Supporting a Comprehensive All Hazards Response II-21 (b) Sources of Assessment Information. Once objectives are matched to effects, measures, and standards, the question becomes, “How do we gather the information to inform decision making?” There are numerous sources the staff can use, including: input from LFA (normally via DCO located at JFO), briefings/meetings in support of the LFA’s operational tempo (battle rhythm), open sources, and Web-based collaboration tools (e.g. Situational Awareness Geospatial and Global Adaptive Planning Collaborative Information Environment). For additional information on assessment, see JP 5-0, Joint Planning, and ATP 5-0.3/ MCRP 5-10.1/NTTP 5-01.3/AFTTP 3-2.87, Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Operation Assessment. 13. Multinational Forces Integration a. If a foreign government indicates interest in supporting a US domestic response and has passed its request to support through DOS and is approved by FEMA, DOD will establish processes and procedures to integrate these foreign forces as a component of the military total force into the response. Initial discussions and coordination between potential non-US participants should address basic questions at the national strategic level. These senior-level discussions could involve international organizations such as the United Nations or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, existing multinational forces, or individual nations. The result of these discussions should determine: (1) The nature and limits of the response. (2) The command structure of the response force. Figure II-3. Example Defense Support of Civil Authorities Objective with Effect, Measure, and Standards Objective: Rescue Trapped Survivors Effect: Lives are saved during search and extract operations. Citizens are rescued from search sites. Measure: Demand for Department of Defense support decreases due to successful completion of mission assignments. Standards: Begin urban search and rescue operations at designated location(s) on time. Affected areas searched to locate victims (include total number of located victims during the current reporting period). Injured victims medically triaged and treated.
