  20. LESSON -- RESPONSECOMMAND/CONTROL/COMMUNICATION • C2 – Command and Control • USNORTHCOM Planning Mtg – DODD 6010.22 • “Defines DoD roles and responsibilities and activation procedures…” • Communication • Early Dialogue • Identify Requirements • Validated • Vetted • UTC Capability or “just manpower” • Comm Equip

  21. LESSON – RESPONSEPLANNING AND TIMELY EXECUTION • Phased Approach • UTCs Employed to Meet Requirement • Airlift Requirement For Total Ops • REMEMBER – Support Role • Early Planning • Local and National Tabletop Exercises • Coordination on USNORTHCOM Plans • “Cost of Homeland Readiness” • Quick Reaction Assets • Think Multi-Modal • Early!

  22. Lessons for the DSCA Partnership“In the Works” • Patient Tracking • Manifesting and Records Continue as Issues • Equipment • Special Needs • Return of Litters (and Straps) • Patient Preparation • Identification • Medications • Supplies • i.e., Ostomy, Peds

  23. AE SUMMARY • Aeromedical Evacuation Mission • A Subset of Patient Movement • Aeromedical Evacuation Unit Type Codes • Blocks of Capability and How We Employ Them • Command and Control of Assets • Defense Support to Civil Authorities … New Mission • Lessons Learned • Real Progress Made • The Spotlight is Already Focused
