  10. Issues for Awareness • Not all geographic areas have the same processes for “Lend/Lease” of resources • Do not “Lend/Lease” contracts like showers, caterers, etc. • In coming team preorders where they are replacing existing team are problematic • Communicate through the Dispatch Centers and GACCs when there are incident support issues with self-sufficiency, payment for baggage fees, etc.
