Executive Summary xvii 12333, United States Intelligence Activities (as amended), and DOD policy, the only authorized mission sets for DOD intelligence components are defense-related foreign intelligence and counterintelligence. For these reasons, DOD intelligence component personnel are limited to the performance of only these mission sets. Any use of traditional DOD intelligence assets or capabilities for nontraditional uses must be expressly approved by SecDef. Logistics During times of crisis, DOD may provide vital logistics support to civil authorities. The authorities and responsibilities for logistics operations in support of DSCA are largely the same as logistics operations for any other DOD mission set. Some notable exceptions apply to DSCA operations within the land, airspace, and territorial waters of the US. When multiple logistics capabilities from many participating agencies, multinational partners, international organizations, NGOs, and private-sector entities are involved in DSCA operations, each is ultimately responsible for providing logistics support for their own forces. However, the geographic combatant commander (GCC) should strive to integrate efforts through the use of acquisition and cross-servicing agreements and associated implementing arrangements and any other vehicle necessary to provide logistics support. Optimizing the capabilities should result in greater flexibility, more options, and more effective logistics support. Public Affairs During DSCA operations, military public affairs (PA) activities, military civil authority information support (CAIS) element activities, public information actions, and news media access to the DSCA operational area are subject to approval by the primary agency. The primary agency may establish a joint information center (JIC) to coordinate PA, CAIS, and public information actions. The DOD forces should coordinate PA activities and comply with PA guidance from the JIC, and if one is not set up, from the joint field office.
