9. Keys to Success • SAR is a time critical (72 hrs) lifesaving mission area • To be successful, SAR capability must be called early • Integrated Planning by all agencies is critical • No one agency can handle every contingency themselves • Thresholds and gaps pre identified • Local/State Lead (Incident Management) • But multi Agency Coordination/support • Supporting relationships (not C2) is proven successful • Air Coordination Plan is a best practice Including: • Mission altitude Stratification • Mission prioritizations • Compatible Comms • Use of CISAR addendum/NIMS/ICS

10. What can DoD help you with? DoD is not interested in taking over, but DoD can multiply the force, in support of the effort and can bring: • Unique capability: • SAR Coordination via RCC and Air Coordination ability • Specialized Personnel for Planning and Ops • Access to specialized assets • Timely response: • Immediate response from installations in the vicinity • Surge resources: • More of what is needed to get over the hump

11. USNORTHCOM Update • DoD section of NSS • More user friendly • Adding planning section with examples • Looking for your feedback • Hurricane/Catastrophic planning • Planned/exercised with AK, tried to use MV 22s • Working detailed hurricane plans • CDRUSNORTHCOM become Federal SAR Coordinator for AK • Working with Mexico • Cross border SAR agreements • Future exercises

12. How can USNORTHCOM SAR help? • Issues • Assistance requested • Future engagements • Other Your feedback is valuable and will help make us all more successful

14. Questions USNORTHCOM SAR-PR We’re committed to your success

15. USNORTHCOM SAR Responsibilities • SECDEF designated CDR USNORTHCOM as the Inland SAR Coordinator for the contiguous 48 states (Langley Search and Rescue Region (SRR)) (4 Nov 2009) • CDRUSNORTHCOM serve as DoD lead in the USNORTHCOM AOR for matters pertaining to planning and operation of ESF#9 (DoDI 3003.01 Sept 26, 2011) USNORTHCOM has additional Civil Support SAR responsibility/authorities SAR may be requested outside of normal DSCA channels

16. SAR Responsibilities The SAR Coordinator is the federal person or agency with overall responsibility for establishing and providing civil SAR services for a specific U.S. SRR. • Develop SAR policy • Establish, staff, equip & manage the SAR system • Provide appropriate legal and funding support • Establish RCCs and RSCs • Provide or arrange for SAR facilities and SAR resources • Coordinate SAR training and exercises • SAR case suspension authority or delegation of authority • (Vol II, IAMSAR Manual)

17. Federal SAR Responsibilities ESF #9

18. Mission Statement • USNORTHCOM establishes and maintains the Search and Rescue System to coordinate and provide timely and effective response throughout the full spectrum of Civil Search and Rescue, honor international commitments, meet U.S. domestic needs, and assume DoD role as a Primary Agency for Emergency Support Function #9 planning and operations within the 48 contiguous United States. Summary: Provide or arrange for SAR services for persons in potential or actual distress

19. SAR COORDINATION ONE-STOP SHOP USNORTHCOM SAR/PR Architecture • CDR USNORTHCOM – SAR Coordinator (Inland) • Peterson AFB, CO • Strategic Responsibilities • Policy, Guidance, Interagency Coord • Federal ESF#9 • CDR AFNORTH/JFACC – SAR Operations Coordinator • Tyndall AFB, FL • Operational Responsibilities • Coordinates Resources Two operational organizations co-located and in mutual support • NC JPRC (Joint Personnel Recovery Center) AFNORTH AOC, Tyndall AFB, FL • Joint, Deployable • Operational & Tactical PR-SAR Planners • Fill ESF#9/CISAR nodes as required • AFRCC (Air Force Rescue Coordination Center) • AFNORTH AOC, Tyndall AFB, FL • Routine Civil SAR for Inland SRR (Langley) • Key in State Coordination and Training • Initiate Catastrophic Incident SAR (CISAR) MUTUALSUPPORT

20. Federal SAR Coordination Group (FSARCG) • Plan and coordinate federal SAR response in support of the RRCC/IMAT/IST and affected State/local authority having jurisdiction • Comprised of ESF #9 Primary Agency Reps (FEMA, USCG, NPS, DoD) • ESF#9 Support Agencies as incident dictates (FAA, USFWS, or other federal agencies (NGB) reps to the FSARCG) • Benefits • Improved federal SAR communications & coordination • The right resource at the right place at the right time • More accurate and timely capability gap analysis • Improved resource identification and agency sourcing • Enhanced ability to assist RRCC/IMAT/IST and States with integrated planning as requested • Bottom Line: Not a C2 entity--Primary and Support agency coordination enables more efficient interoperable execution Improves efficiency and effectiveness of Federal SAR Resources Will be requested from FEMA National (Top Down)

21. Catastrophic Incident SAR (CISAR) Addendum CISAR Addendum • Direct lesson from Katrina where there was no interagency plan • National Guidance & Standardization • Simplify the integration and operation of non-local organization resources to enable efficient & effective SAR operations in support of state and local governments in the event of a catastrophic event Why CISAR Addendum? • Lessons Learned • Diverse SAR cultures • Sets baseline expectations • ** There was/is NO other guidance….

22. Military Support to US&R • FEMA identified need – augments existing 28 Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Task Forces in the event of a large scale, collapse structure SAR event • Driven by SAR search objectives(s) - Through Primary Search in 72 hours • Military support can increase capability up to 4x • Sourced by combination of skilled response by National Guard CERFP/HRF Search and Extraction (S/E) Elements and General Purpose troop support • CONOPS presented to FEMA in Aug ’11 (in refinement) • Incorporated into National Level Exercises (NLE-11) (not successful) • Part of Complex Catastrophe initiative – Mass Search and Rescue

23. Military Support to US&R Response timeline begins with notification/request • N+0: ESF #9 Teleconference • FEMA initiates military support RFA • USNORTHCOM coordinates response • Required Airlift identified • N+6: FEMA US&RTFs and NG S/E Elements prepare to deploy • Travel by ground < 400 miles • Travel by air > 400 miles • Phased response • N+24: Initial Military augmenting forces on-scene, trained and ready to commence operations • N+72: Primary Searches complete • SAR operations normally not effective after incident +72 hours • Begin transition to Recovery Operations

24. USNORTHCOM J35 SAR/PR works closely with NGB J35, ANG and ARNG AVS Open lines of communication during an event USNORTHCOM JPRC and J36 have SAR Operations Specialists that participate in Joint Force Orientations and are part of Joint Enabling Capability Assist with state planning Understand when and where Federal assistance may be required Part of a JTF under a Dual Status Commander Goal is for all participants/stakeholders clearly understand Process to get resources Incident Management Organizational C2 Shared understanding of roles, responsibilities and expectations ensures a properly sequenced, synchronized, and integrated response in time to save every life possible Coordination with NG

25. Issues Stumbling blocks: • Process and funding to get SAR resources • Is MA with funding stream required to get SAR Services? • Incident Management • Who is in Charge? • Organizational Command & Control--OPCON/TACON • Services or SAR Ops Coordinator • How about DSC? • Relationship to DCO?

26. Hurricane Observations • ESF#9 partnership continuing to improve • Sustain/refine successes of FSARCG • Clarify/Promulgate Roles and Responsibilities • Although proactive deploying people, could benefit from being earlier • Must be in place and FOC by H-48 • Top down Mission Assignments worked well for SAR • Federal SAR Coordination Group • Identify, move and Stage SAR capability • Provide medium lift, rotary wing aircraft to conduct SAR • Utilized National Guard prepositioned forces (TF Guardian) • MA didn’t include Pay and allowances • Operational requirements must be pushed earlier to NC to source • C2 still not resolved – Much discussion of command relations and some recommendations do not match responsibilities or JP-1

27. MOAs for Routine SAR- no change, CDR USNORTHCOM has delegated that authority to CDR AFNORTH USNORTHCOM highly encourages and recommends collaborative preplanning and coordination for Catastrophic Incident SAR USNORTHCOM encourages agreements that address CISAR Separate MOA may be most appropriate CDR USNORTHCOM will be involved in CI SAR Playbook development Shared understanding of roles, responsibilities and expectations will ensure a properly sequenced, synchronized, and integrated response in time to save every life possible Planning/Coordination/Agreements

28. Key Take-aways • SAR is a time critical mission • 72 hour window • Top down MAs are good • SAR is not routine DSCA • SAR will be responding as JTF is standing up • CDRUSNORTHCOM has additional SAR Responsibilities and Authorities • Will deploy to be ready to employ when DSC/AHJ needs SAR • MORE- SOONER- CLOSER is better
