Facility Requirements. DOD forces will rely on DOD facilities for support to the maximum extent possible. Short-term leasing may be a necessary option depending on location and duration. No occupation of private land or facilities is authorized without specific legal authority. Real property support may be obtained from the General Services Administration (GSA), USACE, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Air Force Civil Engineer Center, or other USG departments and agencies. For information on base support installation (BSI)/joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (JRSOI), refer to Appendix G, “Department of Defense Installations Supporting Defense Support of Civil Authorities,” and JP 3-35, Deployment and Redeployment Operations. 11. Phases of Defense Support of Civil Authorities Phases are distinct in time, space, and/or purpose from one another but must be planned in support of each other and should represent a natural progression and subdivision of DSCA operations. Each phase should have a set of starting conditions that define the start of the phase and ending conditions that define the end of the phase. The ending conditions of one phase are the starting conditions for the next phase. Commanders determine the number and purpose of phases used during DSCA operations. The use of the phases provides a way to arrange activities. Within the context of these phases established by a higher-level JFC, subordinate JFCs and component commanders may establish additional phases that fit their CONOPS. JFCs should review and potentially consider aligning with the LFA phasing for DSCA operations. For an example phasing construct in support of FEMA for disaster response, see Appendix J, “Example Phasing of Defense Support of Civil Authorities.” For additional information, see JP 5-0, Joint Planning. 12. Assessing Defense Support of Civil Authorities a. Introduction. Assessment is a continuous process that measures the overall effectiveness of employing joint force capabilities during military operations and the expected effectiveness of plans against contingencies as the operational environment changes. The purpose of assessment is to integrate relevant, reliable feedback into planning and execution, thus supporting the commander’s decision making regarding the adjustment of operations during execution. JFCs are the central driver for assessments as the ultimate stakeholders in the success of their command’s activities. However, the LFA and state, local, territorial, and tribal civil authorities are major stakeholders in the transition process. As such, the JFC should work with LFA and other civil authorities early in the DSCA response to establish transition criteria and the metrics used for assessment. The JFC must continually monitor the support rendered and assess the progress toward meeting RFAs from civil authorities. This operational picture should be shared with civil authorities to
