Other Domestic Activities and Special Events IV-3 Sharing Information with and Providing Support to the US Secret Service (USSS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 8. Civil Air Patrol/Air Force Auxiliary Support The Civil Air Patrol flies more than 85 percent of all federal inland SAR missions directed by the AFRCC. Outside CONUS, the Civil Air Patrol supports the joint rescue coordination centers in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The Civil Air Patrol provides air and ground transportation and an extensive communications network. Volunteer members fly disaster-relief officials to remote locations and provide manpower and leadership to local, state, and national disaster relief organizations. Requests for support are submitted to and approved by First Air Force (CONUS, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands), Eleventh Air Force (Alaska), and Headquarters Pacific Air Forces (Hawaii) commanders for the assigned missions of damage assessment (e.g., observation, photography, hyper- spectral imaging), evacuation, monitoring, and light airlift in their AORs. 9. Incident Awareness and Assessment IAA may be requested to support first responders and decision makers in the following eight mission areas: situational awareness, damage assessment, evacuation monitoring, SAR, CBRN assessment, hydrographic survey, dynamic ground coordination, and cyberspace incident response. SecDef approval of the DSCA EXORD may authorize traditional intelligence capabilities to conduct DSCA missions for non-intelligence purposes. Use of Title 10, USC, IAA assets designated to provide IAA for other than the eight IAA missions requires SecDef approval on a case-by-case basis. Questions on whether DOD intelligence capabilities may be utilized in a DSCA operation should be referred to the command judge advocate if the authorities, permissible operational parameters, and/or limitations are unclear. While the use of intelligence assets by the NG requires SecDef approval, the use of non-intelligence assets in a Title 32, USC, or state active duty status for IAA requires approval of the governor. NG complies with procedures and restrictions established in the CNGB Manual 2000.01, National Guard Intelligence Activities. 10. Civilian Critical Infrastructure Protection a. Critical infrastructure can be described as those systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the US that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters. In addition to critical infrastructure, key assets include symbols or historical attractions, such as prominent national, state, or local monuments and icons. In some cases, these include quasi-public symbols that are identified strongly with the US as a nation and fall completely under the jurisdiction of state and local officials or even private foundations. Key assets also include individual or localized facilities that deserve special protection because of their destructive potential or their value to the local community. DOD’s portion of the critical infrastructure is the defense industrial base (DIB). The DIB sector is the worldwide industrial complex that enables research and development, as well as design, production, delivery, and
