference and hurricane Irene.

3. Impact If Not Funded. The impact of not funding the certification of the GIIEP system for 

airworthiness of ARNG rotary wing aircraft would be a degradation of SSA for the commander 

involved in Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) or National Guard Civil Support 

(NGCS) operations. This lack of SSA during vital operations such as search and rescue and 

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, (CBRN) decontamination operations could lead to 

the loss of life. 

4. Units Impacted. All 50 states have been given at least one GIIEP system. Full utilization of 

the system requires the ability to use it on airframes organic to the state or at least ARNG.

5. Contractor. N/A.

ADD-ON IMAGERY FOR ARMY AVIATION AND 

GROUND ASSETS

1. Background. The capability for devices that provide real-time motion video and imagery is 

needed for Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and National Guard Civil Support 

(NGCS). Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology exists that enables military operators to 

conduct reconnaissance and surveillance operations. This technology can be mounted on Army 

ground vehicles, aviation assets, or in dismounted configurations. 

2. Source of Need. Identified by the 2012 Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements 

(JDOER) Conference.

3. Impact if Not Funded. The Army National Guard (ARNG) will have a decreased capability 

to provide surveillance assistance and provide a valuable asset to local communities, governors, 

and the Department of Defense for the critical equipment to areas needing assistance for Civil 

Authorities in response to disasters.
