  1. M S C A MILITARY SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES EXECUTIVE BRIEFING

  2. Situation • It is federal policy for DoD, when directed, to aid civil authorities in coping with domestic security and disaster response emergencies that exceed the capability of state and local governments. Accordingly, the Secretary of Defense has directed the military components to plan for and, when called on, to assist civilian authorities in a range of security and disaster contingencies to include: • natural and technological disasters • acts of terrorism • defense of the Continental United States • key asset protection • and civil disturbances

  3. MEPLO Mission • On order, provide Marine liaison personnel in support of designated civil authorities in order to validate requests for Marine Corps support and communicate those requests to the appropriate USMC command.

  4. Commander’s Intent • Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) will contribute to Marine Corps efforts in support of civil authorities to save lives, mitigate human suffering, promote domestic security, and facilitate continuity of essential governmental services by maintaining and continually developing a nation-wide network of highly qualified officers from the Reserve Component to function as Marine Corps Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officers (MEPLOs).

  5. Concept of Operations • MEPLOs will, as directed with governmental agencies and major • commands assist civil authorities and supported commanders in • deliberate planning for disaster response and domestic security • contingencies. They also train for and, on order, immediately deploy • to assist lead federal agencies and supported Marine Corps Force • (MARFOR) commanders in identifying and interpreting needs and • managing requests for military support from civil authorities in • anticipation of and during times of national crisis. Given the nature • of the mission, MEPLOs are assigned to Individual Mobilization • Augmentee (IMA) Detachments to facilitate personnel administration • and operational deployment.

  6. Concept of Operations The MEPLO IMA Detachment is comprised of 10 MEPLO teams geographically oriented to mirror the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regions. Each MEPLO team consists of one Reserve Colonel and two Reserve Lieutenant Colonels. Marine Forces Reserve G-3 oversees Detachment administration, training, and coordination of MEPLO deployment and employment with supported commands and agencies, in particular FEMA’s National Headquarters and the headquarters of the MARFORs.

  7. MEPLO DUTIES • SUPPORT AND ADVISE DCO DURING MSCA OPERATIONS • LIAISON WITH APPROPRIATE MILITARY UNITS AND INSTALLATIONS • LIAISON WITH CIVIL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCIES • SUPPORT HIGHER HEADQUARTERS (FEMA, 5TH ARMY, STARCs) • COORDIANTE WITH OTHER SERVICE EPLOS
