APPENDIX 9C: DOD HEALTH AND MEDICAL

9C.1. GENERAL.

a. A major disaster (e.g., natural or man-made disaster, emerging infectious disease) or

complex catastrophe will demand the rapid assistance of public health and medical services to

save lives, decrease morbidity, and limit the public health and medical effects of the disaster.

(1) In such events, the large number of expected casualties (patients) and affected

persons (e.g., infectious but asymptomatic) may quickly exceed the public health and medical

capabilities of SLTT jurisdictions.

(2) Private medical practices and healthcare facilities may become quickly overwhelmed

with healthy citizens who are concerned about becoming ill, even though they are not exposed to

the agent or suffering from any diagnosable disease, injury, or condition.

(3) U.S. public health assets (e.g., laboratories, clinics, and programs for the elderly,

children, and other populations) and their services may become limited or unavailable.

(4) In the face of massive increases in demand for patient care, pharmaceuticals,

vaccines, and medical supplies and equipment may become short in supply due to disruptions in

private industry, and in supply and transportation systems.

b. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the primary Department for ESF

#8, “Public Health and Medical Services.” Through ESF #8, the Federal Government will

furnish public health and medical capabilities to supplement SLTT public health and medical

response capabilities. A full description of department and agency relationships, roles, and

responsibilities may be found in the National Response Framework.

c. The National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) is a partnership among HHS, DoD, the

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and DHS/FEMA that works in collaboration with States

and appropriate public or private entities to augment SLTT public health and medical disaster

response. The NDMS may provide:

(1) Deployable HHS medical and support personnel, teams, supplies, and equipment.

(2) DoD patient movement (primarily adult hospital inpatients) from an aerial port of

embarkation to DoD or VA Federal Coordinating Centers that receive evacuated patients in

unaffected areas of the United States.

(3) Definitive medical care for NDMS patients in participating NDMS civilian hospitals

(DoD and VA arranged).

(4) Support to DoD and the VA in caring for military casualties resulting from military

contingencies or in time of war. Section 300hh-11 of Title 42, U.S.C., describes the NDMS, and

DoDI 6010.22 establishes policy for DoD participation in the NDMS.

APPENDIX 9C: DOD HEALTH AND MEDICAL

DoDM 3025.01-V1, August 11, 2016

d. The National Strategy for Biosurveillance defines biosurveillance as the process of

gathering, integrating, interpreting, and communicating essential information related to all-

hazards threats or disease activity affecting human, animal, or plant health to achieve early

detection and warning, to contribute to overall situational awareness of the health aspects of an

incident, and to enable better decision-making at all levels.

(1) DoD conducts biosurveillance-related activities in the areas of comprehensive health

surveillance, food protection and zoonotic disease surveillance, CBRN detection and monitoring,

medical intelligence (international), and installation environmental (air) monitoring through

various Military Department/Service programs.

(2) Information from the law enforcement community and intelligence may also

contribute to preventing, detecting, and responding to threats and events.

e. Federal military commanders and responsible DoD officials may provide public health

and medical support under immediate response authority, as described in DoDD 3025.18. See

Section 5 of Volume 2 of this manual for additional information on immediate response

authority.

and can only provide noncombatant support. Although similar in organization and dress to the

Air Force, CAP performs its services through the use of unpaid volunteers. The Air Force and

other users reimburse CAP for certain actual expenses.

b. Organized into eight regions and 52 wings, CAP can perform both civil and military

noncombatant missions. These include SAR, continental U.S. airborne reconnaissance for

damage assessment, airborne and ground radiological monitoring, route survey and movement

control, light-load airlift and courier service, radio communications and transportation missions.

The Air Force National Security Emergency Preparedness (AFNSEP) office is normally the

point of contact with CAP. Because CAP is a volunteer auxiliary of the Air Force, CAP may

accept or decline missions based on hazardous or severe conditions.

c. The Air Force is authorized to reimburse CAP for fuel, lubricants, communications, and

aircraft maintenance expenses incurred in carrying out noncombatant missions in support of the

Air Force. When CAP units participate in DSCA operations under the auspices of the Air Force,

funding to CAP members and units is generally limited to:

(1) Ground and aviation fuel and lubricants consumed during DSCA missions authorized

by the AFNSEP Division.

(2) Communications expenses incurred while alerting or controlling CAP members

participating in DSCA missions authorized by the AFNSEP Division.

(3) Aircraft maintenance expenses incurred while participating in DSCA missions.

d. The AFNSEP Office authorizes DSCA missions for CAP reimbursement claims. CAP

units prepare and process reimbursement claims based on whether a disaster or emergency has

been declared by the President under the Stafford Act.

SECTION 2: RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1. ASD(HD&GS). Under the authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of

Defense for Policy, the ASD(HD&GS):

a. Acts on behalf of the Secretary of Defense in accordance with DoD Instruction (DoDI)

5111.13 and DoDD 3025.18.

b. Coordinates DSCA policy matters to obtain Secretary of Defense and Under Secretary of

Defense for Policy approval, when appropriate.

c. Participates in and provides oversight for coordinating or facilitating planning activities

within DoD, or with other federal departments and agencies, as needed.

d. Oversees and monitors compliance with this volume.

2.2. DOD AND OSD COMPONENT HEADS. DoD and OSD Component heads:

a. Ensure that development of DoD issuances, concept plans, interagency agreements, and

memorandums of understanding or agreement with external agencies are consistent with this

volume.

b. Ensure Component compliance with financial management guidance related to support

provided for DSCA operations, including guidance related to tracking costs and seeking

reimbursement.

SECTION 2: RESPONSIBILITIES

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

SECTION 3: INCIDENT RESPONSE

3.1. DoD has a long history of supporting civil authorities in response to disasters and

emergencies. Defense support is primarily drawn from the existing warfighting capabilities of

DoD.

3.2. The majority of natural and man-made disasters are handled at the local and State levels;

DoD support as portrayed in the media is mostly in response to large-scale natural disasters, such

as hurricanes and severe weather. Following a Presidential declaration in accordance with the

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Section 5121, et. seq., of Title

42, United States Code (U.S.C.), referred to in this volume as the “Stafford Act”), the

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

acts as the lead federal agency for coordinating the federal response. See Section 4 of this

volume for information about DoD support during natural and man-made disasters.

3.3. In accordance with DoDD 3025.18, DoD officials have immediate response authority to

respond temporarily to a request from civil authorities facing imminently serious conditions in

order to save lives, prevent human suffering, or mitigate great property damage. Immediate

response authority may be used in incidents where limited time does not permit approval from

higher authority through the normal request for DoD assistance processes. See Section 5 of this

volume for detailed information about immediate response authority.

3.4. FEMA uses pre-scripted mission assignments (PSMAs) to facilitate writing mission

assignments (MAs) to request DoD support. See Section 6 of this volume for information

concerning PSMAs.

3.5. FEMA does not manage all disaster and emergency response activities. For example:

a. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the lead for terrorism incidents. Presidential policy

directives, Section 831 of Title 18, U.S.C., Section 382 of Title 10 U.S.C., and other applicable

laws govern DoD domestic counter-terrorism operational response and countering weapons of

mass destruction (WMD) support.

b. The Department of the Interior (DOI) and the United States Department of Agriculture

(USDA) may be responsible for wildland fire management. See Section 7 of this volume for

more information.

c. Incidents involving oil and hazardous substance spills may be managed by a federal on-

scene coordinator (FOSC). See Section 8 of this volume for more information.

d. Nuclear and radiological incidents; animal and plant disease response; biological events

requiring medical countermeasures (MCM) distribution; pandemic influenza and infectious

SECTION 3: INCIDENT RESPONSE

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

disease; and mass migrations also may have other lead federal departments or agencies. See

Sections 9 - 13 of this volume for information on these types of disasters and emergencies.

3.6. In the event of a domestic civil disturbance, State and local law enforcement agencies are

the primary response agencies. Governors may use National Guard forces in State active duty

status or, if approved by DoD, Title 32, U.S.C., status to aid State and local law enforcement

agencies. In extreme situations, the President may order federal military forces to engage in

domestic civil disturbance operations. Section 14 of this volume describes the conditions for

such DoD involvement. In extraordinary emergency circumstances, federal military

commanders have authority to engage temporarily in necessary activities in order to quell a

large-scale, unexpected, domestic civil disturbance in accordance with DoDD 3025.18. See

Appendix 14A of this volume for information on emergency authority.

3.7. The National Response Framework and the National Incident Management System describe

the roles and responsibilities of federal, State, territorial, tribal, and local governments during a

response to a disaster or emergency. Joint Publication 3-28 describes DoD planning

considerations for inter-organizational coordination during a response.

SECTION 3: INCIDENT RESPONSE

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

SECTION 4: NATURAL AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS AND

EMERGENCIES

4.1. GENERAL.

a. Local and State Responsibilities. Primary responsibility for responding to disasters and

emergencies (both natural and man-made) rests with State and local authorities. When a disaster

threatens or occurs, local authorities take immediate steps to warn and evacuate citizens, protect

life and property, and alleviate suffering. If additional help is needed, the Governor may direct

execution of the State’s emergency plan, use State law enforcement and public safety agencies,

activate State National Guard forces, or commit other State resources as the situation demands.

Governors may also request aid from other States through the Emergency Management

Assistance Compact.

b. Federal Support. When the response or recovery requirements are beyond, or

anticipated to be beyond, the capabilities of State and local governments, the Governor may

request federal assistance. As the lead federal agency, FEMA submits MAs to federal

departments and agencies to provide capabilities for the federal response. See Paragraph 4.4. of

this volume for the DoD request for assistance process procedures and Figure 1 for an example

of a FEMA MA.

SECTION 4: NATURAL AND MAN-MADE NATURAL DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

c. PSMAs. FEMA, in close coordination with the appropriate federal department or agency,

develops PSMAs to expedite the development of formal MAs during disasters and emergencies.

Although these PSMAs are designed to reduce the time it takes to staff a request, they do not

pre-approve support. The ASD(HD&GS) is the lead for all new or revised PSMAs for DoD

support, excluding those concerning support from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

(NGA), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

See Section 6 of this volume for additional information on PSMAs.

d. DoD Support. DoD has various capabilities and capacity to provide a significant amount

of support when requested by FEMA in accordance with the Stafford Act. In accordance with

the standing DSCA Execute Order (EXORD), the Commander, U.S. Northern Command

(CDRUSNORTHCOM) and Commander, U.S. Pacific Command (CDRUSPACOM) are

supported Combatant Commanders (CCDRs). Other Combatant Commands, the Military

Departments, and the Defense Agencies support CDRUSNORTHCOM and CDRUSPACOM in

the DSCA response. Some DoD organizations have specific authorities to provide direct support

of FEMA in coordination with the supported CCDRs. All DSCA requests for assistance are

evaluated using the criteria in DoDD 3025.18.

(1) USACE. Under the National Response Framework, DoD, through the USACE, is the

emergency support function (ESF) coordinator for ESF #3, Public Works and Engineering. The

USACE coordinates ESF #3 activities throughout the preparedness, response, and recovery

phases of incident management, and the USACE and other DoD entities may provide support

following appropriate approval. The USACE may, in limited circumstances when other federal

funding is available, accept reimbursable orders from State and local entities in accordance with

Section 3036 of Title 10, U.S.C. See Appendix 11A of Volume 1 of this manual for additional

information on the USACE.

(2) DLA. As prescribed in DoDD 5105.22, the Director, DLA, may enter into support

and service agreements and performance-based agreements with other federal departments and

agencies. See Appendix 11B of Volume 1 of this manual for additional information on DLA.

(3) NGA. NGA has various authorities, including statutes, executive orders, and DoD

and Intelligence Community policy to support the geospatial intelligence requirements of the

Department of State (DOS) and other federal departments and agencies, including FEMA. See

Appendix 11C of Volume 1 of this manual for additional information on NGA.

(4) Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). DTRA provides support of other federal

departments and agencies for incidents involving WMD, as prescribed in DoDD 5105.62. See

Appendix 11D of Volume 1 of this manual for additional information on DTRA.

e. Interagency Partner Guide. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for

Homeland Defense and Global Security (OASD(HD&GS)) maintains a DSCA Interagency

Partner Guide. The purpose of this guide is to enable non-DoD entities to understand more fully

the role of DSCA, how to request support, and under what conditions that support is appropriate.

The latest version of the guide can be found at:

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

f. Complex Catastrophes. Though disasters and emergencies can become complex

catastrophes, none has yet met the requisite criteria to be called a complex catastrophe. During

complex catastrophes, the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) and senior DoD officials may consider

additional actions. See Appendix 4A of this volume for the SecDef decision matrix used during

a complex catastrophe. To aid in planning for a complex catastrophe, Appendix 4B of this

volume lists considerations DoD Components can use for developing plans based on FEMA

ESFs. Appendix 4C of this volume discusses potential missions for DoD general purpose forces.

4.3. EXAMPLES OF POSSIBLE DOD SUPPORT. DoD possesses capabilities and capacity

to support another federal department or agency coordinating support to fulfill a State or local

request for assistance. Examples of DoD support include:

a. Defense coordinating officers (DCOs), Defense coordinating elements (DCEs),

emergency preparedness liaison officers (EPLOs), planners, and liaison officers (LNOs).

b. Incident support bases.

SECTION 4: NATURAL AND MAN-MADE NATURAL DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

c. Aerial assets for imagery and damage assessments.

d. Rotary-wing aircraft for search and rescue (SAR).

e. Transportation (ground and air).

f. Communications.

g. Temporary medical treatment facilities.

h. Aero-medical patient movement and definitive care in National Disaster Medical System

(NDMS) hospitals.

i. Manpower and equipment.

4.4. REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE PROCEDURES. DoD provides its disaster and

emergency support of FEMA in response to approved FEMA MAs. Most FEMA MAs are

generated at the FEMA regional offices or joint field offices based upon requests from State and

local officials. Some FEMA MAs are generated at the national level and normally are employed

when FEMA is attempting to pre-position capabilities in advance of State and local needs. As

much as possible, PSMAs are used to develop FEMA MAs. See Section 6 of this volume for

additional information on PSMAs.

a. FEMA MAs From a Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) (FEMA Regions or Joint

Field Office (JFO)).

(1) The FCO presents a FEMA MA to the DCO.

(2) The DCO validates the MA using criteria in DoDD 3025.18, including:

(a) Legality (compliance with laws).

(b) Lethality (potential use of lethal force by or against DoD forces).

(d) Cost (including the source of funding and the effect on the DoD budget).

(e) Appropriateness (whether providing the requested support is in the interest of

DoD).

(f) Readiness (impact on DoD’s ability to perform its other primary missions).

(3) The CCDR (USNORTHCOM or USPACOM) may approve MAs within the CCDR’s

existing authorities (e.g., standing SecDef-approved EXORD).

(4) If the CCDR does not have the authority to approve the MA, the CCDR forwards the

MA to Joint Staff/Homeland Defense Division, DSCA Branch (J33). Joint Staff/J33 forwards

SECTION 4: NATURAL AND MAN-MADE NATURAL DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

the request to OASD(HD&GS) and the DoD Executive Secretariat for staffing (OSD-level) and

SecDef decision. The ASD(HD&GS) has been delegated the authority to approve requests for

certain forms of assistance in accordance with DoDD 5111.13. The Joint Staff/J33 prepares an

EXORD for SecDef approval, if appropriate. If approved, DoD provides support. For life-

saving and time-sensitive MAs, the approval may be made verbally with confirmatory

documents to follow.

b. FEMA MAs From the FEMA Administrator (National Level). There are occasions

where the FEMA Administrator may request that federal partners provide capabilities without a

FEMA region request.

(1) The FEMA Administrator may present a FEMA MA to the DoD liaison element at

the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC).

(2) The DoD liaison element at the NRCC conducts the necessary coordination to ensure

that the DCOs in the affected FEMA regions understand the purpose of the Administrator’s MA.

DoD may deploy the requested capability to a DoD installation and be prepared to employ when

the affected FEMA region requests the capability.

(3) The DCO in the affected region processes employment of the FEMA MA, as

described in Paragraph 4.4.a. of this volume.

(4) If the FEMA region JFO in which the requested capability will be employed is not

activated, the DoD LNO element at the NRCC will forward the MA to the geographical CCDR

(CDRUSNORTHCOM or CDRUSPACOM). The CCDR may approve MAs within the CCDR’s

existing authorities (normally pursuant to a standing SecDef-approved EXORD).

(5) If a CCDR does not have the authority to approve the MA, the CCDR forwards the

MA to Joint Staff/J33 for staffing and SecDef decision. SecDef has delegated the authority to

approve requests for certain forms of assistance, in accordance with DoDD 5111.13.

4.5. FUNDING AND REIMBURSEMENT.

a. Pursuant to the Stafford Act, the President may direct any federal department or agency,

with or without reimbursement, to utilize its authorities and resources in support of FEMA for

responding to disasters and emergencies. DSCA is provided on a cost-reimbursable basis, unless

otherwise directed by the President or SecDef. DoD Components may be required to fund the

costs of DSCA initially within existing resources, with the understanding that the requesting

agencies may provide reimbursement.

b. FEMA provides DoD reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of the Stafford Act.

c. The Economy Act also provides authority and a reimbursement mechanism for federal

departments and agencies to support one another.

SECTION 4: NATURAL AND MAN-MADE NATURAL DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES

DoDM 3025.01, Vol. 2, August 11, 2016

APPENDIX 4A: SECDEF COMPLEX CATASTROPHE DECISION MATRIX

1. The matrix at Table 2 describes decisions that may be required before or during a complex

catastrophe and the effects and risks of those decisions. Decisions that SecDef has delegated to

others or made through DoD issuances, EXORDs, or other authoritative guidance documents are

not included. This matrix does not prescribe new policy, but rather provides senior DoD leaders

and their staffs with a shared understanding of likely and known decision points.

2. The decision matrix is also a useful tool during other domestic incidents that do not rise to the

level of complex catastrophe. SecDef may make various decisions as requirements and stresses

on DoD change over time and the scope of the incident becomes more apparent.

3. The decision matrix is colored orange for geo-political considerations of an incident, yellow

for legal authorities associated with employing DoD capabilities, blue for forces and command

relationships, and green for funding considerations.

1. Under the National Response Framework, DoD is an ESF coordinator or support agency for

the 14 ESFs that build, sustain, and deliver response capabilities.

2. Table 3 outlines the potential civil support requirements, organized by ESF, that could be

requested of DoD when a complex catastrophe occurs. Each of the requirements listed will

likely be compounded when the catastrophe persists for a prolonged period; when multiple

conditions and cascading effects are present; or if any CBRN conditions are introduced. Table 3

helps form planning considerations in DoD complex catastrophe planning efforts.

Most people have experienced the cascading (second and third

order) effects of short-duration or localized electrical power

failures (e.g., food spoilage, heating and cooling, cell phone

failure). Longer-term or regional power failures have the

potential to cause significant cascading effects on the United

States.

The vast majority of this infrastructure and the electric grid

that supports its function reside in the civilian or private sector

and outside DoD’s control. Disruption of the commercial

electric power grid, triggering cascading, region-wide failures

of critical infrastructure, may result in a complex catastrophe.

The net effect of physical damage to high-voltage

transformers, pipelines, refinery operations, and other hard-to-

replace components could be lengthy power outages across

numerous States, with the potential for rolling blackouts across

the United States. The availability of key components for

power generation and transmission may be limited, resulting in

protracted interruption of fuel supplies for electricity-

generating plants. These risks are magnified by the highly

interconnected nature of information and infrastructure

systems.

As the largest consumer of energy in the United States, DoD is

dependent on commercial electricity sources outside its

electricity consumed by DoD facilities originates offsite, while

approximately 85 percent of critical electricity infrastructure

itself is commercially owned.

Second-order effects resulting from loss of the electric grid

include loss of critical infrastructure such as communications,
